Really?? A Sociopath?? Are you ill?? :huh:
She asked for mean emails and I gave her one.
If someone keeps their Facebook logged on in the Apple store and some kid updates their status to "I'm gay" or sends a few random messages, are they sociopaths? (maybe their boss is on their FL)
Honestly, I'm surprised by all the reactions to this as I thought it was hilarious, and if I sound like a sociopath to you, I also find you hilarious.
I guess I win the meanest email game! Annd.. I'm done talking about this.
However, I think the bigger issue here is all of the things that could have gone wrong with such a prank, and the idea that you consider the notion thereof, "funny." I'm all for a good joke on a friend, in which absolutely no damage occurs. However, the fable you outlined above simply establishes an act of random cruelty on a complete stranger. And, regardless of whether or not you actually did it... it makes you "giggle" for some reason.
Your notion falls into the same category of putting nails under a stranger's tire. It's simply not that funny, yet carries tremendous risk of something going severely wrong and putting an innocent person in serious peril.
As for your legal justification, you clearly made that up. You might want to go with the whole "I made it up to be funny on a forum" schtick as well, because it was technically a crime. Actually, multiple crimes on both a federal and state level.
But hey, it's not like any prosecutors that specialize in Internet crime frequent this site... right?
Happy Wednesday.
^^ he speaks the truth0 -
Yes, but Section 12, B, ii, of the internet freedom act states that anyone who leaves their email open on a public computer has authorized any person to send emails on their behalf
Well I guess you only have one joke, since this is identical to your post in the thread asking for advice on interview questions. That aside, what you did was incredibly stupid and potentially seriously damaging to that persons' professional relationship. And admitting to it as a amusing anecdote about yourself and your friends is equally appalling. Gay jokes are just SOOOO funny, aren't they? :noway:
Seriously? I doubt a bunch of 18 year old girls sending an email from someones account damaged their professional relationship. A simple "I didn't send that email, I left my account open at the hotel" would fix that problem. So lighten up. Yes, it's funny, and I wish I could have seen the end result.

I sent a message on FB to an ex who after years of bullying me in middle school, finally stopped and started being nice to me long enough for us to date...and then once we were dating the bullying started again (in high school.) When I met my fiance now he tried to leave a comment on my fiances blog saying some nasty things under a fake name, but my fiance could see his IP address and we figured out it was him (wasn't hard.) Anyway, not long after that he sent me a FR on FB and I basically told him (in much nastier words) hell to the no.0

A little melodromatic I think? If someone sent you an email completely out of character it's only common sense to question it, and discover the prank. I think the possibility that damage was done is relatively nil.
Say for example, she looked up child porn using his information, then I think your analogy would have more merit. Though in that case a more extreme analogy may be required lol.0 -

I work for an IT security software firm, and have seen just about every kind of password/email exchange. This? It's not funny.0 -
Well... basically I went off on a drug using, prostituting friend via email once. But only because we never talked on the phone and she was a country away.
After hearing about her latest binge I just kind of lost my cool.
I mean, seriously, don't come to me crying every single week about how horribly you've messed up, just to go back to the drugs and make the same mistakes all over again. After all I start to lose sympathy.
In my defense I was still pretty young at the time. I don't think I'd do the same if the same situation happened to me now.0 -

Additionally, people who represent themselves in legal matters that clearly have absolutely no clue as to the sh!tstorm they're stirring-up, and the utter catastrophic detriment to which they have exposed the rest of their tiny existence... amuse me greatly.0 -
This wasnt an email sent to someone but just as messed up:
A guy I worked with once left his employee log in page turned on at a computer at work and someone came behind him and put his entire paycheck into his 401K. Took the poor guy 9 weeks without pay to get it set straight. We never found out who it was but he/they would have gotten a pretty serious beat down, lol. Im sure that person thought it was really funny...NOT!0 -
Sent one to my birth mother, saying that she was never fit to be a mother. She responded with she never wanted me since the day I was born. I think hers was meaner =b
I think both of these qualify for the thread topic. Wow.0 -
Meanest email I have ever sent was to tell my dads' girlfriend (now deceased) neice that she is a *kitten* and a hypocrite.
When we were 14, she would sneak into our house when no one was home to have sex with different men (over the age of 18)...0 -
sociopath: lacking moral responsibility, social conscience, the utter inability to empathize with human suffering. not always criminal, but in this case, probably was.
looks spot on to me.
that said, the thread did ask for the MEANEST email...i think she wins. IF being a sociopath in addition to that 4 (or 5) letter "c" word mentioned above is winning, that is.0 -
An old ex-friend who stole from me and who shot his dog dead because it was behaving badly after being caged and malnourished tried to send me a friend request on FB.
I mailed him back a three-page letter on why he sucks and told him if he sees me in public to walk the other way, preferably into traffic.
LMAO!!0 -
I prefer to insult via face to face or subliminal message, that way it can't be thrown in my face later0

Your indirect legal threats amuse me :laugh:0 -

A more "melodramatic" analogy would be sexually assaulting someone, then claiming that the act was "a prank" at your defense trial.
Good luck with that.Say for example, she looked up child porn using his information, then I think your analogy would have more merit. Though in that case a more extreme analogy may be required lol.
All hilarious by the way.

My girlfriends and I were staying in a hotel with a computer in the lobby, a guy forgot to log out of his work email. We responded to a work related email, coming out of the closet and confessing our love to their (i think) boss. hehe
-Finds humor in potentially ruining someone's livelihood, yet you posted in another thread that bullying is a serious problem that needs resolved.
You know, I was thinking the same thing.0 -
Some of you people are way too dramatic.
I can't think of any mean emails that I've sent though. At least some of these were fun to read.0
