Go to your email preferences and place a block on that address. It appears the left is so scared they have resorted to such tactics. Guess freedom of speech is their's and their's alone, they figure.

I checked and it looks like that is a valid Yahoo mail ID. I can't find any registation date information on it. It was probably just registered to spam your email box.

Let Yahoo know that they need to shut it down and maybe at the same time they can investigate it. You can report it via the URL below and they can help you follow up. It would be interesting to track it down and see who was sending it and if they were just sending it to you or others:

Oh, one more thing...

Can you post the headers of the email that was sent to you from that Yahoo account. From that, we can see what machine on the Internet was sending the emails.

Delete your own email address out of the headers when you do because there are programs that scan the Internet for email addresses to spam.

If you are using Yahoo Mail, there is a link in the upper right hand corner when you read the email that says:

"Full Headers"

If you click on that, you will get the full email header and that can show you where the email was really sent from.

But before I deleted them I forwarded the messages to Latch

So they're sending out worms, too?

I thought the threatening tone was bad enough. What a bunch of crazy people. Rolling Eyes

Anyway... the user has been reported to yahoo and to his ISP by several people. Let's shut this thread down, as it's a duplicate and concentrate on the main topics.

Thank you everyone for your input.
