okay so when I first got this email I found it absolutely hilarious! I wasn't going to publish it on my blog...but S encouraged me to ;)
This is just great testament to show how people have REALLY different levels of sensitivities and how some people like to take out their bad days on others...

Analysis
Being a nice person, I went past the thought "man, this guy is totally touchy, unprofessional and rude and I can understand why business is ailing" and wrote back "Sorry had capslock on. Didn't realise it was that offensive. Cheers."
Because my laptop often locks up on capslock and cos alot of people write in capitals I didn't see anything wrong with my capslock message, and as S points out I wrote PLEASE and THANK YOU so how on earth could that be seen as "rude"?!!
I guess maybe we're not so with it- that in netiquette, capslock is interpreted by generic people as yelling...in any case the unsubscribe link in their original email was not working and I had to send an unsubscribe request 3 times for it to actually be done, so even if it was unintentional, they totally deserved to be yelled at into action! LOL
In any case latest life update- I'm feeling old and very responsible adult. In the past 12 hours been a little stressed and worried - was made aware of some of the heavier sides of life which you are blissfully sheltered from by your parents as a kid.
Still feeling rather disillusioned with the state of society (especially cityfolk)- people are so selfish, inconsiderate, such...takers - there are so few obviously decent people in the city which makes the decent people shine out even more like a twinkly star, and hence I am very grateful and appreciative for this minority. I am also starting to notice that good natured, fair and just people are few and far between...at least a compelling reminder for why I will always love Me! ;)

I still think you should have sent the message I sent ya...but yours was good too :)
I'm sorry youseem to be dealing with the A-holes of the planet lately. They are everywhere, even in Thunder Bay. Or is that especially in Thunder Bay? Hmm..Take care anyway
VERY FUNNY!!!!
I recommend that you read a great book called "A Prayer for Owen Meany" which you will really enjoy, and also notice how caps are used effectively in telling a story... have a good day mate,
BYE
Diego
shan, yeah my libran influences prevent me from being as bad ass as you LOL
oh who cares if Thunder Bay is full of a-holes when you have wonders of nature like kakabeka falls?!!!!
hey D, glad you had a chuckle :) yeah that book sounds great will do when I'm on holidays!
true...high places to throw people from are quite handy :)
And pretty to look at!
That's hilarious! You said thanks, please and your email domain is nice.com.au. How can he get offended by all that?
LMAO! Thank you for sharing that email - very weird. He sends you junk mail and then gets offended that you tell him where to put it!
It reminds me of a Billy Connelly sketch where there's this guy standing outside someone's front door - and they open it and he goes all aggressive 'CAN I HELP YOU?!' - and its their doorstep he's standing on.
The thing is we are bombarded with junk mail on all sides now - if it isn't killing off trees it's clogging up cyberspace! And then there are those poor old souls who's job it is to phone you at 8pm and try to sell you double glazing - I can't believe anyone EVER talks to them.
LOL.
I don't know why, but that totally cracked me up.
It's just so odd. And I would kind of think there'd be an automatic-type email sent when you unsubscribe. I'm a bit surprised he sent you a personal email.
I love your blog, btw. Well, at least what I've read so far : )
