[consulting] A recruiter to watch out for...

[Sam Cohen]

I would actually prefer that you kept it here as I find it highly
entertaining -- and Alex hasn't had a chance to defend himself yet.

My take is it seems to me that John was the one out of line with his pissy
email to Alex -- and Alex did the right thing notifying others.  I don't see
how Alex asking John to attend his Drupal session was rude or deserved the
sarcastic email response.

Alex never asked, as far as I know, anyone to email John, so if someone took
it upon himself to do so, that's not Alex's fault.  John should have thought
twice before firing off that email .

Uh oh, am I going to have legal action taken against me now -- or the police
called?
