Well, socially, I just found out that a person I haven't seen in a while just blocked me from sending her email. I was livid. I am a very honest person and when I say here I did nothing-I mean it. I emailed her to ask her how she was and how the complex was doing (I moved out in March 2002) I was shocked as s h i t when I read:
"THIS USER IS NOT ACCEPTING EMAIL FROM YOU"
I am so sick of being nice and then have this happen to me. and no, I'm not a needy person-just an independent, sensitive, caring, empathetic one. (Those are my good qualities) Wanna know my bad?
lol Anyway, please any feedback would help. How would any of you feel if this happened to you?
really.....
All the best, kristen:-)

*sigh* that's the thing, my dad did it too. Am I such a horrible person- I mean really? My email is a okay, and I have no idea why she did it. I emailed her back and asked. She was a social worker where I used to live, We had several nice talks and she was very pleasant-we got along great. My mom said the same thing:"bizarre"
*sigh* man, I must be doing something wrong!
Thanks for your reply

Get a second e-mail address for free by yahoo. Send your original mail. Act like you changed your e-mail address without knowing your other address was bounced. Speak exactly the were you were speaking when you wrote the first letter. Don't add anything.
Then send it, and see what happens.

LOL -well......... I sent her another email from another account;) and it went through. But I added some things and told her it was rude. After my first email, it was so obvious because it said "this user is not accepting email from you". Dang, I wish I would have taked to you before I sent her another one, I was angry and let her have it-oops. I told her I was wondering why she was so cowardly as to not even try to talk to me. But it really isn't worth my time, if she blocked me anyway-I guess I'm a day late dollar short. Why are people like this sometimes?
How rude!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Thanks for some great advice, I'll remember it for another time (which I hope doesn't happen) *sigh*

Hi Krissy.
That happened to me once, I didn't get angry though, I was devastated. I thought it must be a mistake, because I didn't have any warning either.
The conversations were very friendly and not one sided right up until it happened.
thinking it was a mistake, I sent a letter from another e-mail, and then they freaked and thought
I was harassing them.I think sometimes what it is, is that if we've been open about our depression, or whatever our
"diagnosis" is, people put more pressure on themselves, than we do on them. What I mean is,
they think
"Oh I better get back to her right away or she's going to get all upset"
And before you know it, you're innocent friendly
"hello's" are interpreted as nagging obligations, even though the content of the e-mails is no needier than anyone elses. I think some people's self
made guilt, can suddenly make them angry and leave your head spinning thinking "What on earth did I do?"Thats my spin anyway.
I hope it helps.

Yep it is lame-but I'm over it :0)!!!!!!
I'm used to it and I thank the Lord that I have finally realized that it's my dad's loss. The pain of his verbal and emotional abuse is not worse than having him in my life and him continuing this abuse. Man, I'm 32. A therapist once told me this back in 1996:"Sometimes you have to cut off the ones you love-(even if they are family)-to save your own sanity" I never really did, I was there for him ALWAYS, as well as a lot of other people-Guess he forgot that-his mind is so warped after many years of drug and alcohol abuse. I know he's human-but I do not and will not put up with him anymore. I guess It's about time.Kristen
