Need help with email. I'm so sick of this person's emails, and I need help
with a short curt answer.

This email ends with


"So, now I pose this question to you.

How could the good Lord take Anna Nicole from us and leave Hillary behind!?!"

I think what gets me the most is he and his wife are STAUNCH catholics, go to church and it bothers me that most emails he sends are about hate, dropping bombs, kill 'em all now, War War War.... These are people of the bible, that can quote stuff to you...and he is A BIGOT. (get mail about blacks and hispanics all the time. My daughter is married to a black man and he is one of the most patient, generous and loving husbands and father I have ever met.

Hillary is not my choice for president - and I'm not sure I want to vote for her, but I'm sick of them dissing her because they are afraid of an intelligent, educated woman....who happens to be married to a successful, hotty, adorable ex-president who can give a speech without stumbling through his abc's.

Thanks for any tips on how to handle this.

3. How 'bout: "Please stop sending me this crap"?
Adjust the wording as you deem appropriate, of course.

6. Here's a suggestion.
"How could the good Lord take Anna Nicole from us and leave Hillary behind!?!"

The same kind of a Lord who allows hypocrites who profess to be good Christians all the while in their hearts they wish evil and bad things to happen to others, and do nothing to stop it.

The same kind of a Lord who remains silent when "good Christians" judge others when they know that is not their place.

reason not to, call them on their hate and hypocrisy.

19. Excellent suggestions
I've done that. I've only had to block a few people, and that was when Stupid was at the peak of his popularity.

Most people would rather keep an easy line of communication open rather than have to spend money on long distance phone calls or make the effort to write a snail mail letter.

The ones who don't aren't worth the aggravation.

Thank God he took Anna Nicole from us, so that we could have the first female president who will clean up all of the FUCK-UPS of the last seven years!

10. Sweet Mother of Mercy, people like that
Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 05:59 PM by flying_monkeys
probably would have loved to have Anna Nicole BE our first female President. I feel sick....



Can you send back a reply like:


"Surely you jest :rofl: --- The Good Lord didn't haul Anna Nicole home, her mixing too many drugs did! At least Hillary doesn't play with drugs!"


Or would that just send them into more email exchanging?
\

Maybe the short and sweet "The Lord knows best" would be a better reply...

14. Ask Karl Rove he is an expert on pesky e-mails
Staunch catholics supported Hitler at one time.
Start sending the e-mails from http://www.whitehouse.org/initiatives/posters/index.asp
and http://www.whitehouse.org/dof/index.asp
and http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

That's a very simplistic little puppeteer you subscribe to. ANS was a disturbed woman with self-abuse issues, etc.

17. "God works in mysterious ways."
Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 06:05 PM by Make7
Maybe followed with: "Is it your intention to be second guessing the Lord? It sounds like that is exactly what you are doing."


Seriously though, if it is enough of an annoyance to be getting emails from them, you should designate their emails as spam in your spam filter.

Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 06:06 PM by Tennessee Gal
While I have tolerated your messages until now. I think that you have gone too far with this one. From this point forward you will be blocked on my e-mail account. If in the future you come to your senses, you may contact me via other methods like the telephone or snail mail. However, I will be expecting an explanation for your total lack of comprehension of the compassionate teachings of Jesus.

21. Someone sent me an email (the 'Andy Rooney' one) in which there were
Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 06:37 PM by Maat
racist, sexist, anti-GLBT comments, in my humble opinion.

It was a certain relative. I hit 'reply all,' and described MY belief system. Apparently, I scandalized the entire small town, and am not currently welcome in Enid, Oklahoma. Meanwhile, that relative has learned how to 'blind cc,' and not give either my husband or I another such opportunity.

I think that the part that got them was when I stated that we fully supported complete GLBT rights, and that my daughter (10) and I had both proudly rode with PFLAG in the Pride Parades in San Diego and Palm Springs.

That did it. No more emails from that relative.

22. You can send a well-researched reply, hoping some of it gets through. or...
... you can simply say that you have spent a lifetime thinking about these issues and being an activist for the other side, so it should be clear that the two of you will always disagree. Either way, close with a request to permanently remove your name from their list.

I've tried it both ways, and while spending a couple of hours composing a 5-page essay makes me feel justified, the truth is that there is no dialog here. Spam like that is designed to make those who already agree with it feel good about their rightness, not change anyone's mind.

What seems to work best for me is to refuse to read past the first few lines, and just delete it. I call replying to that kind of thing "rising to the bait", and it's a waste of my time. I HAVE spent a lifetime thinking about and acting on certain issues, and that's sufficient.
