Calling someone's work and threatening someone's way of feeding their family is pure bullshit. Chopper's in for the beatdown.
I've done it once before and despite the circumstances felt like a complete tool. Sent the guy some money anonymously.
Here were the particulars:
Bama guy posting on a bama board. I was on there spying, posing as a bammer. He was a real jackass. Made some pretty serious allegations about Auburn's cheating, etc. Later he started bragging about how he was pullling the wool over his boss' eyes. Said his boss was a real turd, an Ole Miss fan. He ranted a good bit about the boss and the other people he worked with. Some pretty harsh ridicule Made the mistake of identifying himself by name. Made the mistake of saying where he worked. Made the mistake of identifying his boss and co-workers by name. He worked in sports media which made all the crap he was saying about AU worse.
Boss got an email from an untraceable account. Click here was all it said. Felt really bad as soon as it was sent. Apparently bossman clicked because the guy had a total freaking meltdown on the board wanting to know which of the low-life fake bama fans ratted him out. Then he posted his address telling whoever did to come fight him. He was a college kid. It was a part time job. But still. I sent him enough $$ to pay the rent.
