And section 9.2.3

"9.2.3. malicious mail"

An email containing an offensive word, sent from your IP address, may be regarded as falling under these provisions, perhaps?
No I have not.

"use of material" applies to attachments or pictures videos etc. Not words. And dont make me laugh - they try to get people to subscribe to their porn channels too

"malicious mail" As outlined above - the email did not name a person was not addressed to a person.

And moreover without understanding both "sides" how on earth could they reasonably assess it was anything ?

The fact people have to go to these lengths to sqeeze out some obscure bit of the T+Cs etc t ocome up for a reason Virgin would remotely botther with this if they had considered it for more than 5 seconds just shows how absurd it is.

Anyway that department are getting it with two barrels from me now.

Might make them think twice before they send these threatening, harassing, invasive of privacy, offensive letters to their customers.
