Feb 2012

you were appropriately harsh. my sister sent me one, just one, email that was full of shit. i sent her back links debunking the premise and at the end, wrote, "i love you. please never send me this kind of garbage again," and she hasn't, and our relationship is still good.
i liked your response very much. bash 'em with facts.
