So you need to write your emails more clearly.
Coming 'round and telling me you've just sent me an email, and to discuss it, is the office equivalent of queue-jumping. Have I responded? No? Then I haven't got to it yet. Did you mark it as important? Yes? Then I will prioritize it.

It's trying to tell me that you're more important than the other people I deal with, and you're not - even if you're head of the company, or a senior manager - it's the little people that make the wheels go 'round - get back in your office and wait your turn.

But I would have come over anyhow.
Not sure how it works in your place of work but all the places I've worked colleagues regularly walk over to each other to discuss things rather than relying on email alone. You must have a weird culture in your office if everyone's email gets queued and dealt with in order and you never get up to talk to anyone. Then there are "off the record" conversations -- would you really forward an email to a colleague with the comment "what is this stupid twat playing at?" knowing the email is recorded for ten years and can be accessed by a large number of people involved in the situation?
