I'm pretty irritated that i have dumb people around me who keeps reminding me how smart i am. i mean, i dont really need to be reminded of that.
I'm sorry, i am not offended by such dismal comments. I guess your 3 pages long Hate mail werent enough.. or rather, I just cant be bothered. Besides, i have too much common sense in me to stop and notice the Insignificant in my life.
i thought i shld do my dear friends a favour by publishing this entertaining piece of hate mail:

Prof Lee said the maximum pages that the report can reach are 8 pages. That’s why on our side, we are trying to push the details back to the appendix, leaving at most 4 pages for the main content for each concept. But the nudist resort already takes up 10 pages in the main content. Yes, I do agree that the content of the report is very important, but do bear in mind that Prof Lee emphasized it as a “tutorial assignment”, not a “project”. Certain professors penalize on students who do not follow strictly to the specified number of pages for the assignments. So it may not necessarily be “the more we put in, the higher grades we get”. If he sets such a standard for us (4-6 pages) he must have his reason for doing it. And it’s not like we didn’t approach him for his opinion; he also said 10 pages for each item is way too long.
Content wise, I agree that our part lacks some elaboration of some terms. However I feel that with regards to the promotional strategies, we have already given quite a lot of information. We can give a whole load of details if you want, but the main point is, Prof Lee might not want such a detailed assignment. If he had wanted it, he wouldn’t set the page limit to 6 and extended it for us to 8. In the first place, the number of people in a group should be 3-4 people, and you added Siting in. Fine, we respect that, but personally I feel that’s unfair because if the report is to be detailed, a single member can certainly churn out pages of details. If you are going to say, 5 people should have more pages of work done, then I have to say that it wasn’t meant to be 5 people in a group right from the start. There are groups in the class with only two people and yet we have five.
In my opinion, there are some things not properly formatted in your part of the report. For example, the first page has such a big blank that could have been filled with information. There are also several punctuation errors and spelling errors. I’ve highlighted them. As for the appendix, the proper way of writing an appendix is to start a new appendix on a fresh page. To save pages, what can be done is to put two sets of information in the same appendix label. The format of your report is also not standardized. For example, if you wish to put the referring of appendices in italics then it should be standardized. Otherwise, no matter how detailed the report is, the reader will be confused over the overload of content and the messy format.
Throughout the whole process of getting our report done, you have given me the impression that you do not respect us as your members, with the exception of Siting. You have subconsciously adapted the role of leader in the group, and you have imposed some of your ideas on us, which we, on the other hand, feel it was not right. You could have asked for our opinions, which apparently you didn’t. We did not reflect it back to you, partly because it was during our work progress, and we do not wish to have any conflicts internally. However, there’s a limit to our tolerance. Time and again you have referred to us as “the others”. Probably because we have not worked with you before that you don’t really know us. However, I feel that we are not being respected. Initially, we listen to your ideas and accepted them. But as the report progressed, our work and efforts are continuously refuted by you, simply because our work didn’t reach your expectations. You have to understand that the report is a collaborative work, and we do not have to obey your instructions as if we are your subordinates. Group discussions should mean we listen to everyone’s ideas and make decisions as a group.
You put in effort on your side of the project, we put in ours. Maybe not the way you like it, maybe not right from the start, but we did it in the end. You should learn to respect the way others work, or no project members are going to stay with you. Even if you think we’re really in the wrong, put it politely. If you dare, tell us in our face, don’t always put it sarcastically in an email and ask Alvina to ‘email the others’. However, I must say that I doubt you checked your own part, because of the mistakes made in your supposed ‘final copy’. Please edit your own side of the project before you come and edit ours. You can try politely saying that maybe there’s a lack of details where and where, but not demanding a change in such an impolite way. AND it is RUDE to change it yourself without asking our permission (which is what you are doing right at this moment). We put in our effort, we did our best. Just because it does not reach your fucking expectations doesn’t mean that we did not try our best.
Please learn some respect for other people and the work they put in their effort to do. I weep at the fact that you have not learnt a singe bit of RESPECT in your past 20 years. BOOHOO… Maybe you haven’t been able to earn much, from the way you treat others.
As such, we might consider detaching from the current group for the other coming assignments. You might feel offended after reading this, but that is how we felt when you exerted your dominance towards the assignment on us. We feel that there is a need to reflect our feelings, hence the letter was written. But no matter what, thanks for being part of the group, and thanks for the effort you’ve put into the assignment.

Oh wake up pls! and stop laughing! We all know such people are made for entertainment. I guess some people just dont grow up, and personally, i do pity them for their sorry plight.
i had replied in the most diplomatic way ever, politcally correct. besides i really dont see any need to defend myself over such silly remarks:
Dear Xue lin and Yunxin,
I'm sorry that you feel this way. Dont worry, i am not offended or anything. I guess its just a clash of work ethnics. Thanks for pointing out our stylistic errors, we've corrected it before we receive this mail. And yes, we dont mind splitting too, all the best in your next assignment.

Honestly,
Cry More . Coz no one cares.
p.s well, i'm sorry that their hideously badly written hate mail was taking up so much of the space.
