[QUOTE="witzend, post: 139691, member: 99"] I hoped I wasn't specific enough to identify who she and I were referring to. If it's not ok I'm alright if you need to remove it. My concern is more one of that I [i]can't[/i] give her a new e-mail address without putting the other 20 people on the neighborhood watch list the same junk e-mail, and that would be too cumbersome. Junk e-mail accounts are for ignoring! And, I can't embarrass her through the chain, because I have to get along with some of those people and they may feel the same as she does. I just wish people could be nice. I can remember my 2nd grade teacher telling us in an election year "We don't discuss politics and religion with people outside our families. It's just not done." We were 7 years old! But not too young to learn manners! I wonder if this woman actually reads what she is sending. Last year she sent me several diatribes that amounted to advocating genocide of a particular race of people that she feels get too much government benefits. The thing is, it's [i]her[/i] race. I mean, I'm a mutt from way back, but her parents were immigrants, and she loves them to death. Sees them every holiday, etc. What the heck? All I can say is that I'm glad we have TiVo. I can zip right through those political ads! [/QUOTE]
