Screeds

[msmemory_archive]

How do you respond to a coworker who forwards a political rant full of hate and fear, intended to deter you from voting for a particular candidate? I told him "This is not appropriate for interoffice mail," and I don't want to get dragged into a protracted argument of refuting his points. He and I do not share an outlook at all. I don't want to rat him out to Human Resources, because I suspect he's already in danger of being let go, and other than disagreeing with him politically I have no problem with him as a coworker.

Now if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.

Apparently not quite true - you also don't like his emailing policy. That might well be nitpicking on my part, but I'd hate not to list all of the considerations, and have one of them turn out to be important.
