    Are unwanted texts illegal?
    I had a falling out with this stupid girl last month. I've sent her a couple of texts to see how she's doing. She said she called the police. I understand that unwanted texts can be interpreted as a form of harassment but am I breaking the law? Would really appreciate some feedback.

      Depends where you live, but once she has told you to not contact her she can probably report you for harassment. Whether the police agree it's harassment after seeing the texts and hearing your side would be another matter though.

      Just leave her alone. Either she is crazy or you have pushed her too far by the sounds.

            Depends on what you are texting her. If it is simply hey, just wanted to see how you were doing then probably not initially. However, if she had asks you on more than one occasion to leave her alone and you continue to try and contact her than eventually it could be perceived as harassment.

            Now if your text is a pic of your junk dressed up as a face saying I miss you then you could have a whole different ballgame.

            Either or, if you texted her and she threatened to call the police odds are she really doesnt want a whole lot to do with you and you should just as well move on.

            Good luck

                If she tells/asks you not to contact her any more and you do - even if they're non threatening texts/emails overall - at least here in Australia you'll at least visit the cop shop if she reports you. If you've contacted her a few times after she's asked you not to any more, you can get in deep shit. Again though that's Australia. Maybe contact one of those free legal phone call places in your state but either way don't contact her any more. All the power is in the hands of the harassee at that point. I have PMs/MSN/emails/SBR chats/Skype, etc saved for 3 years. A lot of damage could be done to a lot of people if I were a vindictive cow... once a chick tells you to back off, run away. Truly. (And if you're a nutter deep down, get some help.)

                  I have to imagine its treated the same as phone calls would be.

                    Send her a text saying that if she doesn't want any more text updates from you in future then she should reply "STOP" to unsubscribe from your service

                      You're right about that. She has been diagnosed as bipolar and she is crazy. I just don't want the police showing up at my door.

                        I live in California. She really did a number on me and friend of mine. I could stop but it's so much fun screwing with her.

                          First of all, all women are bi-polar and crazy. Clearly you're either young or inexperienced not to know that.

                          Second of all, you put her down throughout this thread, calling her stupid and crazy but it's you who comes off looking like a stupid, crazy, and very pathetic hamburger because if she's so bad, what does that say about you contacting her after she asks you not to?

                          I've had plenty of experience with stupid and/or crazy and I've never had any of those women say not to contact them. It's always me telling them to fukk off. You must be a real special piece of work to not only get dumped by a stupid, crazy girl, then be told not to contact her because clearly you're unbalanced, but then to go against her wishes to the point where she has to alert the authorities.

                          Get some help, pal. I don't want to see you on the evening news, you fukk.

                          God bless.

                            You're such a clueless jackass. She didn't dump me. We weren't even going out. And I know all women are crazy. She pissed me off and traumatized my friend. You have absolutely no clue what this girl has done or who I am but you pass judgement like you're omniscient. Mind your own business and get off this thread or I'll report you.

                                Listen, kid. I don't want to bury you anymore than you already are. Clearly you got some real fukking problems.

                                I'll leave you on this note: When SBR moderators are nominating posts in this thread because they also think you're a fukking nutjob, your threats of "reporting" me don't mean much.

                                Seriously, get some help.

                                    Leave the bitch alone u weirdo. Who knows what you've been saying to her but my guess is its not just hey how are you doing. The cops will be showing up shortly. Jk she didn't call the cops just wants u to really stop texting her...so STOP!

                                        We can discuss how awful basketball is any time you want, pal. I've done it many times before and it's always hilarious when you point out a huge flaw in the game and diehard fans will go, "well, sure there's that, but it's part of the game!"

                                        When you add up all the retarded parts of the game of basketball, you get one big stupid piece of work.

                                            I think if we look closer the more important question is are illegals texting unwantedly...

                                                I think basketball is the most stupid major sport there is too. But i don't know exactly why. I just know it sucks.

                                                I'd like to see the list
                                                .
