Whether it’s a work, family or other sort of email that makes you go, “Hmmm,” there are correct ways to handle the situation.

We see it all the time.  Sometimes, I think there are a few people out there who should be banned from emailing.  They truly have no clue their emails have “tone” and back and forth banter just becomes exhausting. 

Same thing on Facebook.  I cannot believe how some folks snipe back and forth on each other’s walls.  Take it offline and, maybe, pick up the phone or talk to the person face-to-face!  How about that?

In any case, here are some tips on how to deal with rude emails.  Hope they help:
