got a lecture via email froma freeper

[WoodrowFan]

I found 2 emails on ym work email address today (!?). One was the Ann Coulter piece about the Democratic Convention, the other was titled "Kerry's Vets." The sender prefaced the Coulter piuece with a note along the liens of "once again Ann nails it...". I didn't even read the Kerry one. I sent an email "reply to all" saying "take me off your list, I don't want this hateful right-wing fascistic crap."


I got an apology back from the sender, but then she continured "but everybody has a right to their opinion...." and I quit reading at that point. I guess she feels free to spread hate but when I object to getting it in my mailbox I'm oppressing HER?!?!?!!?

1. At which point you should have responded

"Yes, that's why I called it fascist crap, that's my opinion."

2. Tell her

you have the right to free speech, but I have the right not to listen to it!

3. You could have added...........

If you continue to send me non-business related E-Mails at my place of business and jeopardize my employment my attorneys will be in touch.

4. Ask her if she wants your opinion in her mailbox daily

Everyone has a right to have an opinion, not shove it at everyone else.

6. "Sure, you have a right to your opinion. But I don't want to hear it."

End of discussion.

7. I got one last week too

Posted on an AOL board, with a lot of other Kerry supporters, and got this email calling me a "gay loving pig" and some other unsavory stuff. Of course the post had nothing to do with anything sex...identity nor sexuality.

I reported it. Oh well.

8. I think these are all signs that the panic is setting in on the other side

9. I also got the Kerry's Vets email, from a neighbor

People are so quick to jump on the "Kerry is unsuitable" bandwagon. At the bottom of the email all the recipients were advised to pass it on. These people are sure organized in their ability to spread crap. I've been in a bad mood all day thanks to this!

10. Sign her up for liberal email emails..

And tell her....

You may be entitled to your opinion, but here are some opinions based on fact, not blind hatred and ignorance.

11. I delete that kind of junk without reading it

Some "friends" of mine used to send me that junk until I got enough of it, and I deleted their names from my mailing list. They have their opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.
