Boson and Erik,
Thanks for the advice but I /know/ ignoring is the best thing to do, I just don't like being threatened and was wondering if anyone had a standard response. I feel like ignorance like this should be challenged and corrected, especially when some moron thinks that he is in the right and may spread that type of misinformation. Also, Plan B as a collective take particular offense at being labeled as discriminatory. What I'm looking for is a way to explain to this person that by the definition of law we are not participating in discriminatory action and I would like to invite him to contact the ACLU. Would informing him that we are not excluding a protected class be enough? Can I just call him names and be done with it?
Just wondering has a well informed and well written automatic response for this.
Thanks again.

Hey y'all,
This is Victor at Plan B down in Hot as Hell New Orleans (the new official name for the city). I just got this email, and it's almost laughable, but I wanna deal with it in by using an accountable and knowledgeable (and perhaps vicious) response. I'd love some ideas. Here's the email, in it's entirety.
/While viewing your website, I have noted that tuesday nights are exclusive to women and transexuals- I hope that you are aware that as a non-profit this constitutes sexual discrimination. If you do not cancel this event, I may refer the situation to the ACLU. Thank You, Thomas Taylor
/My gut instinct is to be a jerk. My original response started with the line, " Dear Big Dummy...."
I'm not the best at responding to jerks, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks y'all!
Overheated hugs and sweaty kisses,
Victor _______________________________________________ Thethinktank mailing list Thethinktank@bikecollectives.org To unsubscribe, send a blank email to TheThinkTank-leave@bikecollectives.org To manage your subscription, plase visit: http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.o...
