The anonymity of the Internet leads to some people (fortunately in the minority) feeling they can be as crude, insulting, and threatening online as they like without fear of consequences. If you feel threatened by emails or chat room messages, do not reply to the message. Keep a copy of all messages sent to you, and inform your Internet Service Provider or the message board moderator. If the threats continue, or develop into offline threats through mail or phone calls, report the matter to the police.
