Someday my head is going to explode...REALLY!

Almost exactly a year ago -- on February 13th of last year -- I vented about how sick and tired I am of receiving Internet hoax emails from well-meaning people. So what's in my inbox this morning? You guessed it.

RE: Removal of Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah and other pastors from the airwaves. This includes "The Spoken Word" with the Tabernacle Choir. An organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington , D.C. Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel of our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves of America. They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand!
Sure, the general theme is a little bit different from the one I got last year. But the "Petition Number 2493" is right there, same as last year.

I could feel a steady build up of angry juices of the type that cause men's heads to explode. So I wrote the following in reply. I haven't sent it yet...I was hoping for a little feedback first from the general community before I flame the poor SOB who had the misfortune of sending it to me.
I love the Internet -- I really do! But when I receive the same MF'ing emails OVER AND OVER AND OVER -- emails about which I've already sent out blanket blasts of "No, this is a fraud, see Snopes for details" -- I just get so frickin' SALTY!

Madeline Murray O'Hair has been DEAD FOR 14 YEARS. The atheists don't give a rat's ass about the stoopid religious broadcasts. Nobody -- let alone 287,000 people! -- cares enough about them to even listen to them, let alone sign a petition against them! They all pretty much universally suck. This is especially true for the programs of frauds "Doctor" James Dobson and Joel Osteen. And I'm saying this as a Christian!

Please, for the love of God, STOP SENDING ALARMIST EMAILS UNTIL YOU'VE BOTHERED TO CHECK ON WHETHER THEY'RE LEGITIMATE OR NOT!!!!!!!

GRRRRRRR!
So....am I being too harsh? Or is this just about right? Inquiring minds want to know.
