Insulting Emails

I got a really insulting personal email today, haven't gotten one for several months now.  I have a special folder where I move these nasty things, but I was wondering if anyone has come up with anything more creative and fun to do with them?  Like print them and throw darts at them?  I'm open to ideas here.

Yah, I'm curious of the reason myself. Can't say I've gotten one in a long time. The one I got was from a guy bitching because I wouldn't help write his software for him for free. It was actaully really funny and I made sure to send it to every friend I had to watch out for him on the forums! ;)

In my earlier days, I sent a nasty email to someone.
The way they got back at me was brilliant and taught me a great lesson - they replied tactfully but cc'd my management.
This made me look like a real moron (and I was)

Good luck.

The best way to handle this sort of thing is to respond as kindly and sympathetically as possible without backing down. For example, suppose someone insults your intelligence and education with a few well-chosen profanities. You reply that you appreciate their concern, you are doing the best you can with the abilities that you were born with and then list all of the educational activities that you've undertaken (in regards to the topic at hand, of course). The key here is to ignore the vituperation and concentrate on whatever actual content there is. Since it is almost always trivial, you can reply to it with seriousness and the triviality of their insults are obvious to almost anyone. Besides, they are looking for a fight, don't give them what they want.
