About 3 weeks ago I managed to contact an old friend in Illinois via email, and we started corresponding, kinda catching up on each other’s lives. Wednesday, this old friend wished me a Happy Birthday.
Then this morning this old friend managed to sever the tie by accusing me of hacking into her PC, and sent me an e-mail which was essentially a temper tantrum. This, from a 48 (or is it 49?)-year old lady with two grown kids in their 20s, and an ex who gives her problems:

i got the ip address and it is comin for a mac pc the same u said u had, please i beg u stop hackin into my pc or else u will get hell i mean it, i can pull bs too, be nice and leave me the f**k alone, and u were my friend what a load of bs, i got all your pc information, if u want to f**k lets f**k, tired of being nice to a**holes on here

Excuse me, madam...I refuse to stoop to your level of discourse. And I certainly don’t stoop to what you purported to have happened to your PC.
So I blocked her e-mails from reaching me, they are simply deleted and I never see them. How little she knows of me now. This is what time can do to people. And I will just walk away. I don’t need this kind of s**t from anyone.
