Don't you feel sorry for some people sometimes?
This morning I got a lovely abusive enquiry via my company's website from somebody on BE.
It did make me laugh but I do feel sorry for them too. There's obviously something fairly wrong with them if they feel the need to waste their time like that and send anonymous abuse rather than having the courage to contact me directly with any issues, and they're clearly not even bright enough to realise that I would figure out in about two minutes who sent it (checking website tracking and compare IP address with that of suspects on here - bingo!). So I know exactly who it was anyway!
Ah well, I'm off on hols for two weeks tomorrow anyway but it will no doubt make me chuckle whilst I'm away!
Be good boys and girls, Iain and Ray will keep you in line I'm sure, and try not to miss me too much.

How sad people can be at times. I know you guys have a sh1tty job being mods - I would never in a million years wanna do it. But for someone to stoop that low, mmmmm sad people is all I can say.

I think she's just letting people know they can be traced really easily, so while they think they are anonymous, they're not really.

Re: Don't you feel sorry for some people sometimes?
But I just found it very amusing this morning, partly that somebody was sad enough to actually spend time looking at my website and sending silly messages, but also that they did it anonymously, rather than sending a PM, thinking that they'd not be found out - doh!!
Had to share it on the mods forum too, this is my first bit of 'hate mail' and the other mods have had various incidents of similar stuff, so now I feel like I belong and must be doing a good job.
And on the other side, I also had a lovely PM a couple of days ago from a senior member saying what a fab job I was doing. Just goes to show, you can't please all of the people all of the time.
