Your opinion, was I right, or wrong in doing so,, and, why? If her screenname empowers her, what did you do but take that away and belittle her choices with your email? You project shame on to her when it may be her delight. I feel badly for her. A complete stranger who writes to her telling her that she is a poor choice, that she conducts herself in a demeaning manner, that she will not attract anyone but a loser - I don't see how that is going to help her at all. The flip side, if she chose the screenname she did because she feels broken or bruised, that was just confirmed by 'you' in that email. She thinks she's not good enough - you said she's right - she is 'not' good enough to attract anyone but a loser. Either way, whatever her motivation was in choosing that particular name, your message to her was thoughtless and inappropriate. Celeste
