Why would an unsolicited marketing offer be considered private?
- jval 13y agoFair enough you publish the unsolicited email, but when you respond and the other person responds back, and the only people in the two and from lines are yourselves, it starts to be private, at least in my view.
- davvid 13y agoThat may be your view, and it's a noble one, but what I've learned over the years is that no email is private, ever. Treat them all like public correspondences and you'll never get burned.
- benihana 13y agoIt's not like anyone said anything that got them burned. Maybe they both treated this exchange like it could become public correspondence. The point is not whether they thought it was private or not, the point is, it's a dick move to publish an email someone sends you to offer you a job.
- overgard 13y agoBecause it wasn't marketing, it was a job opportunity. They wanted to give him money for services. To me, even if I dislike someone, if they approach me with a business opportunity I'm going to treat them with respect and dignity. Out of principle, I might decline their offer, and if I felt strongly enough I might explain why, but I'd do it in a way that's private and saves face for everyone.
