I think anonymous hate mail is pretty offensive, especially in this case when it is masquerading as something friendly. Who does not open a Love Machine message with a little tingle of anticipation? To then receive an insult is like finding a bug in your food - a complete reversal of your expectations. So I fully support BD who is a well-liked contributor here and doesn`t deserve to be treated in such a disrespectul way.
For the guys who just laugh it off, I`d like to say, Well done - you`ve found a way to minimize the sting in these messages. Unfortunately, the expression "laugh it off" might give the impression that sending anonymous hate messages is humorous in some way, but it isn`t - it`s really creepy and always has been.
