I’m a forum kinda person. I try to give my honest opinion about things. Imagine my dismay when you send me a private e-mail telling me that ‘I don’t really understand you’ and to ‘shut up’. Right. I don’t fucking want to do either. To me, the unwritten rules of a discussion forum include stating an opinon ON THE FUCKING FORUM. I don’t want to hear your whining in my Inbox. I don’t expect your fucking diatribes in my e-mail. You have no right to tell me to shut up. I will when I feel like it, asshole.
So FUCK OFF, dumb loser e-mail sender. I’m being nice by not exposing your fucking e-mail address, right? Blocking you will be a pleasure.
Besides sending me hate e-mail, be sure to forward all your spam to me, and those wonderful survey e-mails, and sign me up for all kinds of spam newsletters too. Thanks!!!
Abusive emails were the reason that I stopped sharing my main address here.
The moderators/administrators are your allies on this and they will treat seriously (or at least they have done so in my experience) any cases of abusive behaviour that begin on-board and continue privately; forward one of them a copy of any problematic messages.
Shit, Sending stuff to your e-mail addess is kinda rude. I gotta admit though, I’m impressed that you generated that kind of response. I’m certainly going to pay closer attention to your posts in the future. (of course you may just have been unlucky enough to have touched a nerve with a moron or 2)
Half the fun of having an email addy is seeing who I have pissed off this time!
shrug Most of the boards I frequent sending the “shut up” email instead of posting to the forum is considered good manners.
The other emails I have gotten from Dopers have been nice, complimentary ones or information I had inquired about but wasnt really germane to the topic at hand.
I only got a ‘mean’ email once. I have gotten lots of ‘nice’ email from dopers. However only members should be able to email you.
Just copy and past the email in the thread in question.
I think I’ve gotten about 3 emails from members since I joined. All have been questions that were either OT or would not interest the rest of the SDMB.
Did develop a friendship with one member that way.
No big deal.
Don’t like it, then don’t respond, but don’t Pit him/her!
:dubious:
I’ve gotten a very modest amount of emails from Dopers over the years. All of it has been complimentary words or politely asking a question, not a single piece of hate mail. Yes, I am jealous.
It would be cool if you could link to the post that prompted the mail and cut and paste the email (with out the sender’s name) for out amusement.
