Hi, Ken,

We encountered something similar on a board I co-moderated years ago. Once she was banned from the board after trying everything to reason with her,
she then proceeded to email me (and others) with threats and so on...totally out of control.

I emailed [email protected] and they responded by cancelling her account. She tried again elsewhere and I followed suit again once she resumed the harrassment. Second time was the charm...she gave up or something.

If the threats look truly like she will do something (and has the ability to do something serious), contact the police and/or the local community mental health...especially effective if she/he lives 'near' you and they'll investigate.

Hope this is some help.
