HELP ME RESPOND TO HATEFUL EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM A FREEPER

[powergirl]

I received a nasty little tome from some freep who was responding to a column that I wrote about the 1950's and "family values" which was published in the Dallas Morning News. I already submitted it to DU and the link is below. Can you help me respond to this idiot? His email address contains the term "durtysanchez" - nice family values moniker!

You’re a moron. Miss Jean Power. I’d figure you have to be volunteer, that’s
the only way any one would read your shit. Besides your fellow gloom and
DUomers.
I sent this link to the paper.

So they may also see your bias. And that you belong to the fanatical Left.
Hope they will let you stay volunteer. Tell your fellow DUomers there are a
faithful bunch out here that read your propaganda often. And follow any link
or poll and vote just to counter you. We have our own site with you in mind.
Of course I won’t give you the address. That’s part of the fun. You have to
find it yourself. Kicked and Kudos, get real. I suppose you know some of the
disrupters already, as I see deletions often. It’s a great country. Looking
forward to your exclusion from it.
:puke:

1. don't justify this crap with an answer

ignore him

[wryter2000]

12. I'm with you

That's my stock response, but doubly in this case. He didn't even give you any material to respond to other than "You suck."

[tk2kewl]

2. why respond, screw him

I think you should ask the paper to publish his response. BTW... I read your op-ed and liked it very much :thumbsup:

[KingFlorez]

3. Say this

"I'd call you a four-letter expletive, but the public library will revoke you computer privilages if they see it."

[Orrex]

4. I agree-he's an asshole and you should ignore him...

But if you do reply to him, tell him that "DUmmies" would have been more clever than "gloom and DUomers," which initially made me wonder what a "dyoo-oomer" is.

Honestly, if your debate opponent can't even come up with an entertaining insult, much less a cogent argument, what's the point of debating him?

The spirit of volunteerism is largely absent from The Right unless they can claim it as a tax write-off or unless they can convince themselves that it will buy them a place in heaven.

Ignore him.

11. "The spirit of volunteerism in the right is largely absent"

But what about "Freedom Corps"? :sarcasm:

Oh jeez just the sound of it!

:rofl:

5. Reply back with a fake form letter, like repug congressmen

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm about my column. As you know, I appreciate all correspondence to me, particularly ones that agree with my point of view. It's nice to know I am appreciated!

Sincerely,

(your name here)

[TalkingDog]

14. This one, I like! n/t

[KarenS]

16. Absolutely perfect!! n/t

[spuddonna]

24. That's awesome...

Good idea!

[Canuckistanian]

6. Can he dispute your facts? Can he question your veracity?

No? Then fuck him. Calling someone's work propaganda is one thing. Proving it is something else.

[thoughtanarchist]

7. It's only neccessary to respond when a point is made.

this moran is just spewing bile. Delete it and forget it, but by all means continue to submit columns to the DMN.

Your voice was heard by the entire readership. This idiocy from Mr durtysanchez reaches noone.

[jackster]

8. agreed, let him rant....

he's not worth it really and he's going to read all this I'm sure anyway, so just in case....

hey idiotfreeper - what a wonderful patriot you are - wanting to exclude those who disagree with you! You're the kind who doesn't deserve the freedoms our forefathers fought for, but we here don't deny you the right to exercise them no matter how big a fool you make of yourself!

Enjoy those rights while you can - they are being trampled daily and unless you do something about it, you are going to lose them. 'Course problem is, the rest of us are losing them too!

[LiberalVoice]

9. WTF is a "DUomer"?

I mean is it supposed too sound like "Doom" or "Doomer"? I mean really, is that the best those idiots got?

On Edit" Fuck a responce. The guy was so obviously too dumb to counter your points that he just resorted to name calling. Maybe you should ask him how many times he's gone through the 3rd grade. :shrug:

[SaveAmerica]

10. Why waste your time on a 13 year old? I'd let it go. Sounds like

someone without a lick of sense and too much time on his hands.

[Maccagirl]

13. I agree that you shouldn't personally respond

to this facist,but share his idiocy with one and all!

[drm604]

15. Ask him if he actually has any arguments against any of your points,

or is he only capable of ad hominems? (The big word will likely make his head explode.)
Thank him for dedicating a site to DU but tell him that you really couldn't be bothered to go searching for it.
Ask him if he really has a well developed political philosophy or if he simply enjoys attacking other people's freedoms from his super-duper triple-secret special website.
The real kicker would be if you could have the words "super-duper triple-secret special website" link to his website.

[Vinca]

22. If he's from the south he'll recognize ad hominems as the

gloppy stuff served with eggs in the morning!:rofl:

[BluGrl]

17. Not worth it.

They are just trying to get a rise and a response. Ignore them and it will drive them crazy!

[CrackpotAmerica]

18. The opposite of love is indifference.

There are ways of saying "you know what" to people without actually saying it...

I suggest you respond in this manner:

"Although your opinion is appreciated and noted, I stand by mine."

It works great!

To the freep, it sounds like this:

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

[kitkat65]

19. Let it go. This guy's not interested in intellectual discourse nor is he

capable of it.

[tsuki]

20. This guy is seriously unhinged. Do Not Reply.

[kiraboo]

21. Hey, I'd give him a big hug!

Thanks to him maybe a few people will visit us and see what it really means to be "far left".

[JNelson6563]

23. Don't dignify such nonsense

with a response.
