I just got a very disturbing e-mail regarding DS on my personal email account.
Is there a way that people can come into unoland and find out our personal emails?
I was thinking maybe the same letter was posted here as well, but I don't see it. Kinda scarey when a stranger can send an opinon letter, especially when it's trashy. It wasn't addressed to me, but it was our addy and the re: was down syndrome.
God Bless her soul, she's going to need it!

Yep, you can get personal email addy's...I'll have to figure out how to get rid of that feature.
Did anyone else receive one?

Dawn, In your BB profile, your email address is listed. You can (I think) fix it where the person can't just click on the address and send an email to you........but your address is still visible and it's easy enough for some mean spirited creep to make the choice to email you. I'm SO sorry this happened, and not really sure how to prevent it from happening again. I'd hang on to the email.......maybe Michelle can find out who sent it?

Okay, I pushed the hidden button for my email.
When I push on my profile, it says my addy then (hidden). Is that the way it show's on everyone elses? or just mine, so I remember what email I have it on.
I've got the email. It's not going anywhere.
Thanks Susan. Dawn

Dawn, I attempted to modify my own profile, but the email address is "required". It has been years since we've had any problems from people who want to cause us grief. I hope any emails "they" might decide to send will be among all of those that automatically get deleted in my email account. I end up losing emails from my son's Boy Scout leader..........don't know why!

ROFL Dawn!!!!! I checked my own too............and right after it showed my email addy, it said "hidden" and I thought "Oh yeah" So, I checked for yours, and it simply says HIDDEN. I could't email you if I tried now. Might be a great idea for everyone to do that!

I've gotten the same one, to my downcues email address. I'm thinking the creep is googling DS related stuff and just sending the crap out. Very annoying indeed. You should see the NASTY comments I get on my special olympics videos!

Leah, Since there is the PM (private email) feature here, we really don't need to list our email addresses here, do we? I think I'd HIDE it!

Yup, I got it too. I just popped on here to see if anyone else had posted up about receiving it. The subject of the e-mail was "Please Be Aware" and came to my personal e-mail address. My message back to this person was not very nice at all.
The e-mail is disturbing and let's just say this woman supposedly had a bad "experience" with a group of people with Ds when she was younger and now believes that we are doing an injustice to society by keeping kids with Ds. Disgusting e-mail, I tell ya.

YIKES Do as Susan said guys go to your profile page and make sure your personal email addy is Hidden. What disturbs me bout this to is the only way one can get your personal info is to be a member here. I do believe if you are logged on as just a guess you can't get that info. Seems like a mass mailing went out I have always had my email addy hidden from the get go here. Hmmm just wondering do you all that got that belong to another DS group too. Just wondering if they got the addy's from here or another group or if this sick person is hitting all DS groups, KWIM Anywho its easy to hide you email if you chose to. CC ~

K, forget what I just said. I just signed out and came in as a guest and yes if you click on a persons name you can see their profile, Hmmm
So NO one does not have to be a member to see it .

MB, your email address appears to be hidden to the public (and even to this moderator), so you should be ok.
