I could delete; that's what I do with all of the emails regarding stashes of secret Nigerian money, low-priced pharmaceuticals, and making millions while you sleep. But those are sent by false email addresses to names on mailing lists that someone has bought; responding to them wouldn't do any good anyway.
But those who perpetuate urban myths and other lies do need some lessons, and since they'd rather hit "Forward" than do any actual research, then it's up to me to be their teacher. They might think it's OK to spread lies; I'd be appalled even if they left me out of it, but since they don't, they've left themselves open to return emails.
I would think a teacher would be interested in people knowing facts, but I come from a time and/or place where teaching was a noble profession. Back then people became teachers because they valued education and all it had to offer, and they cared about the differences between right and wrong. Obviously, you have a different viewpoint; how sad for so many shortchanged students that you decided to become a teacher, too.
By the way, thanks for singling me out when at least two other posters also responded favorably to the "gullibility virus" post; it did not go unnoticed. Did you play favorites in class, too? Just one more example of shortchanging your students….
