      I think it’s really interesting how different people find these dickish or awesome. I wonder if it depends on the context and the source of the email?

        It is pretty funny that the assertive ones that are clear are the ones I have been told are too aggressive and that everything should be passive so the recipient doesn’t feel pressured. If course the people that told me that were passive aggressive and always caused drama while all the assertive people got along fine and were clear about each other’s opinions and came to compromises.

        I think people’s take on them also comes from past negative experiences.

      In an email to friends, I could see these coming off as rude. But at least in my region, they come off as professional and concise.
