But it is you who is responsible under the terms and conditions for how your connection is used.

I am not a naughty boy - im in my late 30s. They can do what they like but they can't expect people to just accept their behaviour when it comes to breaching contract wit htheir customers and alledging some potential marginal libel/harrassment has taken place against a third party.

Why does age mean that you can't do no wrong
The IP of the original email was logged. It shows it was your connection being used.

Precisely it could have been done via wireless which is why they are incredibly dumb to be sending these letters for one email containing the word "asshole"

If you are using wireless it's your responsibility to ensure it was secured. It's still not Virgin Media's fault if it was insecure and thus the email was sent.
At the end of the day. If you had been the recipient of this email, reported it to the ISP through which it was sent, do you then sit back and expect the ISP to ignore it, or do nothing about it? Why should it matter if it was one email or 100? Why should it matter if it's personal, or could be read by many? Congrats to Virgin Media for actually getting off their backsides and following up the complaint.
