84. A work of art! Keep us posted if you get any further "responses" from this world-class
"paragon".

I found that when I answered back on some of these fuckstick emails, it stopped many of them from coming. Many (not all but many) of the senders of these things do not want to be challenged or forced to see the light (that is, anything other than their own little narrow illogical "viewpoint"). Too much trouble. And they don't want their cages rattled. They would rather cling to the irrational "I know what I know" blather that usually bubbles to the surface when they don't have anything else cogent to say or a worthwhile/fact-based rebuttal to offer.

GREAT one! Thanks!

Oh yeah - one other thing: sometimes you actually wind up giving reinforcement to somebody else on the email chain who also doesn't agree and doesn't appreciate getting these things, but hasn't yet decided to activate and fight back. I got a few from people who usually started with some version of "...usually I just ignore (or delete) these" and/or "thanks for this - wish I'd said so myself".

We HAVE to fight back, head-on, against this shit. It only prevails because few people actually stand up and get loud and aggressive in their objection to it, and force it to stop.

Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.
