NOTE: I am very disturbed by the content of some "private" emails which have been shared with me privately and in our forum.
HOWEVER, I would like to remind participants that it is a violation of list rules to post "private" email to the list without permission of the author - and this rule is being enforced. It is also a violation of list policy to post complaints about other list members to the list.
Once again, here are my suggestions about how to handle offensive or threatening "private" emails: -------------------------------------------------
#1) If you feel threatened by a private email from someone on our list, please contact the police or other public safety authorities!
#2) Contact the ISP (internet service provider) of the offending party and ask them to take action.
#3) Ask your own ISP about how to filter email from the individual in question out of your email box. You can do this yourself within your email software.
#4) Attempt to resolve the situation with the person in question, privately.
#5) Contact the list manager in private to discuss the situation.
-------------------------------------------------
PLEASE: DO NOT use our public forum as a means of dealing with this issue.
Forwarding or reporting this kind of email in our public forum generally has the result of further inflaming the situation as opposed to bringing it to any kind of resolution.
If you have questions or suggestions about this email, please contact Tim Erickson (privately) at 651-246-5045.
