Dishonourable e-mail responses?
Why are participants allowed to send e-mails to others while blocking replies???? Sounds cowardly to me!

I haven't been here long but I understood that if someone blocks mail, it's a two-way street that prevents them from either sending or receiving messages. Maybe that changed that rule or something but, yes, I agree with you that people should not be able to send emails without being able to get replies.
I'll check with the friend that told me that if I opted to get no mail then I could send no mail. She was receiving mail and then changed her option to "no mail" because some nutcase was emailing her but I'm sure that she said that when she did that, when she opted for receiving no mail, then she lost the ability to send email. I guess you could opt to receive mail, send your mail and then quickly change the option because, after all, your mail has gone out. Below cowardly, that would be craven and contemptible.

Well, they have to go somewhere to feel high and mighty. Instead of fighting in the real world, they come here and hide behind the internet where nobody can see their face, and send flaming messages to people and then block them because they are too cowardly to face the repercussions.
