I get these emails from a young relative that are full of hate and right-wing venom. Although it is really good and makes me feel wonderful to see and hear the right-wingers angry and spiteful (finally, they are on the outside - very far outside - and looking in!), I don't particularly care to read their racist stuff.

My relative sends the worst of it.

So, since my blocker panel is so full of words that send the emails straight to oblivion without even appearing on my screen, I decided that it would be better to send her a message.

So what I do now is this: when I get one of those hate mails, or anything from anyone that is full of hate, I "Bounce" it.

Here's what happens when you "Bounce" an email... it goes back to the sender with the note that it cannot be delivered.

That is so simple. You "Bounce" emails by selecting it, then going up to your menu bar and finding the word "Bounce." For Mac users, it is in the "Message" column up on the Menu bar. Diddle that and the email will be returned to the sender.

For a while I had a pre-written email that I used to reply to awful email senders. But it was not enough. This way, the sender knows that I refused the mail.

Return to sender! Great tactic.
