I'm trying to decide how rude I've just been. nossy Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 04:37:13 PM
How do you feel about politically fictional emails? And the people who read them and forward them w/o bothering to check facts?

I just snopesed someone, and reply alled to the twenty people he had on the list with me. It always makes me feel extremely snobby, but seriously, we don't need ignorance traveling at light speed.

Do you simply delete?

Delete and block the sender?

Make some witty retort?

Snopes them?

Other options?
