Is it to late to ban stupid people from the Internet?
< reminisces >
Back in t' day , I remember when the only people who could use the internet and email were those who knew how to use computers. Naturally at the time those who knew how to use a computer had a clue and generally had a certainly level of intellect, as at the time others couldn't even use a mouse let alone create an email.
< /reminisces >
I'm saying this now as some silly woman has inadvertantly put my personal email address into her addressbook.
No biggy you think, easy mistake to make. So sent an email explaining as such. Got a reply with her thinking her "freind" was joking. As such innane emails continued included forwarding of every ten year old chain mail and girly tripe that litters the internet, despite repeat requests to be stop sending me shyte.
OK, stick her on the block list. Peace? Nope. What happens? She only forwards my address on to her other freinds. So now I have a barrage of ditsy women (some working for the civil sector judging by their addresses ) sending me junk and innane women chatter. And now she had a new email address so I'm getting it from her again too
So I attempt to inform all these stupid women that I am not Alison Bens (whoever she is...note ALi-B, you can see how that may get mixed up...or maybe not
). They STILL think I'm joking. Arrggh 
:
So now I'm reporting their emails to the relevent hosts in hope that maybe somone might just do something.
I know its minor, but for gods sake, short of mail-bombing their accounts or disabling my email account. I'm stuck on how to "politely" solve it.
I think the next trick might be to repeatedly send pics of my hairy ******* in hope that they "may" get the message (slightly iffy seeing some are government email addresses).
Any ideas?

Haven't you got any text-talkers to RTM? 
I do quite well considering I "was" dislexic (lazy speller's diseaeasease) never proof or re-read my posts.
(despite the load of edits where I add afterthoughts....like this one
)

In my day watching individual characters appear on the screen from some obscure BBS was all part of the fun....
Now a HD res image appears in milliseconds.
Progress ? If you like **** maybe....

P.S. Send a reply mentioning bombings and extremist views and your problems are sorted....

My wife gives MY email out as her own despite me creating her an inbox, so now all the crap shopping sites she is registered on spam me, her mate sends at least five emails a day, usually about how stupid and useless men are or some soppy friends type chain email, I politely told her to send it to my wifes address and she still sends it to me.
