Well, technically not my first, but the first one related to my blog from a total stranger.
Feast your eyes on this CENSORED email.
Well Hello there and nice evening. |
1) Spelling, paragraphing, apostrophes and capitalization are a few things that flag to me a person with a need for a remedial fifth grade education.
2) I haven't had that website for almost a year now.
3) I haven't been a little girl for a few decades now.
4) There is no possible way someone would read her blog and mistake it for mine.
I responded:
Hi Liz,I didn't know about your website until months after I shut mine down. I had to change it because of some crazy trolls, and I don't use the term The Lizness anymore. I have not since July of last year. My new blog has nothing to do with the old website. I googled the lizness late last summer to see if my blog would come up, since I changed the settings to not be searchable, and found your blog. Maybe I should have emailed you then? but from reading your blog I knew that no one who read each of our blogs would mistake your blog for mine, or vice versa.I'm sorry you're upset about it, but you are about 2 1/2 years too late.Regards,Mrs Lemon
What do you think? Would you have responded? Using words that are acceptable on this blog, what would you have said?
Peaceee
Peaceee

Dear Sir/Madam,
You fail at life/blogging. Please go die/be smitten with bubonic plague, you troll/ amoebic-dysentery-carrying twat.
Warm regards.
Um, wow. Considering there are billions of people on this planet and that a certain percentage on this planet are named Liz or some form of Liz...seems kinda nuts for them to think they get to corner the market on The Lizness.
Um.
1. Are you kidding me?
2. You are a much bigger person than I am for not only responding, but doing it so very nicely.
3. Are you kidding me?
Seriously.
I think that your response was very appropriate.
You were very pleasant. It's nice to know that my daughter isn't an uncivilized savage. If she hassles you again, bust her chops.
I'm with Karen - Are you kidding me?
Just the first sentence, I was thinking, "Wait a minute! Mrs. Lemon gave up the Lizness a loooong time ago."
Wow. I very much like that you said, "You are about 2 1/2 years too late." He, he, he.
And then I just have to wonder - if she is sooooo busy and famous being THE Lizness, how does she possibly find time to come up with so much ridiculousness? Awesome.
Mrs. Lemon..
I think everything you said was very Kind, considerate, and well thought out.
and well.. HELLO... Does she own the rights to being the ONLY person with the name Liz in the whole entire world.. ME thinks Not.. come on lady she needs to get a grip. Obviously she doesn't have much of a life.. If she is sending you hate mail a year + to late..
Love you girl,
Jodi
Wow, um yeah. Is "THE Lizness" actually a grown women?! I give you props for the polite response. I don't think I could have shown such restraint. However, if I ever need to tell someone off... I'm hiring The Muffin.
Thank you for that. I'm here until Thursday. =)
I commend you for you your response and I hope you did send it. I would certainly not be as diplomatic as you are. I would come out with both barrels blazing. My response would probably include something about copyright law and her gross inability to communicate in a way that civilized people can understand. I would crown her the queen of Lizness in whatever underground world she came from and ask her to stay there rather than surface in the world that I live in again.
You handled it far better than I would have.
What a classy response! Seriously. I'm totally late to the blog, but STILL. Good response. Much kinder than I would have been.
Reminds me of how Paris Hilton wanted to own, "That's hot".
Whuuuuu?
