Word of advice, take me off your list. If you dont know who I am, ask your bass player. He'll fill you in. Dont send me another email either from your "webmaster service" or on myspace. Got it...Good!

You joined our list, we didn't just add you. If you want off, there's an UNSUBSCRIBE link in EVERY EMAIL THAT GOES OUT. Look at the bottom, it looks like this:
http://citizenjayne.com/mailer/unsubscribe.php
Click it... it really works... that is, if you know your own email address, and it's so easy a 10 year old could figure it out. But just in case YOU can't figure it out, I'll save the trouble and do it for you. Freakin' doctors... *sigh*
BTW, if you don't want any messages or bulletins from us on MySpace, YOU... that's right YOU have to delete US as a friend. Because I sure don't have time to sort through 1000+ friends to find you and delete you. If you have a problem with that, contact Tom. I'm sure he'll give a damn like I do.
Kindest fucking regards,
Curt Granger

And it get's even better! The Doc's reply:As I expected and do kindly appreciate the removal. You do realize that since there was an incident with a young girl a few years ago where she committed suicide because of hateful remarks sent over the internet that it could certainly be interpreted as "hate mail" and punishable by law to curse or degrade anyone via email correspondence. So as expected I will save this email and forward it on to my attorney with highlights on remarks that could be considered as hate mail, libel and defamatory to my profession and my practice. As I made no hostile remarks in my email request of removal from your list(s) your response was not prevoked. Once again any further correspondence to me will be thought of as an intent to irritate and/or intimidate. So as I realize that you do have many fans that adore you and your band mates and as such leaves you little time to manage your friend list, you did have time to repond to my request personally where you could have simply taken me off your list. Another example of an attempt at intimidation and inflammation. As a note of clarity, you were added to my friend list when your bass player requested that I add his band in the attempt to help find gigs for him and increase your popularity when he was still married to my sister. So again, the initial request was from one of your band members and I did not search you out. I also do not spend time on myspace anymore as my business does not afford me the luxury and time to spend looking for your page and my I.T. person does not manage my personal affairs. So I will wrap this up with this...do not contact me and do not misunderstand my intentions. Separation and cleavage from any association with you ( Mr Granger) and your bandmates is what I want so please make sure that you convey this message - as any communication from you or anyone associated with your band or your person will be considered an attempt at intimidation / inflammation under organizational accountability statutes. Thank you for personally responding to my request.Dr Ed SinclairSent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Ah, the mean-spirited ex-brother-in-law! I figured as much. OK, do what you'd like Doc, you sent the first "intimidating" email, completely without warrant, because as I originally stated YOU joined our list. It's DOUBLE OPT-IN. If you don't understand what that means then it's not libel when I imply you don't have sense enough to remove yourself from our list by using the unsubscribe function, it's the TRUTH. I had nothing to do with you subscribing to our newsletter, yet you try to intimidate me by using a phrase such as "Got it? Good!" and a condescending tone in your original email. You drew the proverbial "first blood" and now YOU'RE THE ONE threatening me with legalese bullshit? It figures. Hey, do me a favor... Take it up with the bass player!
By the way, my reply was an attempt to EDUCATE, albeit in a slightly sarcastic manner (which you mistook for "hate," being that doctors usually don't live in the real world), as well as to express my disdain for pompous doctors who think the whole world should bend over backwards to accommodate them. If you're going to use the internet and email, do us all a favor - learn how it works.
p.s. If you want anything conveyed to my bandmates, you can do it yourself. I don't work for you, I don't know you, and I'll be damned if I'm going to do anything else for you.
