I've deleted my rant, at the advice of several people who suggested I was only letting the troll win. They were, of course, right. Trolls feed on anger. A bunch of crazy things were going on in the background while I was trying to compose that, phone calls, company, Skype calls... topped off with being grumpy in general and the fact that it was really, really late. It wasn't really the content of the emails that bugged me, it was that they followed up the nastiness we'd had from (now deleted) forum members. There is a difference, maybe a subspecies of troll, that does its trollery by email. In my haze of sleepiness I think perhaps I was exposing the sepsis to light, but that kind of anger doesn't respond to sunlight.
I hereby declare a day of feasting and music. I'm going back to bed though. As the timestamp would have indicated, I was up to 6 am doing this and that.

A glitch in my cool,
why be such a fool
abused like tool
hammer to nail
no wonder it failed
hate, love and lies
blood shot eyes
cake in my pie
a coke and some fries
the wicked they whine
their life is a crime
no where to shit
they create an odorous pit
the end

If I were you I would have just sent him a reply saying something along the lines of :
"GOODBYE fucker!"© - HumbleHarper
But that's just me.

Hey Nate, and all, I'm glad I got a chance to read the thread before it was deleted. Sorry for your trouble. Nice to be part of this community. Glad it wasn't me!

Just an update, he's sent me five more obnoxious emails since. Apparently I'm a rockstar in his little troll world. :)

I read it, but the device I was using at that time did not lend itself to responding. Let me take this opportunity to say thanks to you and everyone else who invests their time (time is money) providing this free service.

Nate, I just responded on another thread, but I just want to say thanks for all your fine efforts here on MBH. I have to admit I laughed out loud when I read the troll's message and your response. Quite entertaining--I think my response would have been much worse. Keep smilin'

Yeah, Nate. Really appreciate your work, in front and behind the scenes.
Maybe you can get a song out of the experience. Frank has one I see. Here's a limerick.
There once was an internet troll Whose ego was terribly swole He stirred up poor Nate With his emails of hate That space wasting cyber A-hole

Even the thread about the thread about the thread re:insults is getting a slow viral treatment.
Ahh, human nature.
