Well, I finally got to the point that I snapped and told the rather infamous e-mailer exactly what I really thought about the situation that has evolved in my workplace. Confused? Check out the last two blog entries.
The e-mailer suggested that since I didn't reply to the first e-mail that: A. I was being irrationally mad, B. My sexuality is confirmed by the silence, and C. They did not deserve this kind of treatment [not acknowlegding their query].
Luckily, I did it on my own time with my own private resources (my computer, my bandwith, my personal account, and so forth) to their private account. In retrospect, I can only imagine the issues that could come up if the lashing was dispersed through company issued resources.
Nonetheless, I told the e-mailer I clearly disapproved of the methods used to "confirm" my sexuality. I said that it was not the business of the persons questioning, the company. I said the actions of the person that searched the site to find my profile was fraudulent (no not legally, rather their action was a deceitful act), and all of the busybodies that continue to spread the word are none the better.
Furthermore, since the e-mailer is claiming to be my friend, I gave a dictionary definition of friend and acquaintance and suggested that perhaps they fall into the latter category.
My only regret is that I was so livid when I typed it that I did not keep a professional tone, so some of the language is rather harsh. I guess I should have typed what I was thinking at the time, saved it as a draft and came back to it a few hours later to revise. Oh well, I hope it gets the point across at least.
