I have an issue I would like advise on.  A co-worker has misunderstood some email 
questions or comments of mine dealing with work.   Three cases come to mind in 
particular.  In all three cases, she emailed a somewhat castigating reply to me 
with others also included in the email.   In two cases, it was a particular 
misunderstanding or lack of full reading on her part.  She apologized for one -- 
privately on that one.
 
The issue is the repeated emailing -- not telephone or face-to-face conversation -- 
and the public nature of it.   I was taught both professionally and Biblically that 
you dealt with an issue first by going to the person privately and trying to clear 
it up.
 
I have more than once asked her to talk to me privately so that problems could be 
avoided, but another issue arose today with the same problems.
 
What do I do at this point?  Is it time to take it to Human Resources?   We are on 
different campuses so it doesn't seem to be a principal next issue, or should I 
take it to her principal?   
 
I need some advice gang on how to best handle this.
 
Thanks all
