Comment dit-ons "verbal abuse" en francais?

Sometime early last summer I went on a date with "max8803".  It was an okay date.  Beforehand, one of the things that interested me about him is that he's originally from Quebec City (I used to live and work there).  But as the date went on, I began to feel like the main thing we had in common was our love for Quebec City.

I remember telling a friend afterwards, that at one point when I was talking during the date, I could see that he was quite "taken" by me.  At the time, I remember wishing that I felt the same and wondering when I would sit across from someone and we'd both be feeling that.

The only thing that was somewhat awkward about the date was that he kept wanting to kiss me.  I'm fine to end a first date with a kiss, but multiple kisses in the middle of a pub in daylight is more awkward to me than romantic.  We didn't have any contact after that first date.

Until recently . . .

I logged into my online dating profile and in my inbox was a message from "max8803".  I recognized his profile picture and was surprised to hear from him.  I was even more shocked when I read the message . . .

"Salope ! je me rapelle tres bien de toi ... tu es une chienne
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  "

I speak French, so I knew that the translation is,

"Slut ! i remember you well ... you are a bitch" (excessive exclamations marks)

Firstly, I'm baffled by what could possibly have caused such extreme anger from this man 9 months after we had a single date.

Secondly, I could not have been that terrible because he was trying to make out with me throughout our date.  I can only guess that my reluctance sparked his anger?

Thirdly, it's sad that there are people out there who actually will just sit down at their computer to send nasty verbally abusive messages to others.

Finally, I guess I have underestimated the effect I can have on men.  If one date has him hanging on to anger this much after all this time, who knows who else out there is reeling from a couple hours of my presence.
