Someone denied sending me an email in which he called my children mentally deranged.?

Question

Can I post this email without violating Yahoo TOS or any laws?

Answer 1

you cant post it any where, nor should you other than the abuse forms, which really isn't abuse, but Yahoo may consider it.

don't reply to that nasty e-mail either, it just keeps them agoing

Answer 2

Many people hide behind the anonymity of the Internet.

My suggestion is to ignore the email and move on. You know your situation better than the emailer and if you succumb to a bully and their statements you're just feeding into their behavior.

The cool thing about all this is that if you ignore their statements and not respond, then you're in control of the situation. If you succumb to their hateful comments then they're in control.

Your choice....the greatest revenge in life is to live a successful life.

There would be nothing gained by posting the email on YA except getting yourself a violation notice if somebody reports you for doing that.  Read the Y! TOS for yourself and see what it says.  Is the person using Yahoo email to send you messages? Can you prove he sent it? If not, there's nothing Yahoo can do because it's between you and the person.  If he is, they probably wouldn't do anything about it unless he was threatening you or your kids.

Another thing, why are you posting this in the Yahoo Groups category?  If you both are members of a Yahoo Group, you could complain to the owner but make sure to have proof before making accusations.

Nobody likes to have remarks made about their kids but with people on the internet, it's best to just ignore them, block their email address and do not respond to their bait.  Eventually they will stop and move on to somebody else.
