Sent.

Hi there,

Since you’ve been inquiring around about whether or not I am blocking you, I thought I’d let you know that I am blocking you, and that I am not angry.  The reason why I say I am not angry is because that would mean that there’s something you could apologize for.

I’ll give you the courtesy of telling you the reason in hopes that perhaps you learn from it: you are rudely boastful and over-exaggerate to the point of lying.

I hope you consider it a favour that I’m telling you this.  Perhaps you’ll reconsider a lot of things that you want to say before you do.  It isn’t appreciated by anyone.  I don’t have the energy and do not make the time to deal with that, but I thought I’d just write this email out of courtesy.

Carolyn
