I feel I should quote from Godfather III

[illadore]

A number of people (journalists, bloggers, commentators on my Livejournal and friends of mine) have all asked that my own emails be posted to set the record straight. They're included below

Wow. Terribly rude, what with all those 'please contact me' comments and all.

And pretty much what I expected. Monica, you have demonstrated grace and poise throughout this incident. While in my opinion it was unnecessary to post your e-mails (Ms. Griggs' responses speak for themselves), there should now be no question whatsoever where the fault lies in this sorry matter.

Thank you! I didn't really think it was necessary but a number of good friends of mine said I should perhaps listen to those asking for the emails.

I am really hoping everyone looks at these emails and gets really bored. :)

It's always better to just silence the issue than to leave it open for postulation, at least when it's something trivial like this that doesn't hurt anyone by being out there.

Do you think you could rally the internets into declaring my 25+ page paper due in 2 hours to be unconstitutional or something? :P

[illadore]

Good luck with that one, teffan!!! :)

It's not like you kept hammering on at her either. Your mails were short, to the point, and you gave her time to respond.

Soooooooo rude!

Gosh, I have the vapors! I mean, "You have stolen from me, let's talk about this like civilized people and negotiate a paisible solution in which the wronged party is fairly recompensated and the offender is properly chastened without undue humiliation or distress, on the understanding that it won't happen again."????????!!!!!! Where's my fainting couch? Why, if you had written such a blistering salvo of e-mails to ME, I would have holed up in my bedroom through the long weekend to sob my eyes out, emerging only to vomit and to dictate responses to your missives that consisted of nothing but a string of guttural howls. I would then transform my oversized supermarket flyer into a staggering media empire to dwarf Oprah's, and my highest pleasure and sole purpose would be channeling my vast wealth to crush you and yours like a bug under my heel. A BUG, I SAY! You got off easy

... looks like Cooks Source web site has buggered off.

Google seems to have a cached version of the page, or maybe that's just on my machine. I have the full text downloaded already though :)

Probably more a case of "ooh exceeded bandwidth, you're cut off!"

[janusfiles]

Even without seeing her replies (other than the excerpt that everyone has already seen), I am more convinced than ever that she is getting off lightly.
