    Rubbish - you described a specific individual in insulting terms ("rule-bound", "inconsiderate to others", "petty", and "vindictive'). There is no reasonable way to interpret your message otherwise.

    If that is not insulting, I don't know what is... It goes far beyond pointing at an individual and makes this "letter" a piece of trash that belongs in a bin.

    Oh FFS this is the SECOND of only TWO threads I have read this morning that revolve around Moving and her innate offensiveness. F*ck this. I'm going for a long, peaceful, non-geoexpat-related, sh*t.

    Hmm - rule-bound: Not allowing people to do what they are supposed to do without a specific piece of paper.
    Rude/inconsiderate - not even taking a phone call from a senior official who could have sorted the situation out
    Petty - defined by theonlinedictionary.com as:
    pet·ty (pt)
    adj. pet·ti·er, pet·ti·est
    1. Of small importance; trivial: a petty grievance.
    2. Marked by narrowness of mind, ideas, or views.
    3. Marked by meanness or lack of generosity, especially in trifling matters.
    4. Secondary in importance or rank; subordinate. See Synonyms at trivial.
    5. Law Variant of petit.

    I think 2 and/or 3 fit the bill here.

    Vindictive - ok - that one was possibly gratuitous. I'll give you that one.

    Thinking of you with a lovely poem:
    Here I sit lonely hearted,
    Tried to shit, but only farted.
    Back at my desk I take a chance,
    tried to fart, but shit my pants.

    Interestingly enough 1 and 2 seem to describe you to a tee

    Closed this thread before it gets too personal as it is just getting to be the same old bickering and arguing and it is only Monday.
