Yes, you are very resourceful, Mike. Too bad imaginary emails can't be traced.

there's another one here that's pretty good. It doesn't trace imaginary ones either, Jen, but if you ever manage get them forwarded to you, this one has some helpful links. Everyone that actually knows you knows you didn't send any emails. You shouldn't put too much time into someone elses problem.

Wonderful resource, Mikey. Maybe if people knew it was this easy they wouldn't start this shit in the first place.

I think a better way to deal with those kinds are to just ram something down their throats to keep them from talking. Ever seen the banquet scene in Taymor's "Titus Andronicus"? Get a really, really big spoon like they used on Saturninus. I don't believe he ever spoke again after that. Very effective and so easy to do.

Do adults actually do stuff like that? It didn’t get left in high school? How utterly pathetic.

to be fair, it IS possible that someone is impersonating Jen and that the emails are not imaginary. Please don't jump on the accusation bandwagon, people. If you do, you're just as bad as they are.

You are absolutely correct anonymous person. I think that the emails should be tracked with Mike’s link. I would imagine they are all saved. If someone was harassing me, I would certainly save the emails. Find out who the impersonator is and everyone should be happy and the world will be right again.

Someone impersonating me? Wow! I must be important! If I had some shred of proof of that, i'd be inclined to believe it.

Sorry. Ok.. someone's impersonating me. Sure thing.

It seems the point of all of this is that someone is either impersonating someone in emails or lying about it. People who spread lies are usually in so much pain they need to create a situation that gives them attention for being a victim and inflict pain onto someone else by disgracing them. But it only causes things to drag on and the pain becomes deeper. Believe it or not the sooner you accept the "scrapes and bruises" that life sometimes inflicts on us the quicker you will heal. Not to mention these acts can have legal repercussions. I suggest seeking therapy and confronting your issues instead of displacing it onto others before it gets you in trouble.

Whether it is one person, or a group of people playing this childish game, the more you react to it the more you will encourage it.

As for Jen and everyone else, feeding into this childish game will only continue to encourage it. If it continues I would take serious efforts to find the source of all of this and concider taking legal action.

while a certain situation did make this catch my eye when I ran across it,
I posted it here because it really is good info to have...
and now I can just search my own blog and find it...

Sorry Mike. I dont think anyone meant that you were doing anything. I'm just frustrated with people coming at me with this crap. My friends are just being protective. We shouldn't have used your blog. Erase it all if you feel the need.
