Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work
ross.w writes "Two legal secretaries in Sydney have been sacked after a flamewar over a ham sandwich got circulated throughout the cities financial district. The insults about figures, boyfriends and jobs flew thick and fast and ultimately resulted in the dismissal of both of them for mis-use of the email system."
The spokesman said he still did not know whether or not Ms Nugent's lunch was stolen.
Rumor has it that Nugent's lunch was stolen by her ex-boyfriend who is now with Bird.
Warning: Do not pass this on.
Regardless, the person who forwarded these emails to external parties should be fired because company emails shouldn't be forwarded to unintended recipients without original author's consent.
Rock that crushes, Paper & Scissors that don't matter.
BANNED!!! OLOLO
While cleaning the nineteenth floor, I noticed the fridge had been left open. Naturally I threw out all the spoiled contents. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble.
Just thank god it wasn't an emacs sandwich with vim in between. The fires would burn until the end of time *shudder*.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
Jesus saved me from my past. He can save you as well.
News from Fark. Stuff that doesn't matter.

I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter...
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
does anyone else realize that the only reason this is news is because some schmoe was searching online for "katrina" and came across this pointless story?
The worse part was that the husband told me about it over IM during their fight. And the wife got even more pissed since she heard him typing...but not to her. I heard later that their argument basically started all over again because of the extra IM to me.
Obviously a geek couple.
Please let this (bad) joke die. You didn't even do it right, not that it would have been funny either way.
Preemptive strike (please don't add any missing ones):
But do they run linux email clients?
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those
1. Flame co-worker via email
2. ???
3. Profit!
I don't have email access you insensitive clod!
I, for one, welcome our new email-flaming overlords.
Rude emails at work? Won't somebody think of the children?!
Well, in my day we used real flamethrowers to flame each other, and we liked it that way!
Ecpecting a dupe post in 5, 4, 3, . . .
Netcraft confirms, email flaming is dead . . .
All your jobs are belong to email flamewar.
George Bush is responsible somehow.
I have email flamewars at work all the time and there's never been a prob%^%@13#^$3@#$*^&^NO CARRIER
everything in moderation
Now, if I was in this flame war (and if I was a woman), it would read more like this:
Me: You stupid bitch, I ate your sandwich. I thought it would save a few pounds off your fat ass and I hadn't eaten in two days.
Her: At least I'm not blonde!
Me: Your pussy hairs don't lie you little slut.
Her: What?!
Me: That's right. I got pictures. When my dog was licking you in your "sweet spot", and your pussy hairs are blonde alright!
Her: Well, at least I have one!
Me: One what? One brain cell? One ovary? One tit? You're so fat...blahblah
Get the idea?
I don't know what's worse, being incompetent, or getting fired over a lame flame war.
Like what I said? You might like my music
Even people on Slashdot are more literate

No they're not. Let's not get carried away...

Whatever happened to a sane style of communicating with people over e-mail? I remember times where people actually quoted relevant material from previous mails, trimmed down unnecessary garbage and answered questions *below* the question itself. These days you need to sift through millions of lines of excessive "Original Message" quoting without any reference to the actual contents of previous messages. Sucky line breaks, HTML-crap, incoherent writing and idiotic bitmap smileys have made e-mail communication a Pain In The Ass, but certainly not an effective means of getting things done in a coherent fashion. Thank god there are some lonely islands in usenet with old-fashioned people who take the three seconds to trim down excessive quoting, who put answers *after* the questions and who know how to use an editor to get a message across. One of these days I am going to start a company that uses a newsserver as its main means of internal communication and I'll fire everyone who doesn't play by the rules of old style usenet posting.
