WSO,
So I recently put in my resignation letter and giving my 2 weeks notice. The boss, at the time, seemed upset but not overly dramatic about it. Then, yesterday I exchanged emails giving my official date and for whatever reason, he was not pleased. Thereafter, he started attacking me personally, telling me I was a wasted investment by the company along with other rants.
My question is, How should I go about this? Should I even give a rat's a$$? All suggestions welcome.

Probably better to not
Probably better to not further burn bridges by stooping to his level. Of course, it depends on what was said. Can you post the body of the email?
As annoying as this is, you
As annoying as this is, you should try to play it above the board. Don't go to his level. Instead, express your regret that it didn't work out, say you understand his concern, and that you would like to do whatever you can to leave the firm on good terms (extra work in the next couple of weeks to leave the department in good shape, etc. -- whatever he thinks would be helpful). You don't want to burn bridges in this business, it can come back to bite you in the ass.
Thanks guys for the response.
Thanks guys for the response. In a nutshell, he said the following:
-Wasted investment by company
-Misjudged my "character"
-Would kick my ass if I was his mentor
-That I must really hate the company

next time, try meeting up with you boss and asking him if his firm can match you new job offer's salary. if they can't (which is very likely) you won't come off as a "wasted investment" (which i doubt you are). its very understandable to leave because your getting a higher salary.

2) He actually said he would 'kick your ass'?
I only ask because if you're at a F500 and he did, HR probably already knows.
