ANONYMOUS HATE E-MAIL

Over the past month or so, unsolicited and unidentified e-mails have arrived on your editor’s computer from an obviously distressed and disturbed person, (could be male or female). The ‘Highlander’ makes a practice of ignoring any unsigned material that may come its way and so the pest mail from kids.invergordon@hotmail.co.uk was deleted. Not content however with venting his/her vexation privately on your editor the person then turned to posting unsolicited ‘shite’ on the Independent Highlander’s website guest book, as well as posting the very same ‘shite’ on the newly published Invergordon Community Council’s web pages.

The ‘Highlander’ has regrettably withdrawn the Guest Book facility from publication for the foreseeable future. But takes the opportunity of reproducing the contentious hate mail here for readers to judge for themselves whether the person responsible it is of a sane mind?

The following was posted to the two web sites from;

kids.invergordon@hotmail.co.uk

My name is wee donnie I am 10 years old.
I can't live at home because my dad doesn't like me he says I am not his son and he hates me and batters me.
I have been told by my social worker that I am to be moved to a nice new safe house in bermuda road in invergordon.

I was really happy about this until I read this weeks north star and found out that all the people there hated me as well.

What have I done to big donnie next door and all his so called community spirited friends. I have now told my social worker that I think it is safer for me to stay at home. At least I know who will be battering me

The ‘Highlander’ has reproduced the letter, bad grammar and all, for reader’s perusal. At the same time your editor urges ALL readers who has e-mail facilities, either on their mobile phones or computers to send letters of support to the apparent disturbed writer at;

kids.invergordon@hotmail.co.uk

And so perhaps, unlike the stranded whale, public help and sympathy can yet save ‘wee donnie’ from his fate.
