I don't think it was rude. Kel Send a noteboard - 24/09/2010 03:43:38 AM
But I agree with Sareitha, the people that typically send way-out-there politically skewed emails are likely to be what I call "true believers", and probably wouldn't handle any criticism of their particular view.

For too many people, truth (like beauty) really is in the eye of the beholder.. and there are some really crazy people in the world.
