Ms. Hennings Application
Case in point - here's Kramer, being perfectly polite to this individual - a veritable example of businesslike and professional courtesy. He's been absolutely crystalline clear about what the next steps are and how to accomplish them, plus JREF has a website that spells it out, and a FAQ that gives further clarification... all of which Ms. Henning blithely ignores. Of course, she feels free to continue wasting Kramer's time asking if "she's still in the running for the prize", as if she'd actually applied.
Who's being rude now?
And let's not forget that Ms. Henning gives herself a perfect out at the very start, saying that she can't make her target admit that she projected her thoughts into them... so good luck negotiating any kind of real protocol. Of course, she also specifies that she can't read minds, either, which wouldn't rely on the cooperation of the subject... and it's becoming apparent that she can't read her emails, either.
After another meaningless exchange like this with her (which is what I expect will happen) - if Kramer decides that diplomacy and politeness are wasted and simply tells her "the way it is" - is he going to once again be chastised by people here over it?
Enquiring minds want to know.
