From my email bin…
I delete it. I used to reply to it, and sometimes if it’s not hate mail, but just someone being phenomenally stupid, I might still reply. But lately I’ve taken to turfing the email as soon as I catch on that it’s hate, and tossing the sender onto my blacklist.

Hater’s gonna hate.
