		<description>Funny thing is, I only heard of this thing yesterday, when I read an article on MSN.  People are focusing on the wrong things:

- Spelling errors.  Who cares?  Not important to the story.
- Whether or not Korman changed the salary.  Also not important, because she obviously agreed to it.
- Whether or not there is some kind of copyright issue.  Again, who cares?  Not important to the story.
- Whether or not she's hot.  Really?  Who the heck cares when your life is being defended by her?

People are missing a simple fact...she jerked around a potential employer without regard for the bridge she was burning.  Why?  Who cares?  Maybe it was because she thought she could do better on her own, maybe it was because she didn't like the salary...neither argument make any sense since she's taking court-appointed cases now, anyway.

We learn that she's a person that doesn't respect the position of others, nor care if they are harmed or inconvenienced in her pursuit of her own lifestyle.  If I were a client, that'd be good to know about her.

What we also learn is that she is an attorney that can't be taken for her word.  As an attorney dealing with her, that'd be good to know, and as such, I'd be really happy to have received that email.</description>

		<description>Those that take sides with Abdala are idiots. This is a fact, not an opinion. 

Let me break it down so you morons can understand...

As with ANY profession:
You DO NOT accept a job offer, and then decide to change your mind the night before!

If you MUST make this decision, you must be humble about it-- REALIZING that you are in the wrong.

But no, Abdala felt she needed to tell Korman how to do his job. There is no place for entry-level know-it-alls in a place of business.

You DO NOT speak to people "higher-up" in your field than you with such disrespect. 

She deserved this, and I truly hope that the world now knows that this is what happens when Daddy spoils baby... 

Bitches are born. 

If I were in Korman's position, I would have done the exact same thing, being SURE to send it to ALL of the  top executives in my field.

Do you really think employers don't talk to each other???

Do you really think that if you piss off an employer in the slightest, they don't at least mention your name around the field?

What a snob Abdala is... 
These comments assure me that she should have paid better attention in class and/or went to a better institution.

a snob with no right to be a snob is the worst of all.</description>

		<description>I wouldn't work for Korman. She has an excuse, she is young, and speaks her mind directly, without the flim-flam - something that first time employers expect and know how to direct and hone. Even if he's a "first class lawyer"  he's also a first class control freak and a first class narcissist, based only on the language patterns of HIS FIRST reply. Good choice Dianna, your instincts are impeccable, you'll do well on your own.</description>

		<description>Basically, I think that lawyers (at least the ones i've come in contact with) usually are more  out-of-tune with human decency than the ones I've come across. They're ethics revolve around winning or losing in the courtroom and not really about right or wrong. I think that even though Korman said "I wish you the best of luck" he really showed a complete lack of consideration and was serving his own personal ego by trying to destroy her career. 

It says on the set of e-mails that Breen is a professor at BU, so if he was fowarding it to students to show them what not to do, I can certainly understand that but, he could have at least muted his name, and he also said "some folks." Breen seems to be as bad as a gossipy housewife. Copyright laws aside, someone else's personal e-mails are really no one else's business and by fowarding the email with the person's name attached, you're being as petty as a middle schooler. 

This is, more than anything else, a case of unchecked egos. Dianna Abdala got pissed off at Mr. Korman for retracting her salary offer. Mr. Korman got pissed off because he already made the stationary and accused Dianna of being an indian-giver. Dianna took some offense at that and wrote something even meaner. Mr. Korman sort of took the high road (bravo to that) by trying to give her some advice, but not in an extremely friendly way. He simply said "It's not a good idea to try to piss us off." Dianna did not take the high road, by saying "blah blah blah" (although I got a kick out of it). Then Korman and Doug Breen take the lowest road imaginable: foward it to everyone in an effort to ruin her professionally. I point the fingers for this disaster to Korman and Breen. Abdalla is just young and a bit overconfident, Korman and Breen were not young, they knew the consequences of what they were doing</description>

		<description>How any of you defend this girl? She's a trust fund baby, only able to do this because of her elevated societal position. Its not so much her rejection of the job, that happens frequently, its her evasive and sneaky manner that upset him. You want those qualities in a lawyer? She can only survive, and unfortunately with some of you people, thrive because she was in a position of wealth in the first place.

Truly disgusting. Even more so that some of you defend her. This is surely evidence of a dying society.</description>

		<description>Immaturity at it's finest!
Mr. Korman seems cocky and unprofessional in my opinion.
He has a problem spelling as well, and let us not forget David Breen to whom he forwarded the email to.
Love the low class "WTF" and unable to spell cliche.
Now this tells me a lot-sorry David but not very nice.
I think I know Jack his brother, if it is the David I've heard of here in PA.
Hope he is well.
Mimi [my nicname] and I'm no lawyer lol I stumbled across this doing a search.
Come in men..grow the heck up.</description>

		<description>Mister Korman is wrong. He has commited Slander and has broken the confidentiality between and employer and a potential employee. It is very unprofessional and She was 100% right and just because she made a typo or mispelled sow doesn't mean she wasn't morally in the right.

I love how this guy gets his buddies to chime in and then basically tries to make it hard for her to GET A JOB IN HIS TOWN.

This is hick like behavior and I'd never want this ass clown to represent me ever.</description>
