You seem to have a noticeable post-bathroom stain.

You might want to wash your face more often.

Your wife may have given me the clap. FYI.

Your pants seem to be a little tight. It seems like your thong is showing. I like what you're wearing today.

Please return the personal item you took from me.

Yeah, that'll work well anonymously. I also love "Please consider wearing a more updated tie." Is there tie fashion? Perhaps ultra-wide 70s style ties would be the one tie fashion I can think of, but that's more a matter of good looking vs ugly ties, no?

Your post seems a little thin.

Your site seems to be down. You might want to look at that.

Me: I wonder what the internets have to say about this site. [Googles "nicecritic"]

Google: "Did you mean: necrotic"

The weight gain really makes you look healthy.

This is under the "anonymous praise" section, but could also be under the "evil frenemy bitch" section.

Can we come up with a MeMail pony based on this?
"You seem to be posting drunk today"
"I was wondering if your medication is still working"
"You could use some help with punctuation"
"Your fark memes are not as amusing as you think they are here"

Yes, but there would be a 10% chance that any given comment would be posted to a public forum with your name attached.

Are you feeling lucky, punk?

It seems like some of the participants in this thread may have anger issues.

Sending everything through iContact's email marketing platform kind of rubs me the wrong way.

Your use of anonymous e-mail to address problems of this nature suggests that you might be completely chickenshit.

1. This will be fantastic for sending to friends who I haven't fucked with in a while. Yes, I don't need to actually see a reaction to enjoy the prank. I can simply IMAGINE it.

2. I am not anorexic, but as I understand it, couldn't it easily to just as much harm as good to tell someone recovering from this illness about how awesomely notable their weight-gain is? I honestly don't know, and am curious.

passive aggression.

I don't think this phrase means what you think it means.

Saying "you need to bathe more often" isn't passive aggression, it is plain ol' aggression.

Exactly what I'm doing right now.

I think that doing so by way of an anonymous link to a website is the passive part

Your constant complaining about american politics, combined with your absolute refusal to participate in the process of change leave me confused and irritated. Sincerely, the Rest of the WorldTM

Dizzy:

This is the right thread, I was referring to the aforementioned "Your weight gain is making you look healthy" message you can send with this.

Of course. But the people sending the notes could care less about others' self-esteem, or they would just slip a "You've been looking great recently! What's your secret? New haircut?" into conversation.

But without bringing the other person's problems into it, they have no way of feeling morally superior.

How do we know this isn't harvesting email addresses for some nefarious purpose? The site has an "about" page but nothing about who runs it.

Worse, the mentally retarded individuals who use this are sending them email addresses without the recipients' permission. Who doesn't love spam?
