I just found your blog but when I saw that snarky anonymous email as I scrolled down I HAD to read the entire post -- and you handled it better than I would have! I just don't understand the way people behave on the internet sometimes -- they do and say stupid enough things as themselves (think facebook ridiculousness) but apparentently anonymity make it 10 time worse. HONESTLY. Just because people can't see you while you say rude things, doesn't mean you don't look like an ass. :)Anna @ Take the Side Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489279182850771422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-56526536638023138112010-09-17T16:39:39.426-04:002010-09-17T16:39:39.426-04:00WTF?!

He is probably jealous that you all have so many friend and your kids wear cuter clothes or your hotter than his wife . . .and now he's wanting something to b*tch about. However, I totally understand if the guy seriously got his feelings hurt. But come on, you know when someone is your friend or just a bus stop aquaintance. People in my neighborhood have parties all the time and never invite me, heck, they even ask if people can park in front of my house! I do not get angry or offended. If he seriously got his feelings hurt, then he should have came to you to an ADULT.

It is your home and your business who you open it up to not your neighbor. <br /><br />I had a similar situation with a neighbor who actually is a friend. I was selling a sofa and she popped over on a weeknight without calling to check it out for someone else. I told her that my house was a wreck. Hot mess! She said no big deal. She came & went quickly. I was totally embarrassed about the house. A few minutes later she texted her husband, but sent it to me saying how awful our house was and that she couldn't wait to leave. I responded saying that she had texted me instead of her husband. She apologized, but things haven't been the same. <br /><br />Good luck!Robynhttp://www.imperfectnest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-33666759345145894392010-09-17T16:01:26.146-04:002010-09-17T16:01:26.146-04:00That was fun :) Need me to send out any more email...That was fun :) Need me to send out any more emails?

Your response hopefully will clear up any misconceptions. <br /><br />But why the anonymity? That's just stupid. <br /><br />If something like that happened to me, I wouldn't go out of my way to let the person know I was hurt...and if I did, I'd tell them directly.<br /><br /><br />Reminds me of a weird high school acquaintance of mine that invited me through Facebook to a candle party that she was hosting. When I declined, she followed up my message with a message asking me what I was doing instead of coming to her party.

I think we will have something eventually but there are only eight other families in the whole neighborhood, so it wouldn't be that huge. Perfect for a little BBQ or something.<br /><br />There was a party on the street for Labor Day that we weren't invited to. We don't know the family that well and wouldn't have gone anyway.

Maybe the same could be said here. Dewey Beach Boy thinks he's being clever, but he isn't. He's an Internet Tough Guy. Yeah, LOL, it's easy to talk smack when you're sitting behind your computer screen.<br /><br />And there's probably somebody who will be able to guess who he is; considering he used such a specific place as Dewey Beach to identify himself.<br /><br />I'm proud of you for standing up for your party. We've all been in situations like this. And like your comments echoed, sometimes we've been the party planners and sometimes we haven't been invited. How you made your decisions was fine and it was also your right as the party planners.<br /><br />It sounds like Mr. Boy is just jealous.<br /><br />You know me; I'll gladly e-mail him. Why not!

Maybe they felt everyone but them was invited? Even if that's the case, that their feelings are hurt, perhaps they could have gone about speaking to you about it in a different way, say face to face? If they don't know you well enough to do that then they have no business expecting an invite.Jenhttp://jensavage.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-23915955375445607112010-09-16T16:32:31.045-04:002010-09-16T16:32:31.045-04:00Oh, Hell to the No I do not invite people to my ho...Oh, Hell to the No I do not invite people to my home parties that I am not on more than a "hello" basis with.
