For some reason, I was put on their mailing list and this person is refusing to take me off of it. Now escalated by telling me I am rude for asking three times to be removed from their lists. If you use them you may wish to reconsider that decision.

Indeed. I have had that happen too, but usually I had signed up on the first place. After unsubscribing, when t continued, I just marked them as spam and got rid of them that way.
But, for some reason, some publicity folks have added my name and address to their campaigns and then flood me with their crap that has nothing to do with anything I do. There was this idiot. Then there was some idiot representing the Surfside Condos did that and then had the nerve to lecture me about my attitude when I politely asked her to remove me from her lists. The cool thing was she was stupid enough to include somebody's email at City Hall who I could later email separately and point out that they were wasting taxpayer dollars on clearly a worthless PR firm. I noted this was the kind of thing a newspaper might be interested in. I then forwarded the whole mess to the Miami Herald, New York Times, Tampa Tribune, and a couple of other papers.
There have been others. Not sure how I got on their marketing lists, but they are wasting their money and time.
As are the book publicists pushing horror novels at me. Not happening.
Isn't this annoying? I have had groups say I was removed but continue to send me email spam. Arrrgggghhh!
