It's easy to become blinded by all of the good things a person has to offer so that we neglect to see the deal breakers.
A positive thing about the board is that it helps us look past the good parts of a relationship when there are some dark and dangerous aspects to it.
I agree that it was a good lesson for you. I am glad that you have the opportunity to discus it here. Just do not buy into all of the woman hating. This one was just a bad apple.
As a reader, I'm disappointed that you still love her but I'm glad that you follow up with "she's not my type." This girl falls into one of the following categories: she's young, she's short on the intelligence, or she is an emotional volcano who behaves impulsively and has the potential to get her man into a lot of trouble.
penkitten's response is 100% believable regarding this girl's intentions for sending you the email. Real women who are tough enough to deal with their emotions will not send these retaliatory letters. I take that back. Even some of the most labile, obnoxious psycho freaks out there will have the decency to refrain from behaving this way. I read her email and I think that she's a confused little girl. If you're interested in her friends, I hope they have more going on inside their heads that she has.
This was fun. I think you did the right thing blocking her.
