I hear you about how it's nice to block someone. What has been driving me crazy lately...okay one of the things that has been driving me crazy lately is how our language can have subtle racism enmeshed in it. (let me say now I am not calling you racist,k?) I have been in meetings this last month at work where we talk about sending emails to clients and not wanting to get "blacklisted" by ISP's and how important it is to stay "whitelisted" Like I said it drives me crazy cause this is language that has been adopted by the industries we work in. Thats the lingo...and it sucks IMHO. Again this is not directed at you but more as a overall issue that I think needs attention.
Stepping off soap box.
And now if you need someone big and scary to go after the creep thats bothering you you hit me up okay?
