How anyone could care about you is beyond our wildest imagination. You smell, your hideous to look at. For all the pain you have inflicted on others your relationships will forever crash and burn, and we will all laugh at your despair. Eventually you also will wither and die, from the diseases you have contracted. In your lonely grave you will spend all of eternity unloved and damned, like you should be. May God have mercy on your soul you fucking whore. This was sent to my school account, which I use here and nowhere else. Nowhere. I don’t know anyone named Jeremy Price. A very quick Yahoo search turned up nothing of any use. The e-mail address is from a free account, which, if he hasn’t lost it already, will be lost after I toy with it for a while. Those of you who know something about computers might check the headers…it looks to me like whoever it is is making no attempt to hide their identity, other than the free e-mail account. Is anyone else getting mails like this? Mods, do you have this e-mail address anywhere on record as belonging to a poster?

Well, his spelling is shitty, he’s got no creativity (“You smell”?), and he’s probably on something (only drugs can get someone to mention “God” and “fucking whore” in the same sentence). Free E-mail account or not, wouldn’t they have his IP address on file? Just show 'em the E-mail and get the little pube-choker in some deep shit. ---

I wonder what the “our” was about? Was it from one person? I can’t imagine why anyone would send such a piece of trash to anyone. It didn’t even make a point; what this person is offended by, why s/he is angry? The time (already October 1st in that part of the world) and the Egyptian address, are interesting, also. Sorry this had to happen to you, Drain Bead. Let’s hope this is the last of it. ---

I’m curious why you opened an email with the subject “slut.” I would’ve assumed it was pornospam and deleted it unopened. Gosh, I wonder how many nasty missives directed towards me I’ve missed out on! Let that be a lesson to you troll emailers, don’t let your misspelled, illiterate nonsense be wasted because of a giveaway subject line! :rolleyes: BTW: “you smell?” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ouch! What a zinger! ---

> [@](#): > > [sub]Anyone know anything (illegal or not) that I can use to make this scrotum’s life miserable?[/sub] I assume your anger over this cowardly email has momentarily clouded your judgement, Drain.

Drain- Who cares who the jerk is? It is certainly not anyone who knows you. Why should you care if some idiot calls you names? You have credibility on this board, and lots and lots of friends. If this turkey is a registered member, it is most certainly a troll, and will be gone really soon. Anyone this nasty will dig it’s own grave. It is a given. Scotti ---

Mods HAVE to talk that way. 😉 I can only guess what he’s cooking up in his heart of hearts. And **Scotti** , I care who it is and want him stopped.

Yes, dropzone. It should be stopped. I just didn’t want Drainy to think that anyone who matters on this board was responsible. And since I don’t have a clue how to stop something like this, I thought it would be best for her to let it go. If you can figure out a way to stop this jerk, I commend you. I applaud you. I wish I was more computer savvy, and could contribute to doing this. Carry on, hopefully with good results. Scotti ---

You gotta look on the bright side with stuff like this, **Drain Bead** –somehow or other you pissed off an asshole. Good job in a worthwhile cause. And… **Alpha** , I’m sure she was kidding about the “illegal or not” thing, since I’m sure she knows that any kind of criminal charge can come back to haunt you when it comes time for admission to the bar. ---

I wouldn’t spend another minute trying to find out who did it, why and how to get revenge. He probably just wanted your attention, which you have now provided him. Hit the “delete” key and be done with it. Block his address from your e-mail account. But, for pete’s sake, don’t give him the benefit of being upset. Because, frankly, a person who would send such a vile thing, especially under the veil of anonymity, simply isn’t worthy of your valuable time. ---

Sorry you got this, DB. All the advice sounds good but the only think that I find worrying (unless I missed something) is; how did he know you were female ? ---

Well, it’s not like I make my gender some big secret around here. Anyone who lurks is going to figure out I’m female within a few seconds. It’s not that I’m too incredibly angry about this, for those of you who say I shouldn’t care. I’m rather confused–the use of the first person plural seemed curious to me as well, and I don’t know of anyone who would have wanted to send this to me. I posted this so the mods could get a look at it, and perhaps if someone else had gotten a similar e-mail, they might come forward. ---

Only mentioned the female thing because someone suggested it was a general statement i.e. non-specific, but it clearly is specific. The person needs a password to access their free e-mail address so presumably there is/was a cookie sitting on their hard drive and, also, info with the free e-mail provider. The providers also claim a spam policy so they would likely assist in this kind of situation. Regardless of the screen name, if it turns into a problem I believe the person can be traced and identified. In the mean time, I’d be interested in any posters who have shown an interest in anything Egypt / Pyramids related as the e-mail facility appears to be just an add-on for a rather nifty site about that stuff. The person is unlikely to have just chanced across the site, they probably have a keen interest. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thanks-for-the-e-mail-jeremy/35161.md?page=2)
