Why is it that me and my website always seems to attract, shall we say, unstable people? Whether it’s the chatroom, a message board or just their bizarre attachment to characters that aren’t real, it somehow all gets directed towards me. Actually a better way of saying it is that these people become fixated with me. What’s worse is somehow they manage to work me up and get me upset, and they are the ones who aren’t 100% there! Is it rude to email someone and tell them you think they have severe psychological and or anger management issues and should seek help? I’m not a doctor and can’t make that diagnosis, then again you should see some of the things these people say. Maybe it’s better to just add them to the blocked email list, which seems to be growing these days.

I used to get all worked up over that sort of thing and engage in pointless arguing. Now I can’t be bothered; they’re just not worth my time or energy.
There are alot of people out there with mental problems, or just down right nasty…but that is THEIR problem, not yours. I wouldn’t bother with the time it would take to write them. They won’t get it anyway. You are honest, caring and trustworthy…all of which makes what others say hurtful…that is the part that is hard to stop…don’t lower yourself to their level…they are really not worth it. You are. Thanks for so much for all that you do that gives all of us so much pleasure…like your Day’s page….
Sounds like you’ve been the victim of some obnoxious online drama. Sorry to hear about that!
I agree that if unstable people are writing you with pointless complaints, the best thing to do is ignore them. Replying in any way often will just inspire them to harass you more.
Of course, if what they are doing is really scaring you, you always could seek a restraining order. But if it’s just standard flaming from people with too many issues and/or too much time on their hands, then don’t give them the satisfaction of investing so much in what they have to say.
I would love to see an (anonymous, of course) all-time craziest quotes section!!! I bet you have had some wild ones!
I have thought about making a crazy email page! I have recieved photos from readers too lol!
