[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster above who suggested an email saying "A woman named Mary Blah..." to your family members and mutual friends.

This person sounds crazy. Who suggests going to mediation with a friend? That is too much for me.[/quote]

If I received an email like that, I would think the sender was petty and controlling.[/quote]

"A woman named Mary Blah is contacting my friends and family trying to get them to intercede on her behalf in a disagreement she and I had two years ago. She has contacted my husband, my sister and my mother and lied to them to get information about me. Two years ago, I told Mary that I could not continue our friendship unless she X, Y and Z. She responded a year later, and is now trying to convince mutual friends and family members that it is a misunderstanding. I believe that she has a psychological disorder, and I do not wish to have a relationship of any kind with her. I apologize for any harassment you may experience as a result of this, but I wanted you to be aware of the situation so that you can take whatever steps you feel are necessary to insulate yourselves and your family from her harassment."

If I received that email, I would think that the sender has been experiencing harassment and stalking at the expense of someone who is unbalanced, and I would be concerned.[/quote]

You are assuming the recipients of the email are perceiving the actions to be harassment.

Look, my point is that unless something egregious happens (like theft or worse) then I don't really care about to hear about squabbles between two people. Most of the time, people argue over stupid or petty things.[/quote]

Right, and so if Mary Blah in this situation reached out to you, telling you that she and your mutual friend had some falling out, that she'd really appreciate it if you could pass along a message and ask your mutual friend to give a call, and that it would be a big help if you could just confirm the mutual friend's address so Mary could send a reconciliation card - how would you respond? Would you have appreciated a heads up from your mutual friend? Would you ignore the message? If you otherwise didn't have reason to think that Mary was off her rocker, would you give her the mutual friend's address? Would you express your condolences but say you think it's best if they communicate directly and then not give any info away?[/quote]
