Thank You Wank Spawns Death Threats
I've received, to date, over 200 emails regarding my post last week on Fandom Wank. (I linked to that pointless wank about saying thank you for avatars.)

These emails have been full of foul language, insults, and threats ranging from computer hacking to physical violence. Some included my real life information. I've reported them, but like that stupid rabbit they just don't quit.

Well, I told the most vocal of my attackers, "Crusader," that I would publish any further emails. Well, here's the latest (cleaned up to be work safe), received today from crusader**@hotmail.com:

SPYYYYLETTA:

U R A ******* ***** ***** & A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH IS 2 GOOD 4 U. U BETRAYED ME & EVERY1. I NO WEAR U LIVE & I NO YOUR PASSED CRIMES. U WILL PAY U RIGHT STUPID FIC 2. DONT ENTER CONTEST U WILL LOSE *****.

CRUSADER

I won't post the headers from the email, as tempting as that may be, but it matches the IP of the foul all-caps post on the original wank. That email, btw, was resent 20 times in case I missed it.

I believe the "contest" in question is a Star Trek Voyager fanfic contest that closes for entries this coming weekend. Gee, guess I'm all scared away, aren't I? Cause, you might all-caps me to death, um, the gods themselves do tremble.

Get a life, Crusader.

When he threatened your life, I was starting to get the impression that he didn't like you.

But when he threatened your contest entry. Whoa, the gloves are OFF now. He means to do you some serious harm!

Man, I love these kinds of hate mailers. "I'm going to kill you! And then I'm going to do something that REALLY hurts!!11one!!"

His/her/its bad grammar and spelling is truly terrifying. I'd sleep with the lights on and the shotgun loaded if I were you.

And for the love of God and all that's holy, don't enter the contest! DON'T ENTER THE CONTEST!!!

How many crimes have you passed, by the way?

Does it hurt much when crimes are passed? You know, like kidney stones?

Holy crap. Maybe you should start blocking their emails.

I NO YOUR PASSED CRIMES

As opposed to your crimes that didn't quite make the grade. ~hides~

Well, I figured it was those crimes she passed on the street, as opposed to those she didn't. But then again, English isn't my mother tongue....

LOL! I think someone is sending you hoax threats, because no one that illiterate could use a computer. I hope. Oh God, the thought that people like that are running around loose on the internet is far scarier than any death threat.

And be flattered that they think your fiction is stupid. It's all those long words like 'you', 'are' and 'for' confusing the poor soul.

I'd love to believe, in my heart, that no one that illiterate could use a computer... But then, I've read forum posts for RPGs.

I suspect it's a hoax. Those actually in the fandom, while often impressively wanky to each other, are a fairly literate bunch. So I suspect the grammar and spelling are purposely bad.

(sorry, pre-emptively hit post)

as i was saying, that's almost as entertaining as their "EVERY1 WITH A BRIAN" comment in last week's wank.

my question to this individual- i have a friend named brian, does that count?

And just when I thought we'd scraped the bottom of the loser barrel, someone pokes their head up and says 'I'm even further down!'

We should really take away their shovels.

Do you smell that? death threads son, nothing else in the world smells like that, that sour, sad smell, I love the smell of death threads in the morning, you know one time we had a flame, for 20 resends and when it was over I walked up there, we didn't find one of them, but that smell, the hole mailbox... smelled like... wankery

I doubt he could -spell- Death Threat much less actually go through with it.

And oh heaven forbid he should try to read a map much less comprehend it, the endearing little fenk menkie. *cheek pinches*

For some reason, the combination of caps and netspeak in a death threat is possibly one of the funniest things I've ever read. Beautiful.

You should report him, if you haven't done so already. Most ISPs have pretty strict rules about people harassing others online.
