And thus the sands shift again. . .
Not really... I told Mister Scratch that from the beginning.

The hell you did! Your story has changed so many times I lost track. First it was a "threat", then it was a "joke"; first it was someone from "MDB," now it's "someone you know"; first you called the police, now it was just "friend in law enforcement." Just own up to it, Josh. Start the repentance process now, before you dig yourself in any deeper.
I never said it was a member of MDB... And I really don't get your "threat"/"joke" argument. It looks like your digging deep.

You represented the emails initially as a threat; then they became a "joke" some secret someone was playing on you. Please don't make me read through all your drivel to quote you on this. Scratch was just reporting the facts - no digging deep.

The person claimed they were a joke. The emails were written as threats. I don't see how this is hard.

Or gee, we can look at it for what it is.... I said I contacted "law enforcement" to try to scare a confession out of Mister Scratch. All I really did was contact a friend in law enforcement.
Okay, back up a second here. Do you see your reply to Skippy up above? I.e, the reply where you say,

<Ahem> Is Mister Scratch a member of MDB? You are so full of crap your breath stinks.
All I had was email threats with no tracability.

First off, spammers do it all the time. Second, the only thing that was said is you don't have the technical capacity to pull it off. Most even said it was easy to do.

You know someone who as a joke sends anonymous e-mails threatening your family? Please tell them from me that jokes are supposed to be funny.

Good spin. You are good. We established that you didn't do it. I never then said "we found out it was a member of the MDB". The implication is that when I found out who it was, I first said it was a member of the MDB.. Now your playing mind games.

It's not hard to do. I know how.
