The short message is "Don't be stupid" but being stupid I'm sure I will



have to give you more details.

Being stupid I will have to condescend (meaning to talk down to) and

hope that you get it.

Let's talk about what makes you stupid.

You are stupid when... #1

You

are stupid when you reply to me in an email without including my

original text. Do you really think I'm going to immediately know what

you are writing about with an email that only says "The link won't

work."

Which link are you

talking about, stupid?

Do you have any idea how many freaking

emails I get? Do you think seriously that you are so important that I'm

going to know instantly what you are referring to?

The solution is to simply have my my email somewhere in your reply....

or you can stop being stupid.

You are stupid when... #2

You

are stupid when you flame me with insults because you forget that I

have your email address. If you're on my mailing list and want off it

don't flame me ... that would be stupid. Instead you can 1) ask me to

remove you ... smart move or 2) click on the unsubscribe link at the

bottom of the email ... very VERY smart move.

You are stupid when... #3

You

are stupid when you assume I love your long emails. This does not apply

to family members and people I've held face-to-face conversations with

that have lasted over an hour. If you don't fit in one of the two

categories don't assume I'm going to read or care about your long

email. Save it for your blog.

You are stupid when ...#4

You

are stupid when you act completely against your own self interest. You

want to lose weight but you don't diet or exercise. You want a girl

friend but you won't shower daily.

Granted, it is here I have to

remind myself to go easy on stupid people; many people have "baggage" (

some people have cargo) and that , after all, I've been stupid in my

life ... but still... Why do things that are so completely

counterproductive?

You

are stupid when you yell at me. Do you think yelling at me is going to

get you some long term benefit? You might get what you want in the

moment but do your
style="font-weight: bold;">really

think I'm going to forget how easily you get unstrung? Do I really have

to say more?

You are stupid when ...#6

You

are stupid when you breed too much. Seriously, there are enough stupid

people in the world. You are the ones blocking the intersections at a

green light and paying your groceries with pennies. There are enough of

you already! STOP POLLUTING THE GENE POOL!!! Over five people in one

family unit is an eco-disaster.

You are stupid when ...#7
style="font-weight: bold;">

You

are stupid when you assume I'm either a nice guy or a complete a-hole.

The fact is I'm a person just like you. I have good days and bad days.

Instead of trying to pigeon hole me know that I have good days and bad

days. When you do that the bad days are taken in stride and the good

days are savored. Do that for me and do it for you.

Sincerely,

Dantalion Jones

PS, If you are NOT stupid you man feel free to add to my list of "You

are stupid when ..."
