Re: online threat

Well, Kudos for digging into this further, that certainly adds some perspective to it. So the admin is pissed off because your son did a reply all. He clearly admits screwing up by sending open to all. Yes, the proper thing to do was to notify the admin of his obvious mistake. All the other recipients will already know from the delivery format that the list was open. Your son made an error in good judgement. The admin made several errors in good judgement. There still was no violation of the HB 5915, and I do not believe the original message. He is pissed off at having his nose rubbed in it. A reasonable and intelligent response should end this.

Again, thanks for getting the whole story, that says a lot about your integrity.

threatened

@server.lu

Kids don't always tell the truth to their parents. Shocking, I know. When my kid told me the story I asked him 5 times to repeat it and show me the emails. Well, he showed me the ones he wanted me to see. I use SentryAtHome Parental Controls to check on his web usage and I backtracked all of his surfing and found his gmails. He then gave me his laptop and I found all of the original emails that the mazdaforum and my kid sent back and forth. One of the funny things is that the mazda guy has my son's best friend's isp info because he signed up on the forum during a laptop gaming party at his friend's house.

Both of them are wrong but the adult forum owner should not have threatened my kid especially after my kid told him he was only 15 years old. My kid said the forum sucked so bad he never even posted there.

Thanks for your replies and your answers to my questions.

You are welcome, and I agree. Your son being upset that the admin revealed his and all the members email addresses is valid.

You may be generous in classifying the admin as an adult. The most egregious event here was that message that he sent. That fabrication and ultimatum for money, in writing no less, could land him in a lot of trouble.

Time to reel in a few of his privileges for not being up front with you.
