Any ideas on this?
I get a lot of emails everyday, usually very positive, from beginning photographers or those who have watched one of my training videos and just wanted to say hi.
Over the past few months, I have started to get…like…really angry emails, from COMPLETE STRANGERS, I have no idea who they are, or why they are even writing me, but one thing is certain, they are really upset with me for whatever reason. The most unusual thing to me is how funny I think they are, Ive never been in this situation before, but I find them comical and I feel sorry for the people who write them. (I should post them on here sometime! 🙂 )
Life is tough enough as it is….but why in the heck would you even take the time to email someone you dont even know, to tell them how much you hate them? LOL
Put it this way, you are now a celebrity and important enough for some "people" that they’re willing to waste their time to write you hate mails.
Just ignore them, Michael and surround yourself with positive people.
Some people love drama for some odd reasons. Maybe envy?
Please please please please please please…. ok one more PLEASE post some of these. I can’t remember what site it was, but I use to go to this site and one area I always checked out was the hate mail section. It was great the guy would post email directly as it was sent to him, but with the names taken out. It was so comical how horrendous spelling and grammar were. COMEDY GOLD! Do it!
Pete’s comment puts different perspective.
Just googled a bit, and found hatemail generator:

Very funny. 🙂
Seriously? Hate mail? Wow! That’s just very strange … obviously they don’t know you! 😉
I’d have to say jealousy! Please post atleast one! That is too funny!
I, for one, can’t imagine why anyone would waste their time sending hate mail. If you don’t like the content of this site, then go away! As a novice photographer, I greatly appreciate this website, as well as the lessons in the photography school. From where I’m sitting, I have no way of knowing how much traffic this site gets, but I can only imagine that there are thousands of people interested in what you are doing. I bought your crash course for the 50D, and plan on getting the PS CC too! Your lessons are good, your insights are great. Keep up the great work!
I think it is a great compliment. if you matter enough for people to waste time hating you, you must be making a difference. No one hates people who don’t matter. keep up the great work! (i would also love to see some of the emails, but I wonder if you start doing that, if people would write more of them just to get posted. may just be creating a market for more ugly email.)
Interesting insights…I appreciate this. Gives me something to think about.
