These organizations are increasingly annoying me. Avaaz for instance,
their latest and greatest call to action, is "Huge threat to Avaaz"
caused by gmail apparently not prioritizing their emails... oh no, hang
on, my appologies, gmail *could* de-prioritize their emails. So say
"experts". It's a conspiracy. Well maybe if you didn't send me so many
emails on such earth shattering crimes against humanity (such as this
one) I might actually be more bothered about your emails. They're
supposedly a "people powered community", but where can I tell them to
back off? I'm advised to "REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE" to send a signal to
gmail. How about I send a signal to you? By ignoring you? What a
signal that will be. If you act like promotions, sound like promotions,
and read like promotions... I'm too impatient to wait for gmail to
de-prioritize you, I've done it myself.

But now I look like a privileged ignorant shit because is this the worst
I have to moan about? Irritating emails as opposed to state violence
and abuse?

Is it too much to wish they'd not use hysterical language, block
capitals, emotional appeals, and other tricks and tactics? I'm sure I
can't be the only one who gets irritated by this?

Oh but is that the worst I can complain about, irritation while
splashing around in my irrigation?
