Wish you were dead email...

[D.H. Jenkins]

Does anyone know what constitutes a threatenting (actionable) email?

I really want to tell my grandfather's former publisher how I feel, but I don't want to get arrested telling the thieving cunts that I wished they were dead in horribly graphic detail, a la Jimmy Norton.

I really hate these people, and I'm not even a 'hater' kind of guy. I believe that hate is counterproductive and diverts focus from higher pursuits. Of course, I also believe that hunting these cocksuckers down one by one and splitting them open with my 12" Wusthof and dancing in their entrails would be a perfectly acceptable hobby, especially since I wear Danner boots.

Any informed thoughts?

[CousinDave]

its probably a reasonable person standard

what would a reasonable person think is a threat

[kidconnor]

put nothing on paper, email, voice mail, text message, any kind of message, over the phone, or in front of crowds.

Speak one on one in whispered, creepy, tones.

Always.

[CougarHunter]

I like Danner's. Good treads on them with the flat heel. Important when you're dancing in blood. Don't want to slip and fall.

Its better to WISH things on people...personal attacks are illegal... BUT! you can, HEX, JINX & Curse anyone you want.


Tell they you bought a voo doo doll in the Caribean and they Hexed them with Cancer...no one will admit they believe that shit... but, you can guarantee it will be on their mind.

I'm thousands of miles away and I don't have the restraint you do. If I were close enough to whisper, I wouldn't bother with words. This is 6-7 figures we're talking about. He wrote around 50 books - this wasn't a rejected manuscript or something little.

yep, and make sure to hug them tight enough to feel the gun on your belt.

Ok. Since distance is a factor, you can hire an escort to give him a "real life" experience, keep some sort of proof and show his wife. That might cost him more than 6 figures in the divorce, depending on how much he is worth.



What's that movie with Tom Cruise, on the beach with that hot chick? The Firm? Think like that.

[Beeman99]

go to a coffee shop three towns over, start a fake hotmail account, and send the email from that

Is it really even worth it?

DING.DING.DING - We have a winner. This is the best way to send somebody hatemail or to creep them out. Public library works as well.

[sniper2323]

WIFI, baby. Go to a cheaper motel with a laptop. Just park near by. Good to go... Setup your email account, remember no trace. Have fun.

Nothing sends a better message than a decapitated kitten in a box. Their cuteness works in your favor.

Don't do anything you know the old sayin what goes around comes around.

If you haven't already, sully their reputation online (in an honest, but brutal way). Thanks to google's algorithms, if your complaint is made in a site of decent repute, it will ascend the google results for that person's business.

I've seen ads lately like this one for "Web Reputation Repair" or "Internet Reputation Repair", so it's to the point where businesses will pay to try to counter things that can be googled about them.

merely by googling that phone number in that ad, I deduced that it's a wedding photography business that outsources work to local photographers, so that obviously pisses off people on not delivering what its website suggests it can deliver.

also, don't let you're screenname in whatever communcation you choose be tied to this thread.

I'm a writer, and you honestly would make a greater impression on this prick with a strong, well-argued and dignified response listing your problems. If you go ape shit and wish death upon this person, he'll blow it off and chalk it up to a lunatic - but if you thoughtfully destroy his world (while staying within the bounds of the law), it would eat away at him. It's hard to blow off those kind of notes because they tend to be the most devastating.

This is an O+A message board. You're talking to people who write an e-mail of "FRRRRRRRRRRRUNKUS. Your mom's a cunt. Here are cock pics" and think they slammed someone and slammed them good.

but i doubt they do it under their own name

[LiddyRules]

but i doubt they do it under their own name Aidsy McCunt isn't real?

[D.H. Jenkins]

Really, if I wanted to be intelligent about it I'd leak it to them that an heir has missing manuscripts for sale and is in talks with their competitor.

I just want to be a raving cunt without getting into legal trouble, and I don't want to do it anonymously.

Also, I don't want to threaten them - it's more of a "I hope you die in a fire" kind of thing, not me actually promising violence.

I agree with the Prez. I usually stick to the "If there is a just and reasonable God in the universe, you will (drop dead, wrap your car around a pole, etc) sentence structure. Keeps the cops away from me and my big mouth.
