Oh, I think they are so very wrong! That said, I haven't gotten one in quite some time now. One time my father's wife gave her granddaughter (nobody to me) my email address and she started sending me that kind of qrap and more.

Ever since I politely asked her to please stop sending me those things I ended up on the chit list of the father's wife (nasty woman, that one). Knowing her as I do, I'm pretty sure she did it just to be mean because I don't even know this girl so why would she give her my email address (rhetorical).

Hi, chickenbutt! I think they're wrong, too. The attempt to shame a person if they don't share, or to tell them evil things will happen if they don't pass it forward, is a real turnoff.

Never. Delete them.

Yeah, I remember the shaming of it. The people who really thought they were going to get rich would lay it on kind of thick to try and shame everybody into sending these wretched things out to everybody they knew. I just could never do it to people because I didn't like having it done to me.

The one religious one I mentioned in a subsequent post was extremely unusual and had a disturbing element about it that took it way too far over the line.

It's uncalled for. I see the shaming in the Facebook shares all the time. What some people don't realize is that many of those "share-me" posts are nothing but "like-farming" hoaxes.

[issiestorm]

Absolutely not.

[WeiRDgeRL]

Nope!

[jeanlake]

I seldom get these now, as I never passed on the emails. The ones about prayers getting answered if I pass on to ten people? Weirdly emotionally manipulative.

[sylviahomeatlast]

I haven't received a chain letter in decades.

[MaRina]

No!!!!!!!

I received one years ago and tossed it to the rubbish can.

RRR, I think most of them are sent via email these days...
