The First Rule of Crazy
If you have to say you’re not crazy, you’re probably crazy.
This is a momentous event for EFCP: an email written to us, about us, from a maybe/maybe not crazy person. You decide. Apparently, we imprison minds. Or something like that.
Now im not crazy but this site is offensive to people who is mentally not sane or even maybe crazy. Once you post the peoples email you are violating there right to have FREE minds! Free, understand? Thats not fair plus its illegal. Believe me, I know. Ive stopped many people from doing this to me and helped other people too. LOTS of other people.
See I can play this game too because Ive been there before and how will you like it then! I KNOW how it works, believe me
So you should think 2 or even 3 times before you post other peoples thoughts OR there minds OR if even they think they aren’t crazy OR even if they do even say are fine it does NOT MATTER!
You should already know better, but youll find out and then youll will, know better. Plus I just told so you CANT say you didnt know better at least from now on.
And Im keeping a copy of this email to send to them if you dont stop IMMEDIATELY! Just know that I dont like doing that because I dont like to talk to them anymore but I will if you dont stop IMMEDIATELY!
Thank you

This is awesome. Watch out that you don’t get told off by Them. The lack of specification as to who Them are (police, psychologists, voices in head?) makes this gloriously sinister.
seriously, who’s “they”?
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
The Shadow knows!
So “They” is clearly the Shadow… and his amazing friends?
I don’t know them, ask Jesus or Santa.
i don’t know, but you better listen to them at LEAST 3 times
I totally was thinking the same thing. My theory: They are the voices in his head.
Why the plain and fancy ‘They’.
Maybe his bowl of peanuts is talking to him?
An instant classic, complete with an aversion to apostraphes and rotten grammar. I am quite sure “They” will think the same.
Hmmm, I didn’t know sending an email or letter was freeing your mind o_O Guess I should write more.
Not only can you free your mind, but apparently it’s supposed to be secret.
“Just know that I dont like doing that because I dont like to talk to them anymore but I will if you dont stop IMMEDIATELY!”
Is the reason that you don’t like to talk to them anymore because the men in the white uniforms told you it was not good to listen to “them”?
I think you may want to heed this warning…the only way the warning could bear more crazy is it they admitted to working at a post office…
It’s autism woman, for sure
Ha! Ha! My first thought as well.
has to be her.
“mentally not sane”. Well, that’s a nice way to put it.
Cos there are other kinds of insanity, doncha know?
Yeah. I’d love someone to claim that they were physically not sane.
Actually, that’s what I should call myself during Yoga class.
IMMEDIATELY!!!!
That’s it. I’m contacting Them RIGHT NOW.
I hope they stop because he knows….he always knows….and now we know that he knows so we will know what he knows, ya know?
I know!
you know?
I want to know IMMEDIATELY!!!!
I totally know what you mean.
No Way.
I know, right?
This thread is as ridiculous as this email.
spoilsport
I know!
Each of the pieces makes sense, but put together… I have no idea what she’s trying to say o.o. It’s like Miss South Carolina in long form.
Okay, except this part makes no sense: “even if they do even say are fine”
What makes you think it’s a she?
I read through it two times but couldn’t see anything that points to the writer being female…
see above when they suspect its a response from crazy autism woman
Ah okay,I didn’t consider that
Maybe EFCP should think at least, as a bare minimum, 5 times before they start posting emails that violate their right to have FREE minds. Free, understand? Because once you send out an email, their souls get trapped in them.. just like photographs!
All you FREE minds are lucky. I had to pay for my mind. BOY, did I pay.
Who is them? Watch out youll be sorry I’m sure. If you hve posted this it seems you have had to repeat to many times that you’re not crazy.
“you are violating there right to have FREE minds!”
… George Clinton, everybody… Let’s give him a hand…
So, this site is also not letting people’s asses be FREE because there are no FREE minds to follow? That is low.
We’ll just ignore how nutty this all sounds for a moment, and go with the idea that maybe this person was trying to make a point about an invasion of privacy (posting people’s “private” emails for all the world to see and lol at). Even that is not a valid point, because all the private info is blacked or bleeped out, or simply deleted.
Furthermore: if this site is offensive, don’t visit it. Problem solved.
This is why I think that probably something made by this person, some letter or ad, is here on this very blog.
Question is – which one it will be?
that is not for YOU’RE mind to know! Your not free!
“Now,I’m not crazy” is an opening guarenteeing batshit insanity.
Second that…
third that
SOLD!
Nonsense. I’ve started plenty of emails with “Now, I’m not crazy, but the voices in my head are…”
I hear voices in my head, too, but they speak Spanish, so it’s OK.
so to convince you aren’t crazy, you should say, “i am crazy, and…”, since crazy people are known to deny they are crazy, the opposite should be true.
i think im a little crazy just for suggesting this, but then i cant be crazy because i admit it…
OH SHI- (head explodes)
nah, if he could even write. On the other hand however, the dude has a point. Publishing other people’s emails on internet for sure violates right for privacy… Although the name and other private information are hidden, still there is some private information published, which is illegal in most law systems out there in the world.
BUT to say something in deffense of EFCP: lot of times it’s EXTREMLY HILARIOUS!
Just wanted to point out that this is actually perfectly legal. It’s fine to share communications (phone calls, conversations, emails, etc.) with a third party as long as you have the consent of one of the two communicating parties. As most of these emails are sent in by people who were the sane members of the conversations, it’s completely legal. If it wasn’t sent in by them, it was probably sent in by someone who had it sent to them by one of the two, so still legal. Gotta love law.
If you meant what you said about privacy, then hilarity is no defense for that.
Unless the email was sent to a: spouse, doctor, lawyer or religious head than there is no legal expectation of privacy (in the US where this conglom. is based). Most of the US’s privacy laws (inc the electronic communications privacy act) focus solely on the govt’s ability to obtain info to be used against you. Once an email leaves your computer and lands safely in the in-box of its recipient, you no longer have any reasonable expectation of its contents remaining “private” unless it was sent to one of the above-mentioned people (or is an inter-office business mail as overseen by company policy, non-disclosure agreements, etc).
Unless an e-mail has a disclaimer on it, or the person makes it clear in the text of the message that it’s a private conversation, I fail to see how it’s an invasion of privacy to publish on EFCP.
There are two parties to the exchange, just like in a verbal conversation.
Well, then I’m gonna have to start demanding that people not listen when I talk to somebody. PRIVACY, after all.
true that, but its not really EMFC’s fault, but the people who submit to the site. Its the people who recieve the crazy emails who the “crazies” are entrusting their privacy to, who then violate that trust and privacy by posting it online. Getting rid of EMFC wont help, because then it’ll just get posted on 4chan or another of the billions of sites like this.
Not true that, read other posts on the topic. If I send you communication it is completely within your right to broadcast it unless you are my doctor or lawyer or business associate.
I think the person is saying it’s a violation of *presumed* trust and privacy. I doubt most people expect to see their private emails online. For example, I have some from a guy who works for the IRS who was ranting for pages about how much he hates Mexican immigrants, but I don’t want to publish them on here because it might backfire and get me audited, so those gems of insanity will probably just stay on my computer.
Granted, I will keep that in mind the next time someone steals my “presumed money”. Seems to me if i am sending an entry here, it is not from a friend and they would be idiotic to presume trust from me.
For a brief second I thought this was Lizzy, then I realized this was way further out to lunch than she ever was. Like others asked…who the hell is “them”. Is it the the “they” from Poltergeist? Or perhaps the “them” from every conspiracy theory out there? Or perhaps the writer will just fax it off to the voices in their head. Anyway the Cheezburger network has already shown that it will not be intimidated by large corperations, so I doubt a lone crackpot will make many waves.
Lizzie actually had decent grammar and punctuation for a nagging harpy. This one can’t seem to understand what an apostrophe is for.
I’d like to see what kind of other people this one has helped. I bet they’d make GREAT entries to this site!
THEY’RE HEEEEEEERE.
Naww, don’t we get to see TK’s email address? That’s very restrained of you!
FTW!!!
FOAD!!
Watch out, they’ve got a mail office down at the loony bin now.
LMAO!
You can just taste the mental FAIL.
“Now im not crazy but this site is offensive to people who is mentally not sane or even maybe crazy.” – err.. those are the same things there buddy boy.
“Thats not fair plus its illegal.” — err..wrong. Emails and letters belong to the person who receives them. That person can do whatever they want with them up to and including forwarding them out to a web site to be publicly posted. Any notice posted publicly is, by default, 100% not private.
” even they think they aren’t crazy OR even if they do even say are fine it does NOT MATTER!” – Correct. Nothing they say, think or do matters.
“Plus I just told so you CANT say you didnt know better at least from now on.” – And who, exactly, voted you God? You don’t control the ‘net. Nice try though.
“I dont like to talk to them anymore but I will if you dont stop IMMEDIATELY!” – You may as well talk to “them”, I doubt anyone here will listen.
Seriously, that was the best one yet! Here’s hoping they write some more!
QUOTED : “Thats not fair plus its illegal.” — err..wrong. Emails and letters belong to the person who receives them. That person can do whatever they want with them up to and including forwarding them out to a web site to be publicly posted.
I’m not so sure on that letters & emails belong to those who receive them. I read a book once based on the letters a lady received from her friend while they were awhile at college. The friend was found dead (murdered?) and everyone was saying what a tragedy, she had so much to live for, was so full of life, etc. The author said not really, her letters indicated she was depressed and disparate and questioned if perhaps her friend put herself in harm’s way on purpose. The book starts off saying that the letters are not verbatim, but rather the essence of what the dead girl wrote. The letters couldn’t be quoted because dead girl’s parent’s legally blocked their being published.
Name of book please? I’d love to research the reason for such a ban on my own. need more info.
Aiy! It has been so long. I want to say “dead girl” is in the title. I see on Amazon The Dead Girl by Melanie Thernstrom and the cover says a true story, so that may be it. No info on the story though to be sure.
I love the way he just can’t seem to get a complete thought on “paper.” He gets close. You can kind of tell where he’s going, the his genius takes him of in another direction.
i know him, and he’s a decent lawyer and not crazy at all when he’s not high on meth.
and if you don’t know who “them” are, then you’re one of them.
I though most lawyers are crazy per definition. But maybe not those who do meth, don’t know the laws and can’t write. Then again, maybe they are not lawyers. Go figure.
Lawyers are not crazy simply by being lawyers. Many of them have certain ethical hurdles they fail to clear, but that’s quite a different thing.
you are confusing “crazy” for “evil”
They probably prefer the term “morally challenged.”
Uhhh I’m crazy, five shrinks say so and two botles of prescription drugs confirm the fact, but I ain’t shit crazy like this guy. I love this site and I imagine my mentally ill brethren love this site too, if you can’t laugh at yourself who can you laugh at. Oh and this guy is crazy cuz I too cannot finish thoughts or have them in order. I still want to know what’s gonna happen to EFCP since you posted this guys “free mind?” LOL
It is your civic duty to tell “Them” IMMEDIATELY!
You guys better watch out, or he’ll get Them.
Don’t mess with Them, it’ll be a big mistake.
no no – it’ll not be a big mistake – ‘itll will be a big mistake’ – get it right or THEM will find you and your mindll will not be free anymore.
Now is the time to go through the archives and see which previous submissions are similiar in writing style to this one. Although, ‘Them’ probably have us beaten to the punch.
I think there’s a hidden message in here, just crying out to be found:
FREE LOTS NOT MATTER! CANT IMMEDIATELY! IMMEDIATELY!
Or not…
Either way, serious bona fide craziness here. I particularly like the way that this comes so close to being comprehensive and then takes fright and hides behind another pile of verbal vomit
I think its obviously a fake. Someone wrote this just to get published on the site. I was convinced it was real until the last two paragraphs Went a little too far there.
agreed – fake email
If this keeps up, they’ll need to start a second blog: Emails From Crazy People to Emails From Crazy People
I call Troll.
I love the “…you should think 2 or even 3 times…”
Not think about it once….but two or even 3 times, but not 4 times, lest you blow up!
“…Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.”
Then youll will chuck the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
So… they=foe?
I love the crazies. 8^D
“five is right out.” hahahaha f’in classic.
Ahem. “Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch….”
Nobody out-Pythons me and gets away with it.
Please note, Dear Firefly (wait? are you a Browncoat? Browncoats rule!), that the Hand Grenade part is NOT in quotes.
Mainly because I couldn’t remember “lobbest thou” to save my life.
I R A dolt. What a moroon.
I humble prostrate myself before you in awe of your encyclopediac Python knowledge.
*humbly* Humbly, I meant.
Engaging Caffeine Distribution System….
Browncoat? “It was on sale.”
War’s long done. We’re all just folk now.
bahahahaha i wonder if they will send more emails after reading the comments.
Don’t forget, it’s illegal. But more importantly, it’s not faaairrrr *whines*
Also:
“So you should think 2 or even 3 times before you post other peoples thoughts OR there minds”
I would LOVE to see someone’s mind posted. Maybe if we got a CAT scanner in here we could see why people send such ridiculous emails.
Sadly, i think it is already too late to save him.
<>
Sure with over a millions cams 24/7 with less than a 100 underpaid morons working 7/5 in all North America , they are surely have time to watch over a dµmb like you!!!
Sadly, i think it is already too late to save him.
-I’m thinking gov is spying me…
Sure with over a millions cams 24/7 with less than a 100 underpaid morons working 7/5 in all North America , they are surely have time to watch over a dµmb like you!!!
*Thinks* Thinks again* Thinks a third time* HA! HA! HA! HA!
Wow… yah this is great.
Be afraid of ‘them’… be very afraid…
Now, I’m not crazy or anything but as much as I want to put you in your place I can’t comment on this site because I don’t want to lose my free mind, oh wait, Crap… now what do I do….
if you can’t formulate a proper sentence, you’re at least stupid. and as far as i’m concerned that’s enough to be worthy (unworthy?) of appearing on this site.
“Crazy” and “mental health disability” are not the same thing. “Mental health disability” is a term for someone who suffers from (un)treated schizo-affective disorders, bi-polar disorder, etc. etc., “Crazy” is someone who just can’t seem to make the connection that how the world is and how the world “should” work are two different concepts.
Oh the idealists…
“Crazy” is merely the lay diagnosis of “mental health disability.”
No. “Mental Health Disabled” is simply the current politically correct catchphrase for…batshit crazy. As in “He is crazy. She is crazy. The Joker is Batshit Crazy.”
The random capitalizations really drive the point home.
I see what the problem here is. She thinks you’re posting emails from the voices in her head. That means she can no longer have a FREE mind. C’mon she even said in the last paragraph that he doesn’t like talking to them any more. You should think two or three (but sure as hell not +4!) times before posting, or she will bring the dreaded Them after you!
It’s the ‘Thank you’ at the end that just parks it right into crazy territory. *lol*
“So you should think 2 or even 3 times before you post other peoples thoughts OR there minds OR if even they think they aren’t crazy OR even if they do even say are fine it does NOT MATTER!”
This person definitely has to be crazy, because I’ve tried to wrap my brain around the above paragraph several times and can’t make any sense out of it.
Cleartext email has been ruled to have little or no expectation of privacy: Most ISPs will take measures to secure the data stored on their email servers, but it’s not like email travels the intertubes in sealed envelopes or canisters. EFCP is freeing your mind by letting it rant to a broader audience.
I’m sorry to see you go, emailsfromcrazypeople.com. You will be missed, but this lady means business!
“There minds.” Where minds? hehehe
Werewolf? There wolf…
BELIEVE ME!
Does this mean “Them” is Naruto?
I want to say that the author is possibly not crazy but has a mission, like the people who wanted Tropic Thunder banned because it made light of people with mental retardation. Due to the lack of correct use of there/their and the subject-less sentences, I wonder if this person has mastered 3rd grade reading skills. In any case the website offends the author, which is a heavy indicator of Crazy.
good grammar god, I can’t even get through that muck!
nothing entertains me more than self righteous people who think they know what they are talking about, and honestly and sincerely believe it. What could only make this email better is if someone tried arguing with the crazy about how they were wrong.
hmmm… I smell a fake. A good-natured fake. but a fake nonetheless.
Not…not THEM!!! *girly scream*
free minds, meet free press. prepare to be flattened.
“…before you post other peoples thoughts OR there minds…”
I missed the link for where the minds are posted. I’ve only been reading the e-mails.
Wow…this person totally does not get the point of the website. Some categories:
-Mentally ill: suffering from a mental disorder (e.g., bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, multiple-personality disorder).
-”Good” crazy: eccentric or wacky, but overall rational and reasonably good-natured.
-”Bad” crazy: pick and choose: dogmatic, inane, irrational, self-aggrandizing, perpetually enraged, etc.
See, we don’t pick on the mentally ill; they can’t usually help it, and we have medication that helps them out now. “Good” crazy is probably the majority of our readership. Where do we get content? Hell yeah, it’s the “bad” crazy constituency. Like this delightful writer of the deranged rant!
I have to say a few things…
First before you write something, please know the difference between there/their!
Second, by telling me I cannot have an opinion (and lots of laughs) on whether someone is crazy or not is violationg my freedom. Don’t write crazy shit and it won’t get made fun of. That simple. If it makes you insane don’t look at it and go see your therapist.
And at last, this person is crazy but badly in denial. And also hilarious!
I’ve been a mental patient in a mental hospital,am currently on Prozac and i find this site hilarious.Maybe this person should give the voices in his head some of my prozac.
“They” and “Them” are giant ants, of course. (This is referencing a 1950’s movie in case anyone is confused)
Yeah, go talk to “them” if you dare XD
Yeah, I agree a little nuts, but I do think they have a bit of a point. Isn’t it illegal to forward and publicly post emails without the original writers permission? I remember a couple of my forums getting into SERIOUS trouble for that.
No.
There is no expectation of privacy in email. Sorry. Adjust your life accordingly.
nope. I think someone else mentioned earlier, but an email, like a letter etc, belongs to the recipient, not the sender. Once you hit that send button you give up rights over it. The recipient can freely do anything they want with it and if they want to publish it online that’s up to them.
As far as I’m aware the only restrictions most sites impose, including EFCP, is that all information which could be considered “private” such as email addresses, full names or addresses etc, be removed. That’s done because in some countries is IS illegal to give out someone else’s contact details without their prior consent.
If I hacked into your email and published the contents I would be in shit. If I sent you batshit crazy email and YOU published it, you would be OK. The reason is you own the correspondence you receive. By your argument a person could not use a threatening letter as evidence against it’s writer.
Looks at a news headline in near future..gun man says they just kept making fun of me and they would not listen to reason, so I just had to do it. Cop says but most of your victims were innocent. gunman says, O well. //// I think that you is all playing with fire,the mad/crazy peeps that you is lampooning are all living near a gun shop, and its America, best luck to you all..
I think you misspelled your name. You spell it, “P-A-R-A-N-O-I-A” not “R-E-A-S-O-N.”
As in the “Reason” I did it. And we will see.
Hey, Voice – was this post your own work? I’m just curious.
Well de voice’s helped but yes it is all our own work.
… and how many times in your life have you lost a drinking game by a significant margin…?
eeewwww !!
So now the crazy people are posting comments?
Damn Right, This is de forum for crazy peeps makin crazy posts, and if u doubt me ,read em and think. There are degrees of crazy,even some of the self-realised people are crazy,any one that eats processed food is crazy. Anyone that smokes, has a death wish and so is crazy, anyone that drinks alchohol (listed poison) is crazy. I could go on but hey!…
Well, I think we found “them”
Well, at least you were warned. When “They” show up, don’t be suprised.
Don’t post there minds, mkay?
Because that’s illegal, mkay? And drugs are bad, mkay? Brilliant!
Don’t bother thinking about it a fourth time, though. That’s just excessive.
lol wut
Ooooh yes, like saying “stop IMMEDIATELY!” is going to make you just take down the whole website. Didn’t this idiot know that she/he would be the butt of the IMMEDIATE joke?
Wow people are so stupid…
An email from a crazy person sent to a site called emails from crazy people and posted to said site that is complaining that we shouldn’t post or read the emails from crazy people because people have a right to a free mind.
I think I just broke a neuron.
Make sure you think twice about how you reply about this one. Maybe even THREE times.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
there’s nothing like the ubiquitous “they” to lend authority to one’s missive. add the ubiquitous “they” to some CAPITAL LETTERS and the certainty of you (the one deciding to post the crazy emails) will cease and desist.
yeah. right.
What, nobody knows Them? They’re the ones that do Things.
Oh, THERE “They” are!! The Michael-from-Good-Times guy was looking for them to do things!
The only question, then, is whether or not this site is maintained by a white, Asian, or Latina lady who’d be hot for a guy who looks like Barack Obama or possibly Michael from Good Times. Poster Child will finally get the hookup he needs. (And yes, I’m sticking with Poster Child as a nickname for him.
)
I know who “They” are.
I read _THEM! Adventures with Extremists_ by Jon Ronson — hysterically funny BTW. Ronson is the journalist who also chronicled some of his other adventures in _The Men Who Stare at Goats_ (now a major motion picture that I still have not seen but have plans to see this weekend).
“They” are the Bilderberg Group. And “They” run the world. At least, the parts of the world not run by alien lizards that masquerade as people in charge.
Just sayin’.
Best. E-mail. Ever. This e-mail should be the main source of advertising for this website. Nothing has ever illustrated so clearly what “E-mails from crazy people” is all about.
srsly, i come from a family with a lot of mental illness… and I think that this site is hilarious… so…
Written to EFCP, about EFCP, from a crazy person!?!
BEST…CRAZY…EVER!!!
He has a point. I too have stopped many people from posting my mind to a website and thus preventing me from having a free mind. It’s a busy job, but someone has to do it.
Oooooooooh. Them. I just shat meself.
You cannont call Them by name, because They will hear it… Rather like He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Hey by commenting on this, are we repressing our free minds, or expressing our free minds? Can you violate your own free mind by reading something that theoretically violates free minds and commenting/posting on it? Oh what a tangled web we weave… By being the loyal readership of EFCP, are we also soon to be targets of Them? I just wanna know if I need to ready my “Rabid people/Zombie beat down” kit.
I violated my mind once. It spent the rest of the night huddled in a corner, sobbing quietly.
Maybe he has a point. This website has been featuring emails written by people who wrote such emails as a result of psychological diseases.
It’s one thing to mock idiocy and douche bags, but when someone is obviously suffering from a mental disease is it still OK to make fun of them so publicly?
I have never taken the word “crazy” in the website’s name literally; I figured it was a satiric figure of speech. Perhaps I was wrong.
I realize the way this e-mail is written is quite weird, but what if the author was also suffering from a mental disorder? That would explain why he seems so determined to defend those who’s e-mails have been featured on this website, and perhaps this is why he has so much trouble expressing his thoughts in an ordered and clear way.
We can laugh all we want at this e-mails, but maybe the website administrators AND the community should also seize the occasion to rethink what is acceptable and what is not.
Many humor websites seem to think it’s fine to laugh at everything and everyone and fail to draw a line not to cross. It seems this website has the same problem, even though I must admit I have not seen too many emails from people who seemed to suffer from mental disorders.
I think it’s kind of sad nobody took two seconds here to give a thought to this.
I think this website should go after douche bags and leave people with mental disorders alone. A mental disorder is nobody’s fault, especially not the victim’s, and victims of such disorders already suffer a lot on a daily basis without websites opening where millions of people laugh at them.
One of the worse aspects of mental disorders is in fact social rejection. Which is exactly what this website and this community do when an e-mail from a person with a mental disorder is published here.
We should also keep in mind that when we laugh at an e-mail from a person with a mental disorder, anybody who comes here and has the same disorder will be hurt, as it will make them feel that people “like them” (with the same problem) are not accepted by society.
Maybe everyone here is going to disagree with me, but I for one believe we should stick to mocking douche bags who deserve the mocking and spare people who suffer from actual disorders which they can’t do much about.
Dude,read all the comments.Most of us with mental disorders find this hilarious.If you can’t laugh at yourself then who can?If there is one thing us “crazy” people have l;earned is not to take ourselves tooseriously.By the way i’m also narcoleptic and i find jokes about that hysterical.It’s either laugh and cope or cry and stress.I’ll laugh tahnk you.
See pefect example-the lovely grabledness of my reply.That is a symptom of narcolepsy-I drift into micro sleeps and what i type frequently looks like this.I find it rather funny -perhaps annoying but funny.
If you find it too frustrating, you can always sleep it off.
hahahahaha
As someone who deals (not suffers) with bipolar disorder and has had episodes that would make you normals crap your pants in fear and confusion, please stop. Listen to my mentally ill brethren in these comments, from what I see a great deal of us do not want protection. Please stop asking people to treat us differently and walk on eggshells around us, please stop feeling sorry for us, please stop acting like this is a great time for an after school special. Please. You can be mentally ill and still be a douche bag. You can treat the mental illness in people but you can’t fix douche-baggery – some people just suck.
In all actuality, this type of reaction is the primary reason why I’m afraid to tell people of my bipolar disorder. I don’t want people looking at me like “that.” You know what I mean, that uncomfortable reaction of people who don’t understand that I just want them to treat me like they did before I let them know I’m being treated for a mental illness. Nothing hurts me worse than when the friend who I was joking around with the day before suddenly can’t find the words to carry on a conversation with me.
One, you are clearly a decent person whose heart is in the right place, and I do sincerely thank you for caring, but I vote that we let the emails from actual crazy people be included on this site. I also implore you to laugh your ass off at them.
That’s the drawn out opinion of this crazy, take from it what you wish.
My favorite psych prof of all time said, “Not everyone has a mental illness. Some people are just assholes.”
my guess (haven’t read all comments, so idk if it was already suggested), is someone who had their email or posting posted here, got laughed at in comments, and is upset that their mental insanity has been exposed, in violation of their FREEness.
It’s autism woman
Best. Post. EVER!
I’m crazy. Can I write to you now and reach this level of fame?
I had to copy + paste this, and put correct grammar and spelling in it before I read it, in case my mind caught the crazy.
Good thing I don’t have an open mind, or people might post it on the internet.
Attention everyone! it is US. thats right. THEM themselves. I have just received an interesting Email from a very prestegious, extremely high-ranking client of OURS, and consequently site has been brought to OUR attention. As we are THEM, it is our right and duty to shut down and destroy every facet of the universe that may somehow upset the balance of one mentally unstable individual’s right to never feel threatened by anything in any way, shape, or form, no matter how puny and insignificant, and otherwise completely meaningless that thing may be. Therefore and furthermore, i regret to inform you all that you must shut down this website, and all patrons must vacate the premises IMMEDIATELY…Go on…………I will give you all a moment to gather your things………Go ahead now, this site is closed………………………………..you’re not leaving………………………………………………………………..you think this is a joke?…………………………………..this is THEM you’re messing with fella…………………………..OK OK, stay here and keep this site up and see what happens…………………………………..I’m SOOOOOOOO serious you have no idea…………………………………..You really want to test US don’t you?……………..Fine…………………………………………………I gave you a chance to bow out gracefully, now we’re taking this to the next level. Its gonna get scary in here. I AM THEM!!! do you know what that means? do you? I don’t think you do……You think you know what crazy is? Its about to get all kinds of crazy up in here………………yeah go ahead, laugh it up….HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH…not gonna be so funny when you see what WE are truly capable of………..if i were you i would never come back to this site again if you know whats good for you……………………..consider yourself warned……………..
Warmest Regards and Happy Holidays,
Them.
You’re not Them! You’re Thpartacuth!
Dear Them,
I’m very sorry, but all I could think about through your warning was Michael Keaton in Batman… “You wanna get nuts? Come on! Let’s get nuts!”
Sincerly, The Others.
This is a (well crafted) fake – it has obviously been written by someone who has studied the e-mails on this site very closely and contains many of the common “crazy components” such as the vague allusions to authorities, capitalization for punctuation, blending of tenses and other grammatical inconsistencies, inventing legal infractions, and all the usual random posturing, paranoia and threats. I’ll give the author credit – he’s done his homework and crafted a fantastic piece, but it is way too on-the-nose to be real!
The internet. Serious business.
Wait, so…who’s this “them” they don’t want to talk to anymore? And how will we like what then?
Maybe I’d understand it if I had a free mind, but I bought mine on eBay.
I -am- mentally ill, and this site is freakin’ hilarious!
Definitely crazy hands down.
I absolutelly agree. This page is so mean, they even publicize this comment. I am not allowed to have a free mind, because i have to live in fear of this page enlarging my freedom by sharing my valuable thoughts with even more people. I mean – hello? – its like i wrote an email and another person reads it. I will talk to THEM about it, too. Hopefully, they also know, where my pants are and why they dont fit over my head anymore.
A friend of mine recently posted about a campaign created to try to remove words like “Crazy” and “Stupid” from common language because it might hurt the mentally ill and the learning-disabled.
That’s pretty crazy, I think.
And stupid.
The whole “political correctness” thing needs to be smashed into tiny bits.
Amen.PC has crippled us and taken our common sense.We can’t spend all our free time taking everything so personally.If we make all of us conform to the same thing and the same words and never offend anyone then we become boring sheeple.I don’t want to be a sheeple.I will proudly wave my freak flag and if you you want to use words like crazy I’m good with that.Iam unique in my own f*****d way.
Right fucking on
If I couldn’t use the word crazy I couldn’t describe myself to other people, and I am mentally ill. Mentally ill is just too wordy. And if I can’t use the word stupid, I can’t describe people who want to yank the words crazy and stupid from our vernacular.
lol fail.
Very interesting!!!
does this prove that even paranoids have enemies??
Am I a horrible person for wishing that someone who’s crazy got made fun of would come defend their honor in comments?
No, just for using “who’s” when you meant “whose”. Give me your mind. Now.
To be fair, s/he might have just left out an “and.”
“Am I a horrible person for wishing that someone who’s crazy [and] got made fun of would come defend their honor in comments?”
That’s the way I read it – three times – while I was getting read to mock you for incorrectly correcting the whose/who’s thing. Fortunately I caught my error in time, whew!
for saying “read” when you mean “ready”, give me your mind too.
I think rule number two of crazy should be that any person who actually believes that their exessively poorly written tirades on trivial subject matter could feasibly serve any other purpose other than amusement is crazy. Looks like they’re at two strikes…
Don’t you people watch any classic horror B-movies? THEM! are giant killer-ants, of course.
What puzzles me, though, is how he/she is communicating with THEM… hmmmm.
Wait a minute… if them is the killer ants, does that mean that “they” are a bunch of aliens that can only be seen through special sunglasses like in that Rowdy Roddy Piper documentary on the subject? We’re not taunting crazies, we’re pissing off E.T.’s with giant ant pets. Tread lightly.
What this person is trying to say is clear, actually. For one thing, if someone with a mental illness comes onto this site and reads emails posted by other “crazy” people with obvious illnesses, them reads the comments people post they may very well feel hurt. Having a mental illness is not fun at all. I have a mental illness, and though I do find some of the stuff i read here funny, I am very aware of the fact that the person may be ill, and they may be suffering…. paranoia does cause suffering. Thinking people are out to get you, for instance, causes great anxiety, distress, anger, and feeling cornered. So those who are getting treatment reading this stuff, and the resulting comments may feel very hurt by the lack of compassion (or at least consideration) those commenting are showing… I’m not insulted by this site, though.
The Them she’s referring to could be others with illnesses she’s in contact with, they could be a group involved in protest against public displaying emails, could be anyone! She obviosly feels that posting emails received by someone is a violation of the email – sender’s privacy. She’s not alone on this either…. Some people, sane or not, do believe that text, chat, email, etc should be private (at least to that site) and not spread around the net/ read by others not involved. I am amazed so many people could not understand this person’s message…
Here’s something to consider… she may not even HAVE a mental illness!! She just might have difficulty communicating her ideas (lots of people do, to varying degrees)…. or may have been so angry she wasn’t coming across clearly.
ok two things. firstly, anyone here on EFCP who bothers to comment more than 2 paragraphs long are insane. secondly, anyone who defends/try to defend the featured crazies here on EFCP are crazy themselves. hence, from my observations, you, sir/madam, are insane and crazy. (excuse me for my failure to capitalize my first words)
No one is making her come to this site and read these comments and be offended. She has the power of choice. She can make the choice not to come back, just like anyone else who might think that us laughing at these emails/posters/recordings is cruel or wrong or mean.
get a fucking grip. you don’t like it? leave! don’t come back! don’t tell your friends! quit bitching about it!
I think most of us understood what she was trying to communicate. It was the just the literary equivalent of an abstract painting of a duck.
She certainly does have difficulty communicating her ideas; that is not in question. The letter is a garbled mess of half-concepts. The degree of the mess, and some of her assertions about what is and is not legal, suggests she really is crazy as well. But this website is not for catering to the needs of the insane or offering them avenues of treatment; if so it wouldn’t include the word “crazy” so prominently in its title. Anyone in need of a support group would be well-advised to go elsewhere.
Spot on!
Please, please tell me that EFCP responded…?
>So you should think 2 or even 3 times before you post other peoples thoughts
Actually, the correct number is 4 times.
So I’m the only person who thinks this email is a total put on from a regular reader of the site then?
One thing’s for certain: this individual has no worries about his thoughts being posted. He’s underqualified.
yea. the funniest thing is how he didn’t even tell efcp to not post this. i’d say this is some crazy 13 yr old who’s gonna like threaten to jump off a bridge if you dont stop. and maybe jump off 11 or 17 times.
The bridge would likely only be over a small creek… lol
I really always enjoy the use of commas by crazy people. They know that commas exsist so they put them in e-mails, but never really where a comma should be.
I’m pretty sure thinking 2 or 3 times isn’t enough. I subscribe to thinking at least 11 or 17 times, especially since they’re prime.
11 or 17 is insufficient. Rule # 52 states that One has to think a minimum of 75 times before making any decision.
I like the fact that they can’t spell(or even use proper English..) throughout this entire rant. XD
All your free minds are belong to us?
ahahahha! No, all your free minds are belong to THEM.
who is “them”?
That’s what I’d like to know..
issues much? psycho
I am crazy and I like it here…
I’m not so sure about crazy, but definitely stupid.
Their grasp of the English language is rudimentary at best.
With the complete ignorance of when and where to use capitalization and punctuation it’s confusing and painful to read.
Maybe I’m the only one here, but I still haven’t figured out who “them” is in the last sentence. Is “them” the guardians of crazy and stupid people?
It’s kind of sad actually. I went back to read the letter again hoping that after reading it a few times it would appear to be written by a child….but it really doesn’t. I’m pretty sure it was definitely just a really stupid adult.
You’re not the only one… I still have no idea to what or whom this elusive “them” is referring.
I know!! I read it over a couple of times, trying to work out the “them” reference. IS it the authorities? It is the conspiracy theory investigators? Judging by the fact that this person is NOT crazy, perhaps “Them” is all those out there tracking us and making sure we are doing the right thing, you know the ones we’re supposed to line our windows with tin foil and hang paper clip strings from everything to confuse the microwaves they use to track us.
I truly hope this isn’t a fake, someone just trying to be crazy to get on the site. Or would that be better…. you know, for humanity….?
Who is “them”?
“They” are them.
They are MANY.
I AM THEM
Punctuation and spell checker, anyone?
I don’t know about crazy so much as old-fashioned dumb
What’s the difference?
This sounds like an email from my high school boyfriend. He stalked me for months after I broke up with him. It was really scary. I saved his notes, just in case I needed evidence someday. It’s been 20 years and I haven’t needed them, thankfully. But I was cleaning out my basement and found the box full of these crazy notes–and they sounded JUST LIKE THIS ONE. It send chills just reading them. Nothing creepier than rants written in a blind rage from someone with a small IQ and little command of the English language.
You had email twenty years ago?
I did.
BBS, anyone?
…I didn’t see the word “email” in her comment anywhere….just “notes” which she specified putting in a box. I don’t keep my emails in a box. Just an inbox.
oh wait, I see what you mean. The way she was talking about this email makes it sound like she means the email is from her boyfriend. I redact my previous comment.
i thought it was a 13 year old whiny boy
I had email 18 years ago, it wasn’t particularly new then, and being English we kinda got the internet late.
I had one of those too… Makes me wonder how many crazy stalker high school boyfriends there are in the world.
Unless I’m mistaken, this could not be “autism girl” because this email was sent before her “mind” was published here.
“…to send to them if you dont stop…”
Who is the “them”? The people in his head? lol
Jiminy Cricketts! Whoever wrote this is Crazy as a bag of Mexican jumping wrenches.
HAR!!
“Mexican Jumping Wrenches” up there with “Mad as a bag of hammers”.
Thanks!
This is the greatest letter ever written.
First of all, I love the ominous “them” that comes into the last paragraph, completely unexplained. I’d love to know why, exactly, he doesn’t like to talk to “them” anymore.
Secondly, this site doesn’t violate the right to have free minds. We all think some pretty weird stuff in our heads. The difference is that we don’t all put it into an email. That’s where the crazy comes in.
because “they” threatened to throw his whiny tush in jail if he called again
I’m not crazy.
I’m Prozac snorting, small animal processing INSANE!
!
And I love reading other crazy peoples’ emails
*ahem*
…And maybe one day… just one day, I’ll be featured anonymously on the front page… I’ll be sure to buy a straight jacket and throw icecicles at anyone who tries to stop me from using it before then.
OOOoh I want to play too.Can i throw stuff with you?
One time when I was drunk, I took a picture of my limp p**** on a friends camera. I hope he posted it all over the internet!
charlie manson used to be so much more coherent
“Thats not fair plus its illegal. Believe me, I know. Ive stopped many people from doing this to me and helped other people too. LOTS of other people.”
Apparently it is popular to read ‘her/his’ emails and send them on for others entertainment, i wonder if they sound like William Shatner,with,all,the,commas,in,the,sentence.
Sounds like the Dodge Van of Truth lady has your number.
You’re breaking the law and you should be punished by receiving more emails directly from crazy people. Word stew! This is like being threatened to be bit to death by someone with no teeth. I love it.
This sounds exactly like my mother in law!!! I swear that woman is mentally ill.
He has been there…
Don’t screw around, because he can play the game too, and how will you like it then?
Oh and he will contact THEM. He doesn’t like talking to THEM anymore, but he will do it!
Did anyone else imagine an old guy in a dark room with a tinfoil hat? LOL
I agree with the sentiments in the letter. I wrote something to this website saying similar things, although perhaps mine was phrased better. It’s funny, I haven’t received a reply. I wonder why that is?
I’m imprisoned.
Seriously? Half the shit on this website, emails from these supposed (I say supposed only because stupidity doesn’t count as a mental illness) crazy people – it’s offensive not because it’s imprisoning minds or offending the mentally ill. They’re posted BECAUSE of how ridiculously offensive they are to the recipient.
And sometimes, it’s hilarious.
Hard to believe there are those who would stand up for the deranged perverts, pedophiles, and bible thumpers in a situation like this.
Hmm…Is it wrong to put those three types of people on the same level?
Haha.
I’m bipolar w/psychotic features and I love this site. I even submitted some stuff from when I was off meds.
Crazy is funny to the sane. When you’re crazy, you make fun of the sane. I guess there aren’t enough crazy webmasters for those websites…
Well de voice’s helped but yes it is all our own work.
