Wouldn’t I say “totally clueless” employer that alienated all the decent employees so those who are left don’t know what’s what?
Aren’t my response choices either to
- ignore it completely
- say “Screw you and the horse you rode in on”
- say “Pay me $$$ and I’ll talk to you”
and am I not leaning heavily towards #1?

Isn’t #3 the best cold dish, served with a side-order money?

How do you not do #3 first? Tell them your highest rate (we call it a “go away” price) and let them ignore you, right?
Worst case you get the cash and have to tell them stuff as best you remember, is that all bad?

Something about re-opening old wounds and not wanting to do so?
Don’t I wonder whether they already contacted the people who were above me in the food chain at the time in question (and made the decisions/told me what to do), and their rates were too high to consider?

Isn’t it like Brokeback Mountain, where I wish I knew how to quit replying, and it’s a love that not all approve of, except not gay, but me replying to ancient history mutilation?
Maybe?

When it’s a domain you happen to know more about since you started a PhD in that field and have read a fair amount, isn’t it way harder to cope, though? Like Homeric Epically harder? Also, isn’t it even harder after a few drinks?
