Hey bobbyz!

I'm really surprised that this is taking so much of your mental energy :/ I remember you wrote quite an aggressive message on the Hackathon Slack that had to be removed by admins..

It seems like you took my email so much more serious that you should have!

I definitely didn't want you to feel like I was faking a friendship, this was a cold outreach done because I believed that this could add value to you.

But it's just cold emailing. I didn't mass email people without a reason :) You met people, you might not want to lose touch, that's it.

But agreed - totally a grey area - I'm not complaining, I should of course expect such reactions!

Grey area? Don't you mean technically illegal in the sender, receiver, and slack's jurisdiction?
