When using reply to all, before you hit the send button, think “does everyone I’m sending this to want to hear about the private conversation I am about to have with this person?”  The answer is probably no.  This applies to Facebook as well.  If someone sends out a message to a bunch of people [...]

Gloria Allred, feminist, representing a porn star who is the mistress of Tiger Woods who is upset that she wasn’t treated fairly by Tiger….  You’re the mistress.  Dont you sorta know that going into an affair?
