7. Mark her email as spam and just get yourself OUT of this loop.

Show the copies to your boss, tell him/her you've blocked the person but don't want to make a big deal about it, just want it to stop.

IF you continue, you'll get more heated and SHE will play victim and get YOU in trouble or fired.


BUT if you think about this honestly this person came from a land that doesn't have Democracy or freedom AND she has obviously found a place in the Right Wing Corner where she feels safe because it has that familiar oppressive dogma wall that isn't designed for someone to peer over. Educate her that freedom of speech has it's limitations, can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater and "political speech at work" needs to not interfere with work even if it's using non-company email.


It's nicer just to give a very firm NO and completely disengage than it is to try and plead with her to be reasonable. People like that love to see DEMs beg for some reason. You're spending patience you could be using to work on a project or help a client. If you don't have that patience down the road because you let this person use it up, there is another way you could be jeopardizing your job.
