restraining order with emails ?

[mike2010]

I have extreme hatred towards one of my family members and I've told the person not to email me anymore...years ago.

the person still likes to nitpick and play mind games with me from time to time and im seriously DONE with this sht.

Its AMAZING how much more emails can enrage us...compared to just talking to them. When you talk to them, you can get OUT your rage and how your feeling. With emails they can let anything slip through.. I swear email / internet is turning so many more people into sociopaths & narcissists these days.

What can I do to prevent this person from emailing me anymore ? If I just block the person's email address, they'll use another one. and im not down with that. I'd rather something legally get done here.

Because the person does not listen or agnolige what im saying. (its not sinking in) The person has serious OCD issues.

What type of legal action can I threaten them with if they continue ?

The person is a blood / blood family member...not a spouse or anything. So getting a restraining order against someone within my family sounds pretty dumb I think.

I just dont want this person to communicate with me again...ever.

any help is appreciated.

Just block the emails, ignore the emails, or delete the emails without reading them, Mike. If you don't read, respond or react, you have solved your problem.

There is no legal action here worth considering.

Mike, you can block the person, or delete without reading, but another suggestion would be to open another email acct (and not let this person know the addy, of course) – only let people know who you want to hear from. Then – and here comes the fun part – go into your mail options and create a ‘vacation block’ and renew it every 6 months or so. They will receive an auto reply saying you’re unavailable until (whenever), and you can write a creative personalized message if ya get my drift. . . (Drop dead, or whatever)

Like spam, it’s not worth getting worked up about and certainly not worth the trouble of a restrainng order.

Its hard to explain the type of abuse just from emails. But i've had a chronic illness for 10 years now and I have no tolerance for this person at all in my life.

I guess the better way to ask this question is , can something like this be implemented in a restraining order ? (preventing email being sent to me from them) It probably sounds silly to some people, but this person is psychotic and doesnt understand the type of pain it is causing.

mike, could you please go to your profile and change your settings to open up your PMs? (Go to User CP at top left, and click. Then go to settings and options, edit options, and check enable private messaging). Let me know here after you do that. Thanks.

Done. Im surprised that isnt enabled by default. For most forums it is.

Okay. Check your PMs.
