If you want to take action, you could go to the website of the ISP, and find out their reporting address. For example, if you get email from nastyperson@bigISP.com, you can go to www.bigISP.com and dig around to see if they have a reporting address, like abuse@bigISP.com. You could then forward the offending emails to them, which might result in nastyperson's account being cancelled.

>I just received a "response" from Kristen in my hotmail concerning the post that I just made to zeliva, and it was harassing. So, I did what you suggested, I have forwarded it to abuse@hotmail.com, plus have blocked her from emailing me to any of my email accounts. This is a shame, because I was so trying to help her, and her response to me now is filthy and hateful. And I don't know how she is getting away with creating new PB identities to get around being blocked, but she is definitely out of control, and has no concept that people have been trying to reach out to her.
