As a blogger, I subscribe to the email lists of some organizations whose goals I do not, shall we say, necessarily embrace. Among them is Organizing For Action, the successor to the 2012 Obama campaign. As you can imagine, although I read OFA's messages with interest, I don't succumb to its frequent appeals for funds.
You might think OFA might let me loaf along on its list, but no. Just now arrived an email I'd call kind of creepy. Start with the subject line [emphasis added throughout]: "Mark: Not an OFA donor". Whoah: so this is not just a generic pitch to all who haven't coughed up: they're calling me out by name! The body of the message informs me that "according to the records associated with this exact email address," I haven't donated. "Exact email address"? They've got me nailed dead to rights!

First, I got an email asking if I was sure. Next, I got an email with a video from Michelle telling me all the wonderful things they accomplished. Third, I got an email asking me if that's what I really wanted to do. I hope that's it.
