Erin, I am in serious bitchass asskicking mood for you! What the FUCK!?!
Maybe if she spent less time combing through the emails of people she doesn't know and spending her unsolicited two cents then she could, oh, RAISE her children and not worry about those pesky teachers with their shifty, shifty morals.
The FUCK.
Also liking Betsy's and Anne's suggestions, maybe with something added about how people who'd seriously consider trying to get someone they'd never met fired over an offhand remark might just perhaps have a few leetle moral issues of their own. Maybe with a nice Bible quote, the one where Jesus says you should get the log out of your own eye before attending to the speck in your neighbor's eye.

Send it, Erin. It's absolutely perfect.
Oh, Susan, that's priceless. I'm adding it.
Thanks, Betsy! I'm crafting the actual email in another window, and haven't spellchecked yet.
Would this be slander? Or libel? I always get the two mixed up. Honestly, she would get laughed out of my school, anyway.
NB: Oh, too funny! My friend's fiance just emailed and was all "please piss her off so she backs out of the wedding. She told me I was going to hell last Xmas because F. and I are living together before marriage. She's a fucking nutcase."
Erin, I think she sounds like a nutcase, and you should ignore her, and not exchange any more written communication with her. And you know, she's probably a nutcase who is in a snit, because she's is incapable of understanding why anyone wouldn't want her darlings at a grown up reception.
I know there's no satisfaction in ignoring her, but you don't need her sapping your energy, even if she ends up tilting at windmills, you don't need the crap on your windmills, you know. /killjoy
Libel is written, slander is spoken.
Probably wise, Cindy, but my little finger already wapped down on the Send button with satisfying force.
And anyhoo, I couldn't have NOT replied to her. Would've ate at me more, and she is WRONG.
If she does email back, I'll read it. If it's an apology, fine. If not, I'll block her.
