Bill has questioned the "adultness" of blocking someone from sending you
e-mail if "they haven't bothered you." Well, no one would dare to question
my status of being an adult, and yet I did not hesitate to block this seeker
of inappropriate relationships. What does "being adult" have to do with not
wanted to be pestered/molested by someone? Am I less than an adult for
swatting at a mosquito? For telling a leering drunk to bug off? Anyone, of
any age, is entitled to freedom from being bothered. When someone I don't
know signs their e-mail "Love, ____", and suggests that we establish a
relationship, THAT, my friend, is "bothering". Even more, it could
constitute a threat to one's personal safety. And no one has to put up with
that, at any age.

Blocking always is fun but it isn't very adult. I don't think his screen
name should be more public than you can figure out by looking at messages.
No jury has brought in a verdict.
If he has not bothered you, then why block him? If somebody bothers you,
then block -- whether that person is from GML or not.
If you have further questions, feel free to email me privately as I assist
Ann-Marie.
