Default Getting a right ear full because of an email!

Got sent a chain mail about bonsai kittens, which i know to be total bollocks, so i replied to EVERYONE in the email with:

THIS IS TOTAL BOLLOCKS, CHECK HERE http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/bonsai.asp

ITS A LOAD OF CRAP, AND IS NOT TRUE, JUST A JOKE SITE.

P.S DON'T SEND ME THIS SHIT!
So this morning i sign into Messenger and i got a friend of mine having a right go at me saying 'I'm really mad at you for sending that reply to the e-mail, my 10 year old sister read that and my dad's not happy with you'

lmao I really aint in the mood for shit like this, so i just said that 10 year olds shouldn't be looking at bonsai kittens crammed in a jar, and they should be supervised on the internet and emails should be filtered'

Thats another friend i've lost Takes the piss, people take the internet far too seriously, like its real life or something

I remember seeing that Bonsai Kittens site years and years ago. Fcuking class! LOL! Had all the girls bleating on about it at the time.

I often get sent 'WARNING' e-mails about the latest virus, latest con, free cash, chain mails etc... and i used to reply telling ppl its bollocks but now I just can't be bothered. let them get on with it.

Yeah i know!


My friend Derry replied to all after i said a few little swear words with this:

I'd like to apologise to all who recieved this mail from Spencer - he is a
very angry young man and means no bad language particularly to the younger
readers of this mail!!

Oi, spence - you can't 'reply to all' when you don't the recipients - my
baby sister doesn't need to be readng language like that.
I'll have a word in your ear - next time i see you!


So i aint having none of that, so i sent this reply

Oh look, whoopsie, i replied to ALL again.

If you don't like my opinion, then don't send me this stuff. I think you should learn some Internet manners, firstly by NOT sending me spam, and secondly not by sending young 10 year old girls graphic pictures of kittens crammed in jars.

Its always the way with opinionated people, whats good for them is not good for all. Once you challenge their way of thinking they feel violated that anyone has had the audacity to question their views.

In future, if you don't want replies like this or the previous, then don't send me this stuff...simple as that. I would also like to take the time to stress the importance of email filtering if small children are using the internet, at least with my email it was a very loose use of a few commonly heard words, not graphic images of people having sex, with searing, and links to even more graphic material, which are all too common in the average inbox.

So before you start having a go at me, then take a look at who you send this rubbish to, and rather than be concerned about my language, i would put my 10 year old child as number one priority on the internet so that he/she does not see this sort of thing. You only have yourselves to blame I'm afraid.

Excellent, someone else who agrees. It just really pisses me off, people expect me to be a mind reader and go through every single email to check that everyone is at the right age to hear a few common swear words. Its not as if i used 'fu*ck, c*nt' or anything nearly as bad as that is it?

Grrrrr, really winds me up, people think there are rules on the internet, and they try to enforce their own at the same time. So for those who are a little confused about it.....

LEARN THE WAY OF THE INTERNET FFS! NO ONE OWNS IT, KIDS SHOULDN'T BE ON IT UNSUPERVISED, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY OPINIONS, DON'T SEND ME SPAM!!!!!!
