Invasion of privacy o/t

Post by Lizard »

A person has managed to obtain my personal/business e.mail addy.
Now! there are folk on here I know have that address, and thats no problem, I trust and like them and they know who they are.
The person concerned has been sent a warning (polite)not to do this again, and hopefully that will be the end of the matter.
As I type this I,m not sure if the offending shithead frequents this site, but I will know! no matter what guise is used, so please think before you send me any more crap,or I will let loose my techie, who will cause you to buy a new PC every week
as long as you use the same phone line.
No offence to all here who know me and my business.

Nuff said.

It is fair to give any offending/offensive person ONE warning.
If not regarded, let loose the hounds(in your case, electronic).
Have no qualms when they bleat and moan afterwards, remember-they offended you first, completely unsolicited-and you gave them the one warning.
After that, all bets are off.

Sending e-mails is a difficult thing. I always try to be circumspect when sending. For example, I will keep the subject line "clean" and innocuous. This way, even if seen by a third party, no offence can be taken. I also try to always use the reply button. This way at least you can be sure that the address you are sending to has been "cleared" by the recipient. One thing, though. I have noticed a couple of times on this board that people use different e-mail addresses under the their red names, either by accident or design. Be careful that your "wrong" address isn't used when posting, its all too easy to type your more common address by accident!
