Yep, I've done the same thing!

For some unknown reason, I am now no longer on the distribution list for this kind of wacky stuff...from a few of the more extreme members of my golf groups (and even a couple of relatives).

Go figure. :D

As for the OP, while blocking the sender is probably the only thing that will ultimately work, I still think your husband has the right idea and that is to tell the person in no uncertain terms...that the garbage he sends is unacceptable to y'all.

Once again...good luck. :thumbup:

I would handle it this way:

I would make a cake or pie or something and deliver it to him with a note. The note would congratulate him (if his candidate won) or console him (if his candidate lost). Explain that you thought the joke (as you called) was funny but now it is over and you'd like the emails to stop.

This approach gives him a face saving way to remain a good neighbor.

It depends. If he has voted both ways in his life and ended up voting the way I did this time, change your mind and agree with him.

If he somehow got brainwashed in college and cried and ranted and spit and yelled and had fits and bad spells after this election, and ran off with a puppy, there is very little hope.

Move. chilout

I would not confront him in any way on this. I would quietly block him or send his messages to spam or just delete them. You do not want to poke a hornet's nest. Sounds like a nut job.

Exactly my thoughts.

I blocked him, so far so good. My other half really, really, really wants to poke this hornet's nest and I am trying to calm him down. Oh, such is life in the fast lane.

My thanks to all you good people for your great replies. TOTV is still alive and kicking.:smiley:

I also agree with this.

Keep your husband at bay. :)

Keeping my husband at bay is like trying to get the elephant out of the room!:smiley:

Just curious, Madelaine... do you and your husband share the same email address? I and mine can't even share a computer! (We have to get two rec magazines...) I would get my own email address and don't let hubby have the login information!:wave:

While I can certainly empathize with your desire to just let it go and be done with the jerk, I still agree more with your husband.

If no one tells this bully straight up that his behavior is unacceptable and that he better change or there will be consequences (legal of course), the azzhole will simply go to his next victim...without ever being called on his stalking.

The old saying that "all it takes for jerks/evil to succeed, is for no one to take a stand"...comes to mind here for me.

Regardless of my personal opinion however, you are the one that has to feel comfortable...and hopefully you can now put this ugly chapter behind you. :thumbup:

Couldn'the disagree more (as usual). Just ignore (block) and move on.
