I found this email exchange to be pretty funny this morning.  It reminded me of the old Saturday Night Live with Gilda Radner doing the  Emily Litella bit where she rants and raves about something and then finds out that it is a bogus issue and then quietly says "Never mind".

I'm part of a Ron Paul Meet Up group and we're all on an email group.  There are about a hundred emails that go back and forth throughout the day. 

This is the message that made me laugh this morning.

Nevermind, sorry.  This account belongs to my friend who apparently was using my computer and didn't log out.  I thought this was my email account since it's my computer.

I apologize.

Even if he got on this list by mistake, firing back with that kind of language and showing such a temper is pretty stupid.  There's probably over 100 people who got his email this morning.  They are all thinking that Joel is a real hot head.   Wouldn't it be funny if Joel was a minister or judge or something.  Mild mannered on the outside but ready to fight at the drop of an unsolicited email.

I tell my eight year old son that before he hits his sister, he should stop and count to ten.  Before you hit send, count to ten.

Tim, this is funny.  I can't imagine this happening to me.  That is so embarrasing..  :)  LOL

Tim,

Sounds like someone who needs Dr. Paul's brand of medicine more than most! Probably a big government type...

Too funny. Can't imagine how embarrassed he must be. Your comment about the old adage about counting to ten is certainly true.

Tim, this is totally off subject but what sort of response or feedback are you getting from your google ads? If you don't want your post hijacked, feel free to delete this but I'd love to get your thoughts on this.

Nice reminder. Sometimes I have to count to 20.

Like your "Nuts" stuff. The book, the whole SW reference thing. Going to add you as an associate and subscribe.

Cheers...

Did you count to 10 after you called him stupid before you posted the event on your blog? The answer to that question may be somewhat embarrassing if anything...

Atlanta resident,  I said his action is stupid, which I think it is.  Maybe a better term might be "it's not smart".  I didn't think saying an action is stupid is that bad. Now maybe if I said that it was f**king stupid, that would be another story.
