I got a racist/hate email, help?
I am a white gay man, just recently got out of a relationship. So I put out an add in a popular dating site. I am attracted to men of color so that is what I put in my ad. The first e-mail I got was this, "Stop f--king n**gers you sicko race traitor"
I'm still in shock and appalled. I reported him but he still seems to be active. What else should I do? I'm thinking of just bombarding his inbox thousands of e-mails letting him know what a racist pig he is until he just deletes his profile or better yet goes insane and jumps off a bridge. Any ideas? or should I just leave it alone?
Never said I wanted him dead, I just said I wanted him to jump off a bridge, I assume he would choose a lower bridge with a comfy landing surface.
It's the dating site email, not my own. I have blocked him already. Not sure what that prevents him from doing.

Ignore him. His life's so pathetic that he searches the Internet for people to hate. What's the matter, is he too afraid to approach anyone face to face? If you retaliate you'll just feed his sense of self.

Ignore him. Email bombing may be illegal in your jurisdiction, and is guaranteed to violate the TOS of the site you're using, which means you could be charged or could lose your membership. If you've reported him and they have chosen not to act, you've done all you can.
Don't let the trolls bother you too much, it'll make you more miserable than anything you can do to them.
I'm a white guy married to a non-white. I can't say that I've gotten any flak over it, but if anyone ever had the nerve to say something bad about that, I'd just ignore them. Well, maybe after telling them where to stick it :-)

It is not real smart putting your email address out in the open. You are just asking for the hate mail to come pouring in. I get hate mail sometimes, too, and I just block them. You do know that you can block email addresses, right?
Well then I'll just be blunt. It's not even half smart to date online period! If you can't meet up with someone personally and start dating then you just like the abuse from other losers who can't get a date in the real world.
