Blocking a person on google chat

That would be good in helping to convict him even of assault, if you e-mail from him that says things like that. If you block his e-mail then you will never know what he is trying to do. He sounds to me like a big braggart and likes to hear himself bully folks around. I have had charge of this kind when I worked in the stat prison system and sooner or later, if they continue they are dealt with kinda harshly.

wish I knew the answer, he might be talking out of hurt right now though, as he feels you betrayed him, maybe in a week or so you two can work things out, I don't know, I know him and I don't mix, like vinegar and water and never will

Many years ago I befriended a group of young people and helped a couple of them too. Things went wrong, they were in trouble with the law and somehow,I think because I refused to put up bail for one guy, it became my fault. There were threats and I was afraid. Except for the nuts being loosened on one of the wheels on my car, nothing happened. (I recognised the sound of the loose nuts and checked my wheel and fixed it before I went to far)...I actually went to the cop shop. The cops told me most offenders who mouth off are all talk. The make threats and big note themselves but they do nothing. The ones that DO act, say nothing before hand. It's the same with people who talk about killing themselves, the genuine ones just do it...the ones that talk about it a lot, don't. If he is making any sort of threats, go to the police.

I'm not really sure. I would break all ties with him too because i know how people like him, are also. That is very scary!!

Hello Pointless-q, this is saddening, it's easy to scare some one on the internet but it's hard to determine whether that person really actually knows you. unless you have some kind of personal information that is posted on the net (name, address,etc), or the guy has a hacker friend, there's obviously nothing to worry about. but I guess, it's better too if you change you're email instead, for you're own safety.

If he does threaten you in your emails, isn't that proof that you could bring to the local authority's attention?

I believe that just blocking the person does not deter them from emailing you. As long as someone has your email address they can email you. However, check your email settings to see if you can block the person there as well, as most of them do have this option. On another note, you can save the history of your chat and if he somehow makes it through that would be proof of harassment.
