Yeah it's easier to just delete, but sometimes it's more fun to try and make a point, especially when something pisses you off like that. I've had more than enough encounters with companies who email like that, now I go out of my way to identify them and report them to every agency and even their other clients if I can, in hopes of getting them fined/blacklisted/whatever. Annoying as hell! Haha Scott, that is totally something I would have done too.

Definitely the right way to go. <br>I think learning about the negative interactions that can happen in business and online is really important. If we know what can happen then we are more prepared to handle it and much less likely to act this way ourselves. Thanks for taking on the crazy so I won't have to.... <br>And of course, great to read and hilarious as always :) Not naming names really shows your character. Definitely the right way to go.

The PR person felt the need to deflect from the real issue, that their press release and the method in which it was delivered was wrong. Eventually they will run into someone who, (without the support of awesome friends) will disclose who they are, and their business will be affected. Listing your resume, does not make you correct.
