Every now and then, we’ll get an email from someone who doesn’t immediately reveal how insane they are. It takes a few messages back and forth for them to show their true colors.
That was the case with Martin. There’s no reason to really introduce this further – y’all will be able to just see it for yourselves.
It started out with one of the dumbest questions ever.

I mean, there wasn’t even an actual message. Just that bizarre question in the subject line. Could I have just deleted it and gone about my day? Absolutely. But I felt fairly confident that this was potentially some Wall Of Shame material, and man oh man – Martin did not disappoint. So I responded.


He just wanted to hear my opinion, you guys. So I gave it to him.

Martin wasn’t happy. He wrote two follow-ups.




I responded.



I was pleased to see that he at least recognized that his answer was going to be the reason our conversation would end, and I confirmed that for him.


Because honestly, you guys – what’s the point of talking to someone who genuinely believes that skin color determines the value of a person? I’m amazed that there are people this ignorant, but unfortunately, the Martins of the world exist, and they live among us.
Martin had one more question for me, but I didn’t respond to it.


It was a logical question, seeing as how he wrote to our shared email address and I didn’t sign any of my replies to him, but as I made clear, I was not interested in having any further conversations with Martin.
My lack of response apparently infuriated him, and this is when the Real Martin was fully revealed. I’ve censored it slightly, but rest assured it arrived to our inbox fully uncensored.


Aaaaand there you have it.

Martin was so enraged, in fact, that he even tried using a whole other email account to come after us.


The whole putting-just-a-vulgar-subject-line-but-not-writing-in-the-message-field was kind of a dead giveaway. So I guess the good news it that we currently only have ONE psycho racist sending us emails, and not two as Martin would have us believe.
I’ve blocked any further messages of his (from both accounts) from reaching us. Because DAYUM he’s a lunatic. And it just makes me sad that we share the world with so many lunatics, you guys. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we didn’t?
Sigh.

You’re white? I never noticed it. All I see are two amazing women! Sounds like Martin’s been brain fartin’! If COTR actually hated black Americans, Ksenya and myself wouldn’t be permitted to write columns and post comments respectively. Mock, you did a phenomenal job of reaming and banning a cruel, bigoted white South African poster who attacked me here on COTR; this was back when you had Disqus. He probably thinks of you as a “n-word” lover. To hell with Martin and his ilk and the horses they rode in on! I feel sorry about the horses for having to carry such deadweights like those losers.
You may want to make sure the authorities know about Martin. He seems to be a little more than just an irate reader. Sometime these people are all talk and sometimes not so much. Please have the authorities make sure he is not a real threat as his last two emails seem to suggest.
My other comment: Sometimes all you can do is just laugh at their stupidity. The problem is they can be very dangerous people as we all should have learned from WWII. Thank God for living in a country with the 2nd amendment. Hopefully history does not try to repeat itself in America.
Stay safe!
Amen Mock. I wish we didn’t have to share the world with insane lunatics too.
“black violent crime…how do you explain those…”
Easy. I think has to do with environment (inner city), not the melanin content.
