******, Please take the time to read this e-mail, as I did spend the better part of 30 minutes writing this to, believe it or not, help you in future e-mail replies. I'm only using constructive criticism, and I hope you take none of this offensively. I recently sent you an e-mail regarding some errors I thought I had found in your "Dragonball Mix-Ups" section. You pointed out why my assumptions were incorrect, and I'm glad that you told me this. But I didn't appreciate the manor in which you told me. First of all, I believe I was fairly polite in my e-mail, yet when you wrote me back, you seemed very rude and unkind. You also made assumptions about me, just because I thought I had knowledge to share. You thought I believed that I 'knew everything about Dragonball'. This was a very harsh assumption on your behalf. I don't now, nor have I ever thought I knew everything on the series. In fact, I believe I'm far from it. But, you twisted my words until they satisfied your needs. I just thought I knew what I explained to you, from my knowlegde of the manga, and what I could remember. There was one other assumption that I'm fairly sure you made. From the way you explained things to me, I could only gather that you thought I was a dubbie. Believe me, I'm not. I hardly ever watch the FUNimationized version, and most of my fix comes from the manga, not the anime. I doubt you're even reading this far, but there is still more that was wrong with how you replied. You practically started it off by saying that you hated people like me. You don't even know me, and yet you stereotyped me into a category I hardly belong in. Hopefully you did read this far and you learned something from it. I don't expect a reply, but I hope that the next e-mail you get from a person who incorrectly tries to point out an error they thought you had made is not replied to like the one I recieved. I have no problem with being corrected, in fact, I actually like it, as i only expands my knowledge. But to be corrected as you did to me didn't help in the slightest. I only have one more thing to tell you. You may think that by the effort I put into this e-mail that I have no life. Maybe I don't. I fact, I'm fairly sure I don't. But just because of this, it is no reason to disregard what I said. Some people who truly do fit into the category you stereotyped me into could be really hurt by some of the things you said to me. As far as I can tell, my e-mail was not even slightly insulting, and yet you use words and phrases such as 'I hate people like you.' and 'Thanks for wasting my time.'. If you didn't learn anything from this e-mail though, I highly suggest you don't reply to any other incorrect informants. I'd hate for your site to lose another return visitor.
