Very childish.

Use the 'delete' key - that's what it's there for.

My system is protected by Norton AntiVirus... I also received the email in question. It was not infected, and I was grateful for the timely warning. The lack of a link to verify that it wasn't a hoax was a little unfortunate, though.

If anyone wants to stop unwanted emails, the most effective way is to automatically 'forward' them back to the sender - they'll soon get the message.

Attempts at public humiliation of this kind is crass and insensitive, particularly when using such strong language.

However angry, justifiably or not, this is simply inexcusable. You are forcing everyone who inadvertently stumbles across this thread - including children, don't forget - to read language they may prefer to avoid. That is exactly the violation of human rights you claim to be complaining about, but greatly magnified.

Please don't do it again.
