I'm angry. Angry like a snake.

Sometimes people get mad. Sometimes people get angry. Recently I've been pissed off angry. Let me tell you why.

So I received an email a few days back from an ex work colleague from a salt mine in my past. In this email were all sorts of words that made me angry. Someone was dropping the "f" bomb, refueling the canon with a "co**sucker" bomb. Interestingly, this same person had just given a "Do not hire him" reference to a potential employer who interviewed me last week.

Isn't this kind of behavior illegal? I know it's very childish and immature, but is it illegal? Like defamation or something?

I'm currently trying to find out, because if it is illegal, then God help this SOB because God will be the only one able to help him.
