ORIGINAL: Pyrrsefanie I'm just wondering, how common is it to get threatening/degrading/otherwise just plain cruel and offensive emails through this site? I'm not talking about the "On your knees!" phenomenon but more along the lines of "get the f*ck out of here you stupid bitch" messages, completely unsolicited. For a while, I used to respond to things on the boards I thought were stupid to try to reason them out. Then, I had some sense and reasoned with myself that not everyone cares to be rational about things, and stopped. Still, when I did, I got a good bit of hate mail. Some of it pretty.. well, yeah, like that. Still, I haven't gotten much (any?) from some random person, so far as I can remember. It sounds like something to report for sure. quote:
ORIGINAL: Pyrrsefanie Feeling a bit shaken up because I just got spammed with a bunch of them from someone I've never spoken to before or even seen around... I reported the messages already, but I'm wondering if this is something that happens a lot? Two things. 1. No, it's not that common. 2. *Hugs.* You'll be good. I think a lot of sadism comes from people just being angry at the world in general, and we're a site for, at least in part, sadomacism, so we probably attract more than a fair number of angry people. Reporting, then avoiding, is probably the best solution when you encounter one of them in such a manner online.
