    I got charged with felony witness intimidation (basically harassment on steroids) for telling someone falsely accusing me of a crime they 'were a piece of crap, and needed to die and go to hell". Just my two cents.
    Did you end up getting rid of it ?

    It turned out that the charges that I was upset about my accuser lying about were dropped by prosecution almost immediately on basis of "complete lack of direct evidence." According to my lawyer and the state statutes on witness intimidation, the prosecutors had no choice but to eliminate the felony charge and replace it with lesser misdemeanor "malicious use of a telephone..." one of the goofiest charges I have ever heard of, but it is what it is. So on that basis, yes in Michigan you can actually be charged with being mean to someone but you have to do it with a telecommunications device.

    It's not just Michigan. There are a great number of states where threats, harassment, etc. can be accomplished via electronic communications (text, email, messenger, ad nauseum). Bottom line is, don't threaten or harass people. :-)
