I also think his use of the awkward, "The look I and the board want" instead of "The look the board and I want" speaks volumes.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Careful there, DJ -- you're re-writing his precious baby words! Perhaps he won't allow you to do that!
Aside from the poor sentence construction, "cutting age"? So like, 14-18 year olds?
I think his criminal misuse of commas would be enough to make me dislike him even if he weren't acting like a whiny self-entitled twat.
I think all y'all can tell just from those snippets why his writing requires editing that's a little more than just running spellcheck. And yet apparently that's a grievous sin.
This is the guy who uses commas instead of periods for ellipses.
Feel my pain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Does he somewhat resemble a howler monkey?

He's a total lost cause. I'd edit that email back at him too- as an added favor since you won't be around anymore.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This asswipe doesn't deserve your SCORN. Eviscerate him in an email kiss off and have done with him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good lord, Tep. What an unreadable prick.

You know, people don't generally shit all over their worker drones when they PAY the worker drones, but they feel perfectly entitled to be cocksucking prats when the worker drones are volunteers. Have y'all noticed that?
My freelance clients don't give me NEARLY as much grief, and *they* pay me, so (in my opinion), they're entitled to a certain amount of changing their mind and telling me what they want, even when it's the exact opposite of my opinion. And yet my paying clients don't treat me like the dim-witted stepchild.
Wonder why that is? You'd think that someone who's getting something for free would act in such a way that would ensure they would *continue* to get it for free.
Huh. Too bad for them.

Art Crawl!!!
It is apparently human nature to believe that something you're getting for free can't be as good as what you're paying for. (Thus they can't really believe that the work you've done as a volunteer is as good as something they've paid for.)
