Email Leads to Hate (And the Dark Side?)

alexbalk:

There needs to be a term to describe the condition where you keep an email unread in your box because you’re not prepared to deal with it yet, but then you start to hate and resent the person who sent it because it is the only unread email in your box and it sits there silently accusing you with its boldedness. Or maybe I am the only sufferer of said disease.

I suffer from this condition. Some email causes me to bleed hate, but I can’t express such emotional positions that are directed as much at the mail as the person in polite (or impolite) company. So instead certain email festers like a gangrenous intellectual limbs, despoiling the entire body of my Inbox. Which generates more hate.

It’s a circle. Not necessarily virtuous, but a circle.
