Taiwanese colleague is extremely rude to me via email. How can I tactfully put her in her place?

Asked by LeavesNoTrace (5674points) January 11th, 2017

She is not my superior in the company and frequently sends emails that are shouting. Uses caps lock. I don’t know if this is a cultural difference or not but it’s incredibly frustrating, and I’ve almost lost my patience more than once.

I know not to take it personally because she is often pretty rude to others. I’m pretty good at rolling with things, but when I get shouting emails with bold, italics and caps locks at 8 am…well, that’s where I draw the line.

Her latest email:

“WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE REVIEWS, thank you.

NO MORE!!”

This has been going on for a while. How can I respond to this?
