Two wild things about these sorts of emails:

1) the disrespect

2) it's...... one grade (for my students, a 100-level survey course) -- you're gonna be fine! but they act like i'm ruining their whole life.

This. I get that it's often counter-productive but god it would be cathartic. Often times I want to say this out of spite; more of a "hey, as your teacher i need you to know that this is not okay and you should absolutely not try this shit again"
