How do you deal with this garbage?

[Guest guest]

I just formed an animal rights group at my law school. To publicize our

first meeting, I used the accepted and common method of listserve e-mail,

sending a notice out to all students. All school groups do this (e.g.

Environmental Law Caucus, Women's Law Caucus, ACLU, the Federalist Society,

Christian Legal Society, etc.) I just got a response from some guy asking me

to remove him from my " mailing list " and signed himself a " hunter, killer,

and equal-opportunity eater of animals. "

 

I'm very upset and agitated over this, probably way out of proportion to the

magnitude of the problem. I know that if I want to be an effective activist,

I have to learn to let this garbage roll off me. How do you do it?

 

Thanks,

Anna

Anna;

 

First of all, please accept my congratulations on the formation of your new AR

group! :-) Good job! I wish you best of luck with it.

 

And now, regarding the " hunter... " I think your reaction is completely

appropriate and understandable. I think I would feel just the same if it were

me in your position.

 

When I have been asked to take someone " off my list " , literally or figuratively,

I have found that I can do that by releasing them like a message in a bottle, in

hope and trust that the person will find their own way to the Light. I have

found that such a method has been very effective, not only at granting me

release and peace but amazingly also in showing results in their lives as well.

 

I hope that this is helpful to you Anna. I think you're on a good path, and it

sounds to me like you have what it takes!
