was thinking there’s got to be laws to do with nasty mail, poison pen letters whatever call them, to protect people from misuse of postal services etc. Maybe there isn’t.

anyway wondering of electronic mail too, what protections the law affords, to discourage it.

then I thought, well, crimestoppers must get shit loads of nasty mail, you could say they probably invite it. I wouldn’t say that. ATO, centrelink, write in something anonymous.

wouldn’t want to give a law like that too much effect, if any exists.

imagine sorting trough mail like that, the discontents. Be a mountain if it was all paper, but I guess paper’s probably safer and still used.

news services (newspapers etc) too they must get something like it.

insurers too, dunno.

somewhere the intentions of the sender must get considered. Imagine that sort of discretion, in a secret room somewhere, secrets, a secret business. If you did a FOI request on all the love out there, sampled it, what would save you from misanthropic despair.

More to the point. Politicians assistants are legally obliged to answer it all.

yes, very good example

VRO’s and protective bail usually include not contacting or harassing, insulting, threatening people by electronic or other means.

damn

It’s possible if it’s threatening it becomes a police matter and resources are allocated to finding out who it is.
I imagine people who make such threats might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer and leave some evidence behind to track them assuming they don’t actually use their name.

police must be sitting on a mountain grubby mischief. All there, waiting to be part of dot drawing.

if you dragged it out onto the street, turned it into something olfactory, it’d be a mountain of smelly shit.

so you know there needs invitation to get that, facilitators, and amongst it some small fraction lends to prosecutions.

What can you do really, people just being people (stupid, unkind and all that)
At the moment our so called leaders are the worst of the bunch, come across as very unpleasant people not worthy of the title leader (but many leaders from history haven’t been worthy either)

yeah but (of politics) the philosophy is sort of subsidiary function, mostly culture (in free countries) is self-regulating, market forces and all that, so some of what you say is frustration, a projection.

Citizen policing and trial by media often occurs were some idiot spouts off some racist/sexist comment on social media and pays for it often quite literally by losing their job. We do have decent people who won’t put up with such nonsense. Something I find distasteful is so called fans who personally attack actors because they didn’t like them in a movie or tv show
