I sent an alert last night. A man sent me UNWANTED EMAIL.
I feel what he sent me was a RUDE attack against me.

Does this TOS pertain?
~~> No personal attacks or flaming
Do not personally attack, insult, flame, threaten, bully, harass, stalk, negatively call-out, ascribe ugly ulterior motives to, or make baseless claims about any member of this community. Do not post in a manner that is hostile, abusive, or aggressive toward any member of this community.

1. Yuck

Sorry to hear about your experience.

The TOS rule you quoted applies to posts and replies but not to emails which are private.

Perhaps you could send an email to the Administrators of DU, attaching the offending message.

I hope you have a better weekend!

3. Yuck is right!

Good advice!

I had this happen to me as well.

The person that sent it is no longer a registered user here. I hope.

2. I would think so.

4. You could put the person on Ignore

Or copy the email and send it to one of the MIR members.

8. i already put him on ignore. he can't send me anymore junk mail.

5. I would do all of the above. Block their email and, depending on the severity of the email,

I'd let the admins know. Meaning anything sexist, racist, threatening or creepy. You don't want this person to do the same to someone else.

6. Post in Ask the Admins - "Can I receive some help with an abusive email / DU msg?"

You don't have to say what it is until contacted by an Admin.

They might be able to reprimand or revoke privileges or remove the user.

7. thanks. The Admins suggested I block them. NO --- WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN TO THE OFFENDER.

Thanks for answering my note.
I agree with you. I feel the man sending the rotten email to me is at fault .... NOT ME.

THIS IS WHAT I WROTE BACK the Administrator back :: What i am asking for is for this person to receive some kind of slap on the wrist or whatever
because he harassed me and attacked me via an Unwanted email.
He had the option of sending an alert on my note. BUT NO ..... he sent me a nasty email.

He is an adult and should know he can't attack people. My note was not alerted against I guess but he is calling him self a JUDGE and JURY to attack me.
That is not right. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM.

Folks, I think just telling me to block the nasty emailer, ISN'T GONNA CUT IT. I want what others suggested in above notes.
I WANT THE Nasty Email sender to get a reprimand or revoke privileges or remove the user.

9. the email he sent me .... i didn't ask him to communicate with me.

Are you 12 years old

Are you going to post some pictures of democratic women that haven’t aged well???

I can’t imagine why people on this board still attack people‘s appearance. You can hate her politics but why make fun of her appearance?

Really classy!

10. Well, people said that to you in the thread too.

I’ve received nasty messages in the past. Only thing you can do is block them.

You’ll get over it.
