Correspondence Tone Notice

You are hereby notified that the above-named Respondent has been found, upon evidence gathered over a period of considerable patience, to be in breach of the following provisions:

1. § 26.3a
   Deployment of passive correspondence. Using a formula whose politeness conveys the opposite.
2. § 26.3b
   Escalation by copy. Adding a manager to a thread that had not required one.
3. § 26.3c
   The quoted history. Attaching the entire preceding chain to demonstrate a point already made.
4. § 26.3d
   Bold application. Emphasising a word in order to convey a tone email cannot carry otherwise.
5. § 26.3e
   Gentle reminder. Prefacing a demand with an adjective that makes it worse.

It is therefore ordered that the Respondent say the thing directly, or pick up the telephone, effective immediately. You are advised that continued conduct of this nature will be escalated. Compliance will be monitored. There is no appeals process, and there is no one to appeal to.
