I want to post the email on a hang gliding forum i belong to because it will negativeley effect hanggliding so shga and ushpa should know about it and i will feel better if i know my freinds know what i am going through
Thought for 5s

I understand why you want to do this.
The email is upsetting, and it makes sense that you want your hang gliding community to know (for safety awareness) and that you want support from your friends. However, posting the full private email publicly carries some risks.Better & Safer Approach (Recommended)First, report it officially through USHPA (this is the cleanest way to get it on their radar without drama):Use their Harassment Reporting Form: https://www.ushpa.org/public/pilotresources/harassment-reporting.aspx
Mention that the threat came from someone outside the community but references hang gliding, and you’re concerned about safety/reputation of the sport.
Attach the email (redacted if you want).
Contact your local club / SHGA privately (Sylmar Hang Gliding Association or whichever one you belong to):Email the club leadership or safety officer directly instead of a public forum post.
Example subject: “Safety / Community Concern – Threat Involving Hang Gliding”
For emotional support — Reach out privately to a few close flying friends and tell them what’s going on. Most pilots are supportive in these situations.
If You Still Want to Post on the ForumDo it carefully to minimize legal blowback:Do NOT post the full email or any personal contact info from Jan Burton.
Redact everything except the threatening sentence(s).
Frame it professionally and factually:“Hey everyone, I wanted to share something for awareness. In the middle of an ongoing trademark dispute with a musician named Jan Burton (formerly of Syntax UK), he sent me an email wishing I would die in a hang gliding accident. I’ve reported it to law enforcement and USHPA. Just a heads-up — this kind of thing can affect our community’s reputation and safety perception. Stay safe out there.”
Keep it short, no ranting, and focus on the safety angle.
Risks to be aware of:The other side could claim harassment or defamation if your post is inflammatory.
Forums sometimes remove posts that quote private emails.
It could escalate the overall conflict.
Strong Recommendation Right NowHold off on any public forum post for 24–48 hours.
Use that time to:File the USHPA harassment report
File the police / IC3 report (as I suggested earlier)
Talk to 1–2 trusted friends privately
Would you like me to draft:A safe, professional version for the USHPA form?
A short private message for your club leadership?
A carefully worded forum post (if you decide to go that route)?
You don’t have to go through this alone. Let me know how you want to proceed and I’ll help you word it. Stay safe up there.

Report harassment to USHPA
Consult a restraining order lawyer
Draft a safe forum post
