Anybody know browngirl?

If so, please tel her that it's incredibly rude to send emails to people making false accusations and then have your settings set such that they can't reply.

Here's the email in question:

But I think you should go see _12 Years a Slave_. I know you don't like Black people (I still remember how you laid the blame for Proposition 8's passing on the fact that we can vote) but the movie might induce in your a little more sympathy for us. Or, not.

She accuses me of not liking black people. And of blaming Prop 8 on the fact that black people can note. And then expects this to convince me to see a movie. (as if I can afford movies. Haven't been to one in years)

So you counter rudeness with further rudeness by posting private email in public to shame someone?

Good to know.

Given that the email was both spam *and* an attempt to shame *me* with things that aren't true *and* that replies were blocked, I figure a line had been crossed.

Doesn't sound like a human at all. Sounds like a spambot. I sometimes get ones telling me someone is saying bad things about me on Twitter, and it's just a spambot seeking to spread a virus.

I amend my statement. The account is someone I know but from what I know it sounds like a spambot sent that message in her name.

[kengr]

In that case it has access to send it from her account. Because it *was* sent from her LJ account.

Odd. I was able to send her a private message without a problem and we're not even on each other's friendslists that I know of. I just see her hanging around ysabetwordsmith's account betimes.

Or somewhere, anyway.

Um, actually, you did. Specifically you said something about Black people being more likely to be gay-hating fundamentalist Christians.

Specifically you said something about Black people being more likely to be gay-hating fundamentalist Christians.

That's a *long* ways from "don't like blacks" and "because blacks can vote" (which implies that I think they shouldn't be able to)

[kengr]

I made the mistake of relying on info that turned out to not be true. For which I am sorry.

[gingicat]

If you would like to write me the apology that you should send to my dearest friend, I will make sure it gets to her.
