StopSylvia: new hate mail

[Silly Green Monkey]

Apparently it was worth her time to write, what, three emails?

 

[Worm]

In a way, she's right.

Criticising StopSylvia for being inaccurate IS a waste of time. Criticising Sylvia Browne for being inaccurate, however, is not.

I can't read stuff like that. It really shoots my blood pressure through the roof. "How your website is misleading..." Does she know Sylvia Browne well personally? Has she studied Browne's trance material closely enough to spot all the ridiculous inconsistencies? Does she know the first thing about it???

Get up, ExM. Take a deep breath.

I replied to her explaining what Associated Content apparently is.

She replied asking me to not reply again, as she had no more time for all this.

How wonderful. She apparently had plenty of time to go off on an ignorant rant and insult you, but doesn't have time to listen to you address her accusations.

She opened this can, and now doesn't want to deal with the worms that she let loose.

 

[pgwenthold]

Ok, you only talked about one sentence in my entire rant.

"I figured you didn't have time to read a refutation of everything you said, so I focused on one thing you said that seemed to be a legitimate statement and not just an insult."

Human nature. An oblique way of dealing with the fear of the unknown is to create fantasies, belief in which cause the unknown to become the known, and then use them to support denial of the fear of the unknown. As far as I know, we all do it to some extent in one way or another.

"I figured you didn't have time to read a refutation of everything you said, so I focused on one thing you said that seemed to be a legitimate statement and not just an insult."

Yes. And actually, I had sent her a lengthy email responding to each of her points, which ended with "I will now Google "Associated Content to see what it is, as I have never heard of it." Which I soon followed up with the email about Associated Content which I quoted above.

From her reply to THAT, in which she complained that I had only responded to the one statement, I wonder if she ever received the first reply. I would resend it, but she asked me not to reply to that last email.

Frustrating.

Send it, I think - with "Did you receive this first of my 2 emails? It was unclear to me based on your response. No need to respond. Best, RSL" or something similar.

In case she didn't receive it. Seems a shame to waste such a thoughtful reply.

 

[RSLancastr]

ExM, I replied to your post via PM - thanks!

Yeah, and it is always fun to humiliate her, too.

Naaah. As a rule, humiliating people isn't fun.

Getting them to see reason - that's fun.

Or satisfying, anyway.
