Emailed Threats Less Crazy Than Snail Mail

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the well-on-the-whole-at-least dept.

SoyChemist writes "Psychologists at the University of Nebraska have read 300 threatening letters and 99 angry emails to members of Congress. They concluded that the authors of the electronic messages show less signs of serious mental illness, but they are more profane and disorganized. The report was published in the September issue of the Journal of Forensic Sciences."

    Your "mate" built you a PC running Windows ME? I don't think the problem is with IT people watching World of Porncraft; I rather think you need to get some better friends.

    There are NO conspiracies and there never have been any!

    None! EVER!

    Only psychotic people believe in conspiracies. Everybody knows that.

    The word "conspiracy" should be stricken from all dictionaries and using it should be made a capital crime.

    Hell, anybody who claims any conspiracy exists automatically destroys their own credibility, forever.

    If you think there has ever been a conspiracy of any kind, or that conspiracies exist now, you are an un-American nutjob and should be ridiculed to death.

    Now I'm going to anonymously create a bunch of insane, OTT conspiracy webpages because that makes it just a little harder for openminded people to take legitimate conspiracy claims seriously.

    It's fun being an Anonymous Coward. It really is.
