Got a serious problem here with a RW harrasser - I dearly love his
wife, but he is a first class asshole!!!

He has been sending me jokes and crap about Hillary and Obama. I tell him to cool it but he persists on e-mailing me stuff - thinks it is "so funny".

Tonight he really did it!!! Sent a composite photo of Obama on a couch with his arm around a naked Hillary - hands in the wrong places - bordering on porn!! Looks like empty beer bottles on the floor. Sent with the ususal "he he he!"

How do I nail this sorry SOB??? I'm serious!!! This is a fairly small town where people still know people and he was born and raised here. Who do I forward this crap on to, to put his ass in a royal sling? Oh yeah - I'm saving all of his garbage.

1. Block his e-mail address.
Simple.

It doesn't matter if it's a small town.

He'll get the message.

You have to take a stand at some point, right?

Now is the time to stand up!

2. call your local law enforcement
if you are getting porn or what you consider offensive and you have told him to stop it, they can monitor it and maybe go after him or at least scare him into stopping. Tell him you are going to turn him in first and see if he will stop on his own. You might lose a friend but if this is the kind of people you have in your life right now, they aren't worth it. Good luck.

If all else fails, change your email address.....or block him with the one you have....

4. The police aren't going to do a thing and the OP is
friends with this moron's wife. Blocking his e-mail addy would be the easiest thing to do.

16. remember, she will stick with him in the end.....
and you, the friend, will be left out in the cold, but, I still say "threaten him with the police" even if you really don't. I had a problem with a MYSpace account that kids at the school I was subbing at had going and the police documented it. All they did was take down the URL and didn't go to my computer but then again I agree email is a little different. They had six officers involved in my case and it put it to rest right now and the kids all got expelled.

7. embarrass him. Forward his email to the local preacher
and include him in the CC so that he will receive any "reply all" messages.

13. Hah, Reply To Him But Accidentally CC The Town
Make sure you reply rather innocuously with something like "I don't appreciate receiving porn in the mail, please do not send any more."

Follow this up immediately with a "Please excuse my previous email it was copied by mistake" to the town with a CC to the harasser.

14. You can block if you want, but
he'll assume he's won because you stopped replying.

You might try a free e-mail bouncing program. That way you can bounce any of the crap right back to him and fill up HIS mailbox with trash.

22. I dunno...just be careful forwarding things you think are over the line because
then someone could come back on you for forwarding "porn" stuff. I wouldn't play with fire. But, you can print them and show up at his office....

Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 02:35 AM by GreenTea
Republicans planned it this way....infiltrated our party....A "half-breed Negro"....These republican bigots will stop at NOTHING....They want & need their right-wing corporate fascism to continue and they will do ANYTHING to make sure it happens....(Electronic Voting Machines)...This, they believe, (sickeningly enough) is their country to exploit for profit....Again, one must be tough, and make things happen that only YOU can uniquely do.....and shit....ignore the ignorant!

Only then, we'll succeed!!
