I laughed at the quote, but you may have shot yourself in the foot here.
The trouble is, this note seems to be taken very seriously by the college campus, as well as your ex herself. This may rebound on you in years to come should you ever need to go to court for any reason. People are very good at digging up the past to find this sort of thing.
For instance, should you ever find yourself in a divorce court, some lawyer's researcher could find this and use it against you, and be used to justify whoever keeps custody of any children. If they're good, they could paint you as a psycho. The defence of 'it was a joke' doesn't usually tend to wash in courts, and judge's don't tend to appreciate film quotes.
The trouble is, you've only been guilty of misjudging your audience. However, when dealing with these sorts of situations, humour is rarely a good option. She may have taken this completely the wrong way, but all the college will see is a note with a death threat on it, and a possibly homicidal ex-boyfriend. Her mental state doesn't matter in this situation, only what has been written down, because that is all they will care about.
I would try to clear the air myself, try to reason it out, because that record marking you out as a potential psycho will remain on their system until someone comes looking for it.
Despite what I have outlined above, I wouldn't get too worried about it either, as probably nothing will happen. I have just outlined a potential problem.

In these cases it dosen't really matter how you said something, what the context was, whether it was a joke or not. Only that you said it:
Quote: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
How do you think newspapers are sold?

You sent an email containing the words "I will kill you" to your mentally unstable x girlfriend who seems to blame you for abandoning her like her father and has played or plays field hockey for years....
Nice knowing you. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

I had to use Eve-search to find the original blog link so I could read what the anon wrote to your ex.
I guess I shouldn't have mentioned that you can use Eve-search to click on the valid link still....

Heh, yeah, I knew EVE search would work... But still, nothing I can do about that. Oh well, like I said, public blog, and it's not like I'm commenting on it, or telling you to comment on it. --- This forum is problematic.

Edited by: TraininVain on 03/03/2009 19:30:20 Well... on one hand I'm chuckling.
On the other hand that was a pretty dumb thing to say to her by email if you knew that she liked the drama.
Electronic communication kind of sticks around like a bad smell and often lacks context.
If you're not on copacetic terms with someone think hard about what kind of ammo you're giving them.

So, uh I'm not sure what is happening right now, but I got an email saying I was signed up for a whole bunch of news letters. And My Ex also deleted her latest Live Journal post. I also got a call from the campus security, but I was in class and when I called them back they didn't pick up.
But right now, I'm loling at what I think was a pathetic attempt to spam me. --- This forum is problematic.
