Have you ever had a hostile email out of the blue for no reason?

Janet · 09-02-10, 14:59

Well I just have, from someone I've never even met. Why? What do people get out of it.

Marion · 09-02-10, 15:01

I take it you mean that you know who they are and they know who you are, rather than just a "spam" email. How distressing for you.

Janet · 09-02-10, 15:03

Yep. A person who knows my identity, and whose I identity I know in turn. But an intenet "aquaintance" I barely know, and had no more than a handful of exchanges with some time ago.

I've had a couple over the years, but I did get apologies that it was sent in error.

Maybe they had beer goggles on, and didn't check who they were sending it to?

Janet · 09-02-10, 15:08

Oh no, directed very much to me. And I know why, I believe.

Why is it always the most "caring", most "emotionally connected" who are the nastiest pieces of work?

Awww, have a hug

Because Janet, they know exactly how to cause you pain

Ironic, given that some of them, like this one, are into "healing" .....

These things are often a cry for help. Unfortunately you invariably get battered when you do try to help.

Best to ignore these fragile souls unless you’re getting the counselling fees.

Filtered now anyway.
