Hello --
Could there be any civil recourse for a person who insults, puts down, name-calls (eg "liar, deceptive cretin" etc) or insinuates things about a person, if these thing are done through to a personal email? I doubt that defamation or libel could be an issue as there is no-one else viewing other than the other person. Could there be a civil case for "verbal assault" or "false accusations" or intimidation? There was no foul language used.
I'm not sure where the line is drawn in those instances.
Thanks in advance.
