Some tips, from me to you.
*If you have to include the phrases "I'm not shallow, but..." and "I don't mean to be rude, but..." in whatever you are saying, then you are being just that. Sorry to break it to you.
*Don't make assumptions about the life of a complete stranger, especially when you have never talked to them and are basing your opinion on a little bit of tossed-off writing.
*There are times when brevity is best. Giving a brush-off to someone is definitely one of them. It doesn't require a dissertation explaining the perceived faults of the recepient. They'll get the message with just one or two sentences, honest.
*If you're going to give a negative and potentially deflating response to an e-mail, don't wait almost two weeks to do it. Either stab that knife in immediately, or let it go. Silence can speak volumes, too.
...Why no, this isn't based on anything that happened to me at all. Why do you ask?
