Hello and happy timezones, my friends. This evening, I had a comment land in my spam box from someone who can’t figure out how to unsubscribe from this site. She threatened me with litigation and told me to speak to my lawyer all because she thinks there is no possible way she can unsubscribe from booomcha.com.
Because I have no idea who she is and her email does not even show up on my list of subscribers, I am putting instructions here for her…
Thank you again, friends. I’m sorry for any snarkiness that may have offended your sensibilities. Let’s move on, shall we?
May you all have a happy weekend!
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

Oh dear, and oh well. You were kind to give her instructions though she could have checked google. Sigh. Good riddance.
HUH? 😲 I hope you aren’t giving this the time of day. It’s not rocket science to unsubscribe at any time! Good grief Charlie Brown! 🙄
OK, granted WP should make it a little easier to unfollow a blog (and fix the rando unsubscribe bug), BUT… that seems like a wee tad of an extreme response.
Yes, I totally agree with what you say about WP. I reckon she was having a bad day. lol
I don’t know if it’s spam or not, but someone threatening you because they can’t do something is laughable! I’d say it’s all the more reason to post more blogs!
Right on! That is some great advice! 😀 Thank you!
Holy Smokes, Kymber! I can’t in my wildest imagination imagine anyone threatening you because they can’t figure out how to unsubscribe. It’s actually laughable. Come to think of it, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to unsubscribe because this is one of the nicest and safest places on the internet. I get your posts through Google gmail and when I read your post at the top right corner in the email is a conspicuous unsubscribe link. I agree with everyone, this was spam and likely a little fishing expedition from a hacker. If it was only text and no link or images and you didn’t reply directly, you are likely safe. Finally, how you handled this was the classiest thing I’ve ever seen. NO hate or retaliation, just a little nudge out the door they couldn’t find for themselves. I’m impressed with your professionalism and Boomcha!
Hi there, friend! You are so sweet to me. I didn’t respond, nor did I click on anything, so I’m sure I’m safe in that department.
I’m glad you liked how I handled it. I was afraid I had come off too snarky. LOL
Sometimes a wee bit of snark is the spice needed for a message to take hold. 😉
Yes, I suppose you are right about that. 😀
What John said, lol! Sorry you’re having to deal with it, Kymber.
LOL Thank you, Teri! I’m just glad the consensus thinks it’s spam. 😀
A spammer, for sure! Delete and move on… If they show up again, and their IP address is the same, you can always block that. Trouble is, IPs change all the time.
Yes, that’s so true, Debbie. It’s worth a try though, if they message again. 🙂
It sounds like spam, Kymber, but sorry you have to deal with it. I forget to check my spam, but when I do, I’m amazed at all the junk. Then again, I’m not surprised. This is the tech world we live in. Anyway, moving on is the best attitude. 💞🥰
Thank you, Lauren. That is sound advice; moving on.
I think you’re right that it is spam. It sort of threw me when I first saw it. Now, I am just laughing a little to myself. 💞
It takes all kinds.
It sure does. 🙂
I have similar problems and end up deleting from google settings.
Thank you, KC. I’m glad there are options other than the one suggested above. 🙂
I think this is spam, Kymber. Sometimes, I have an issue where I have to refollow blogs but never to unsubscribe. Anyway, tell her to sue WordPress because it’s their fault she can’t unsubscribe. LOL ❣️
I think you’re right, Eugi. I have that same problem where I have to refollow blogs. Hahaha You got it. 😀 Will do. ❣️
😊
It’s probably spam, but still – there are so many people on WordPress.com that have no idea how the platform works. Either with writing a blog or subscribing to it. Still, it’s great that you shared this with everybody. I’m thinking of doing the same – again.
Yes, you’re right about a lot of people not understanding how the platform works. You go, AM, I’m cheering you on! 😀
Thanks! I really appreciate it! ❤️
❤️❤️
Another example of the crazies that are out there. Or as some have said maybe it’s a troll. Made me laugh at least. Maggie
There are many out there, I’m sure. LOL It made me laugh, too. 😀 😀
Dear Kymber, this is spam and you shouldn’t give it any attention, nor let it ruin your day or even Xmas. Ludicrous. Have a wonderful Sunday 🌞
Thank you, Chris. You are right! Happy Sunday to you.
Focus on your art, especially on your poems, there are so many people who love them, I am one of them🐕🐕🐕
Thank you, Jean. I’m so glad and thank you for the sound advice.
If you someday have time and interest it would be great if you write a poem about sunset, its colors, the moment when the day turns into evening and how the some character feels it (a little boy or girl or deer etc) I loved that 😊 But just if you feel it’s okay someday. Happy Sunday 🐱
Thank you, Jean. Suggestions are always welcome and I will see what I can do. 🙂 Happy Sunday! 🙂
Sounds good 👍😊
Seriously? I can unsubscribe from your site? I can’t sue? Sounds to me like the grinch is visiting you this season.
Mucho peace Kymber, Here’s to moving on without her.
Right-o on the Grinch, Ernie. Mucho peace to you, too, my friend.
My dog ate one of my meatballs. He’ll better get a lawyer. It’s going to be a big lawsuit. Oh wait he didn’t do it. I ate the meatball myself. Not only can you easily unsubscribe but the size of the problem isn’t exactly big. It might be a troll harassing you. I’ve seen that before.
I think you’re right about the troll. That’s a funny analogy with your dog and the meatball. I love it!
Don’ let the screen door hit ya, B-Bye
That’s right! B-Bye! LOL Thank you, John.
😁
That sounds like spam or trying to engage you for who knows what reason. Your blog is lovely!
Thank you so much. I think you’re right that it must be spam. I was hoping she’d write again. LOL 😀
She obviously has never actually read an email notification for this or any other site. Right at the bottom is a nifty little link, clearly marked: unsubscribe… And I’ll be willing to testify to that in court!
Much love to you Kymber and to heck with the spam troll
Thanks so much. xoxo And, IKR? I was going to mention that in my message above, but forgot. lol
Much love to you, too.
Bah humbug! I like your site. Probably spam.
Awwww thanks so much. I’m glad you like it. I think you’re right about it being spam.
Sounds like this woman has more serious things going on other than unsubscribing to a WP site.
BTW there’s an easy way to unsubscribe while in Reader. When you click the three horizontal dots to view a post, there’s also the option to unsubscribe right there.
It’s likely spam; delete it and try not to worry too much about it ✌🏼
Thank you, Nancy. Thank you for explaining how to unsubscribe when viewing a post in the Reader.
I think you’re right. Thank you so much.
No worries, Kymber. People who prey on the concerns and fears of others are not worth the time of day. 😎
You are right, of course. xo
One doesn’t need to unsubscribe, WP does it for us all the time 😂
LOL There is that, too. 😀
Many a time I find I’m not following a blog that I used to. Then I find them and follow them again. But this lady is something else- threatening to sue you because SHE can’t unfollow you!!!!
LOL Right? She was polite but went straight for the throat without hearing how to do it.
I have found the same problem where I have to refollow blogs because WP has unsubscribed me.
I guess she must be having a bad day.
I reckon so. I didn’t help it get any better, I guess. lol
😅
Sounds like spam.
And it’s going to stay in spam. LOL
Lol she threatened you? I’d take her threats with a grain of salt. No lawyer will take on her case, no smart one anyway!
Yes, as a “P.S.” she told me I could face litigation for not having a way to unsubscribe. Then she told me to confer with my attorney. LOLOL
I agree with you. Thank you so much, Carol anne.
Well… May the unsubscribe fairy shower the disgruntled nonsubscriber with happy dust. 😉
LOL! I’m still giggling after reading your comment. Thank you, Kaye.
