I stood up to some Freepers...and lived to accept an apology

[Mira]

Day before yesterday I told in a post here about an email I was copied on from a person who gives me a lot of business.
In it was the phrase
"I Nigger Al"
for "inauguration"
(the email itself was the big interactive photo from the Capitol)

I posted the original as well as my response "to all", and a number of you praised me for what I said and commiserated about the insult.

I just now got a call from the person responsible for forwarding it, saying he was sorry he did not notice it had not been "cleaned up."
I said I'm glad he used those words, because it indicated that deep down he knew this was dirty.
That all who thought it was funny or OK need to look at themselves and question how they could on one side send and believe it is Christian to be such bigots, and on the other hand send Christian messages about Christian principles.

WOW

1. It continues to be good policy not to let that kind of crap "ride".

Calling him on it, in front of all the forwards, was absolutely the right thing to do.

3. Agreed. But I would have also replied to everyone ALL THE WAY DOWN to the bottom of the chain email.

As well as Postmaster, Webmaster, CEO, President, etc. of any corporate addresses of people in the "From" lines.

5. Apology from freepers?

I think that a black man would be elected President before any freepers would apologize for being freeperish. :P

Well done, don't let freeper BS go by, call them out and refuse to let them dodge and dance.

8. Remember : WE WON ! I have long been furious, even

before it was official that we had become the Majority, that we cowtowed and allowed them to try to tear us down.
It's enough already.

9. I agree

I've found that freepers don't bother with facts, esp. facts that they don't like. :crazy:

I hated watching freepers running rampant. The inmates ran the asylum. :grr: It's time for the inmates to be put back into their cells and sanity to return. :patriot:
