X2!!!

Sorry ree. I would report it to Verizon and see if they take their policy seriously. Then pay for a ticket for Drtyfn to go knock on their door. "I understand there's a person living here that has something to say about my friend and the car he/she drives. Could I have a word with them please?":OWNED:

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

I'd ignore it. Seems like just another looooooser !!

Actually I'm glad I live and drive my Hummer in Belgium (Europe). Have been drivin' it for a year now, and I have not received one negative comment, gesture, remark, ... yet. Everyone seems to love it (It's an extremely rare vehicle over here).

I would report it to make a statement back that you just can't abuse the use of the internet and threaten anyone. Even if it is questionable. What might be next? Stop it now at this level.

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

I agree with Phil. Tell them thank you for their constructive criticism and continue you on with your day. That'll piss them off more than anything when you are nice in return to their negative comments.

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

Are you kidding me? You obviously don't know what he's talking about. This is not a threat at all. Ignore it and move on. The guy is an idiot at best as is proven by his dispensational theology. But he's talking about wanting to do an "I told ya so" after the rapture. This is not directed as a threat, no more than saying "I hope you fall off a cliff".

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

You really would have to read deep into that for it to be a threat wouldn't you?:(

That is not a threat IMO, just someone ranting and raving. He prob forgot he even sent you the email by now....

"**** you and your piece of **** hummer, I outta shove it up your ass"

"I'm gonna find you and stick your hummer up your ass"

"your dead **** head"

those are threats.......You are reading into it waaaay to much.

exactly, just written with a little more thought...;)

Dude,

Forget the FBI, I doubt you'll get any assistance from them.

I am a Federal Agent and a Computer Forensic Agent for DHS. PM me and we can disucss a few options. Oh, and I'm in Baltimore!

In all probability it's harmless. The fact that s/he would be linked to democrats, is consistent with other examples of their preaching tolerance...while being totally intolerant of those that have opposing views to their own.

About the only religious group that it is excepted to dis nowadays without shots being fired, is of course Christianity. However, your option 'b' might be an angle to pursue that might create a bit of panic in the individual. If you make the case that you feel this person is harrasing and trying to intimidate you because of your religion (whether you are a Christian or not), and you are "considering" going to the feds with your concerns, it might just generate a response from Verizon to the perp.

At the very least, you may get some sort of satisfaction from it and the dude/dudette may think twice before they spout off again. Let us know what you end up doing.

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

Sounds like Matt could be just the man to help you out. :clapping:

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

Maybe, but if you read the poster's message backwards, it says "I'm a Hummer-hatin' ghey satan boy, and I'm coming to get you." Coincidence?

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

Complaints to the FBI like this gets logged. She develops a pattern of harassment, continues, does something a little bolder down the road and it's all in the system.

The biggest point is. Is that should this be some vague threat and she somehow think Ree needs to be harmed, he took the first step in a he said/she said situation. Which is the most important.

Just like in a local civil matter. First person to call the cops, gets the first benefit of doubt. It's just human nature.

Re: Maybe threatened...
 

Thanks all.

I know it's not really much of a threat if one at all. I mostly wanted to put her in her place by getting Verizon involved. But she seems like enough of a nut case that that will just piss her off. Taking a stand on principal can have its consequences. If I didn't have children, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I've been watching logs and there's no evidence that anyone from that DSL pool has been checking up on me. So I'm just going to leave it alone.

Sorry Drty and Ken ;)
