Default OT - The harassing calls

I know someone who's getting harassing calls and emails. The angry, mentally
unstable harasser says "I'll call the police and have you arrested". Even
though, there's no crime committed (by the victim). The calls are getting a
bit tiring.

I'm thinking there's got to be some way to divert this unstable person's
attention. Give him something more interesting to do. Judo move, back away
and let the attacker hurt himself.

With the collective wisdom of this group, there has to be some creative
answer. I thought of sending the angry harasser an email from a disposable
account (Hotmail?) and provoke the person. Tempt him to make some angry
phone calls (to the number in the signature box?). Number of what? Flower
shop? Fire department? Gay bar?

Need some ideas, folks.


I've put on call block a few times. With Verizon, here, it costs an
extra $5 per month and you can block up to 10 numbers. Had to do it to
an annoying neighbor last summer but she was not threatening. Removed
it in the fall and she has not called since. Guess she found others to
annoy.
