Teaching an old dog new tricks

The weather is nice tonight and my brothers decided to order pizza. I sat down and noticed that I received this God awful reply to an e-mail I sent to a friend earlier. The usual thing for me to do in this case is basically quote everything that is said on the e-mail and just make the sender look like an idiot, but this time, I decided to do something different. I called my brother so he could take a look at the message, we both agreed that the answer wasn't called for; so we sit down and have a talk. The fact that someone just went parliament on me and started making assumptions stroke me as rude, but his wise words were not to bother: if this is the treatment I get for helping out, then let it be and just forget about the whole thing. I don't know if he's right but I'm betting on him.

Some things are not worth the hassle. It is sad, but not inevitable. The interesting part is that I saw this coming, I behaved differently this time. I didn't assume responsibility, I didn't lower myself and started barking. I did what I wanted and had to do.
