I just got this email from the owner of my local moms Yahoo group:
"I hate to tell you this but you are the judgemental one. It is all over the news about people telling others not to say Merry Christmas. Even the president denied the true holiday spirit this year in his christmas card. Schools all over are doing the same thing. You have been banned from the group."
For quite some time, she has been sending chain mail not through the group, but to the private addresses of many of her members, myself included. MUCH of it is the RW lies that we here are all to familiar with, the rest of it is stuff like the infamous Nieman Marcus cookie, "Forward this to 20 people and you will get a gift certificate", that kind of shit.
I emailed her this weekend VERY POLITELY asking her not to send me any more chain emails. I explained that that isn't something that I wish to receive and I was as diplomatic as possible about it, knowing that I was dealing with an apparent RW nutjob. I emailed her after a batch of 7 chain mails, one of which included another rant about the "War on Christmas", but I did not mention ANY specific message- I just referred to "chain emails". I was as polite and nonspecific as possible, lol.
Additionally, as far as I know, she had no way of knowing my politics, as the Yahoo group was basically politics- free.
I also didn't call her judgmental, so I have NO Idea where the "you are the judmental one" came from. Anyway, so now I no longer have access to a Yahoo group I REALLY liked because I emailed the owner something privately that she apparently didn't like. Nice. Maybe I'll start my own.
This is going to further affirm how judgmental I am (eye roll), but I have to say it: If a RWer had politely asked a Liberal to stop sending them chain mail, I doubt it would have gotten them banned from a Yahoo group owned by that person. This just further advances the thinking I've had of late, which is that RWers are psychos.
As tempted as I am to respond to this, I'm not going to. I figure venting here would be much more constructive since RWers cannot be reasoned with anyway.
