wahtever he meant, So freaking rude! If he thought I would just accept this silently, he is so wrong. After kpkb-ing to many ppl, i was finally calmed down around evening time to reply.
XXXXX,
Thanks for taking the trouble to forward those emails though I'm rather appalled by your choice of words & punctuation mark.
It doesn't reflect very well on you really and I'm rather surprised that you actually cc everyone this.
People do get confused sometimes, you have to be a bit more forgiving than this.
You also have to understand that it is beyond my control to whether they click "reply all" or "reply GLENN".
Regrettably, this mail will take up some capacity of your inbox.
PS: I cc everyne this cos' I believe they need and will be interested to know the class rep's fastidious email preference.
To everyone else:
Hi all! Please check your 'send to' list carefully next time. Thank you very much. =)
Refrain from emailing irrelevant stuff to Glenn, unless otherwise absolutely necessary. He seems to get pretty upset over it.
Best regards,
Jacq (",)
His reply:

Whatever that please you, i have no comment. Great choice of words and nice font size you using. I could not have done better.

Seriously, I didn't expect him to reply. Didn't he just commented?! haha!
What was interesting was the replies from other ppl who sense the 'fire' from our exchange, as they were all CC. A few (girls) sms me before i replied which more or less summed up to - "wahlau Jacq, u saw tt email?! Shoot him back"
A few others (guys) replied after my reply, " Relax. Maybe some misunderstanding. we going to be classmates for 2yrs. never mind lah"
Seems like some gender war. As trival as this seems to be now, it was a different story at that moment in time.
1stly, I aldy buay-song with him for quite some time. His overly high profileness which he eagerly seeks and the way he kept disrupting the lesson momentum, I tolerated. I had actually shunned him to avoid direct conflict.
(What must happen, will happen i guess. at least in a milder form)
2ndly, it was only ONE mis-mailed. Must he get so worked up?! He sounded like the whole world owes him or I've been burdening him. hello, even my bosses (past & present) don't snap at me like that.
3rdly, he abused his position as a class rep to flood everyone's email with irrelevant stuff, which he tot was a friendly gesture. Nobody complain.
I believe he has the capability to express his thoughts in a nicer manner, if not he badly need to attend some email writing etiquette class.
he thought that was worse, my 1st draft was even more nasty & i can go on & on. Words like dumbass, harebrained, wimp, loser & !@#$% kept flashing in my mind.
N remarked that 你很厉害leh,他1句,你顶这么多!I find it quite hilarious after that actually.
Lesson learnt: 老虎不发威,你当我是病猫! I kept quiet in class doesn't mean I'm mute, ok!
Like every other, there's always both sides to a story. I don't denied that I acted upon the situation on impulse & very subjectively, but i felt that something has to be done to set the record straight. Stubborn, some may called this. I regard this as an femininity element from IJ times. U never know, Mag Low & Jo Teo might be proud of this. Haha!
postscript: I didn't really take this to heart after venting out, as usual, write & forget.
He, on the other hand, was so childish that he actually sms my sitting partner when we were in the same classroom, 1 table apart. Goodness lor... he is ard 30yrs.
It is my character flaw that I do not hesitate when it comes to any social sucide. Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, i think. You either hate me or love me =p
Rambles...
