We all love and know that one person who just keeps forwarding you those email message that clog up your email. youi know what i mean. You open your email and there it is you better forward this message to at least 7 people you know by 4:15 a.m. to get blessed. Or if you are my friend you will send this back to me and 234,989 other people. How do you gently tell that person that you just don't have the time to answer, open, read or just can't stand the emotional blackmail Christian pressure these message give you anymore becuase you are a newlywed, in colletge and working, new mom, tired, working, new boyfriend, just cant stand them anymore, etc....... thanks for any and all input :^ 0

Ah...I can relate entirely.



I honestly had to tell them to tone it down...or stop completely. I told them it was too hard to keep up with and I didn't have much time to spare, read, re-fill, and send back. They could keep sending it to me (deleting it right when I saw it...hehe.) but I wouldn't be able to send them back or anything.



Go-o-o-o-d luck!

I would just say "Hey I very superstitious and I don't have time to resend those emails because of all the junk mail I get. So could you please not send me so many?" That way you give him/her a reason instead of making them feel bad

For me, I would just open, read and delete it. If she confront or ask me the reason for not sending it back, then I would tell her that I have been too busy and apologies.

But i simply told my friends this, " please dont send me any forwards cause i dont read them. If you can, write me even if its a one line sentence to say hello. This i will read."
