Some might say - Part 2

This was the response I got back after writing that email!
"How ridicules, have you got nothing better to do with your time Jan than write such a long winded email."
We received the email at dinner, wasn't sure if I should response back, but being egged on by some of the others I decided to! Trying to character assassinate my friend was a bad mistake!

If I was Michael I would have just acknowledged I was wrong and apologised after the first email and it would have been left at that! I didn't response straight away to his email as it is always better to let a couple of days past to see if he would have the balls to do the right thing, but alias he didn't!

Also if you reply straight away to someone, you may regret what you have said, better to calm down and be rational about it.

Dear Michael, 

Well clearly I use my time efficiently, getting all the facts and making a valid argument, instead of throwing accusations at people with no solid evidence to back up your claims. Maybe you should master the 'Queens English' before learning such a complex language as Mandarin as your spelling is appalling! 

Have you been watching the film 'How to lose friends and alienate people.' because you are doing a very good job at this! 

The reason why I wrote such an email was to explain in detail the purpose of the group.

You obviously have nothing better to do if with you time either, by initiating this conversation with your callous email!

If you are purely looking for a language exchange maybe you should invest in some private lessons!

Yours Truly

It has turned out to be rather funny! I even got a couple of emails of encouragement form other members of the group!

Dinner was good, Yes it must be true all the girls are scared of eating rice here! A couple of them only had half bowls, I must have had about 2 or 3 bowls of rice so did some of the other guys. I was pretty hungry as I had just been to the gym!

The 'Michael' incident gave us an interesting conversation topic! Michael has now left the group apparently, my intention was never to do this! I just wanted to state the facts to him!

The IOS 4.3 update for the iphone is out! I am downloading it in the library as the internet in my flat still isn't sorted yet. They were meant to come yesterday! Reminds me of Etisalat in the UAE!
