The Infamous Emails

This whole affair started when I got my Geocities web page. I got the following email from a person who was angry with me for taking the page space they wanted for their own use. Where profanities were used, I've replaced parts of each foul word with dashes, one for each letter that I've replaced, to keep from offending anyone.

Wasn't that a nice greeting for me on first checking my Geocities mail?

BTW, I'd like to point out that he has bad grammar and that he forgot the period after the last sentence.

I emailed the person back and asked him to refrain from threatening me again, and received the following email. All the header information is false to my knowledge, and my reply bounced back. As with the previous message, I've replaced offending wording with strategically placed dashes so I can keep my account.

Are you ok? Didn't you know that threatening people (especially Satanists) can have NASTY repercussions? You must need a ----ing lesson taught and it will be done. Next time you think about threatening someone (especially a Satanist) you'd better think.

Needless to say, I was getting pretty hot by this time. I had emailed the webmaster complaining after receiving the first message, but before getting a reply I got this response from another person.

Okay, so I see a pattern developing here. After that message, I got a reply from the webmaster claiming a child was responsible for this. However, that last message had what appeared to be a legitimate address. When I replied to them, the message went through. The same with the following address from webtv.com. I've complained to their webmaster and abuse line, and they said they would take action against the offender.

Pan is not dead he was only sleeping!We will be equal someday to Christianity and treated with the respect we deserve!

That's the last one I received, and none of the people have carried out any threats against me. Maybe they're just having a hard time finding out where I live. I guess the devil's bad at giving directions.
