Her T is going FAR away for over a week. And someone emailed her that she should be sliced into pieces and stirfried. That's just not helpful. This is why Emmy's T has told her to stay offline.

That's a horrible thing to have happened to you. I would consider that harassment. Make sure you save everything this person sends you. You might need to use it as evidence.

I'm sorry Emmy. Do what you need to do to keep yourself safe. Therapists have this way of disappearing when we most need them don't they?

Emmy, I'm so sorry. What rotten timing for your T to be going away right now. And I'm sorry that so soon after you came back (yippee!) you were reminded of the reasons for your T's warning.
Wanna go play with the dogs and then cuddle up with a nice cup of tea?
Take care. You know where to find me, and I'm not going away this week. I'm not your T, but I do care.

Aww Emmy
That's sickening.
Why would someone do that to *you* of all people.
Not that anyone deserves it.
It's hard to get that at work (I assume you must, I did too) and then get it here too.I'm sorry.
I wish I could spirit you away to someplace safe.

Damn! That's some scary *ss sh*t! Is this at work? If so, you should immediately print that out and take to either your supervisor or HR. (I'm assuming you're talking about yourself in 3rd person). If this is at home I would consider going to the cops about this. Do you know who the person is? That's just not a normal thing for a person to say to another. It's just plain disturbing.

Consider the source, though, right? You know that the person involved was -- um, OK, I can't think of a way of saying this while staying within the civility guidelines of this site, so I won't try to complete that thought. Just -- consider the source.
But now that I've said that, I'll also say that you certainly don't deserve any such thing. You're a smart, talented, well-educated (! CtS !!) woman. You're fabulous. And if I were the sort to hug, I'd hug you now.
(You know who seems to have been given the same advice to stay offline, and I miss him. I'd hate to miss you, too...)

That is really sick and disturbing. Im really sorry you had to get that email. As Texaschic said, I'd take a threat like that very seriously, and if you have enough information I'd report them immediately. Just remember, a person who can say something like that most probably has a lot of problems, hopefully you aren't taking it personally.

Thank you to everyone who posted here and on GG's PD thread. All support was welcome and kinda needed. I'm not so good at expressing "yes, I need help!" moments. I'm working on it.
Your posts meant a lot to me and overwrote any negative words I read. Thank you for that! Feeling better now cuz you guys helped. I gotta remember this...need help, post it, then read help offered, feel better. Got it. D'oh.

Emmy may have been referring to another Babbler, so although I'm glad she's receiving a lot of support, I'd like at the same time to remind everyone not to post anything that could lead another poster to feel accused or put down.

**** Dr Bob - Emmy WILL tell her T the truth as she always does. For many years, he has suggested I stay away from Babble. He is not PC illiterate - far from it. And, he has been to this site when a poster who was threatening suicide used to post here. Since then, he has suggested that it's not the best site for me.Em

Sorry Dr. Bob. There's a fine line between supporting Emmy and putting someone down or accusing someone.
It's nice to know that you protect everyone here, no matter how they act.
Would it be safe to assume that if someone here said I was harassing you when I e-mailed you threats, that that would be considered uncivil?
I love you Bob.

I guess I just assumed it was a non-babbler. Sorry about that.
But I have to wonder, hypothetically, how would you respond to post where a person had their life threatened? Especially when its unclear whether or not they realize that it WAS a threat against their life and a very serious situation? Should we perhaps babblemail our responses?
I know you might redirect this to admin, but I wanted my original question to be here so the others would know to go there if they were wondering the same thing.
BTW, I tried to stay within the guidelines with everything I said above. I'm sure you'll let me know if I didn't.

Yikes!
It's horrible you got such an awful email.
And it's sad, so very sad.
Two people, both hurt, both reacting to hurt.
Like we all do.
Take care of yourself.
