I heart the blacklist function on my e-mail account. Because today, I am not as big-hearted as Patti LaBelle. And I'm OK with that right now.


(I kinda miss killfiles, though.)

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?

Another good reason to miss killfiles...they had better terminology, too.

I hear you.

This person is just a pest, not a threat. Bad social skills plus perserverance.

Isn't it just great when someone replies a week later? *g*

I remember being very perturbed to learn that many cultures had the black/white=bad/good thing going on way before European colonization came along. Yes, even African cultures. I had to wrap my head around that one.

(And then, yes, those ideas got attached to skin color, and all the complications got much simplified by our simple-minded language. *sigh*)
