The email I wrote to one of the SlashontheStarshipEnterprise mods.
Hello. I am a member of the SotSE group that you (as reported by the listing on Yahoo Groups) are one of the moderators of. I normally would not make any such request, but it seems that one of the other group members has taken my name and instant messenger ID from the list and is using it to harass me.
Today, January 3rd, at 2:18am (Central Time), Jeremycrawfordj2000 opened an instant messenger conversation with me. I did not know who this person was, and quickly realized that I didn't want to know. He pestered me to write a fic for him, without giving any further information and resisting my attempts to turn him down. Only after due prompting did he finally tell me that he wanted someone to write "a joyce/tara nc-17 fic from buffy." I explained that I did not participate in that pairing/fandom, and that it was inappropriate to ask me to write a Buffy fic when he found me on a Star Trek list. He then cursed at me (rather foully), calling me (in more and cruder words) a liar. I explained again that I did not write NC-17 fanfiction, that I did not know the characters he was asking me to write about, and that all in all, I had no desire to write a fanfic for him. The cursing message was the last I have heard from him.
Again, I wouldn't normally ask this, but I feel that JeremyCrawfordJ2000 is using the SlashOnTheStarshipEnterprise group inappropriately. I am concerned that he may attempt to utilize the list for this purpose again, and I sincerely do not want any members leaving your group only for the purpose of avoiding this individual's harassment. I am curious as to whether anyone else has reported trouble with this person, as it seems he randomly picked my name from the roster, seeing as I have never posted on the group. I suggest that you (or another mod, I'm unsure as to whom I should be addressing this to) talk to this person, attempt to explain as I did that this is an improper use of the group. If this does not work, I ask that you ban him from the group.
If you would like, I do have the transcript of the IM session (as my computer automatically saves them) for your perusal. If I am addressing this to the wrong person, I ask that you tell me whom this should be sent to so I may attempt to clear this up in a timely matter.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

See, all business like and pretty. I spent from my last post until now on it, (instead of sleeping) so it'd better be good.
