Dear Jo,

Unfortunately online mobbing, or cyber bullying, has become 
widespread all through the web. It is often anonymous, but there are 
varying degrees of personal threats.
For a synthesis, including its legal implications, just see: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-bullying

If your brave blog keeps on receiving substantial amounts of abusive 
comments, you may consider various alternatives (like moderating it, 
or creating a separate sub-blog for insults, even selecting the most 
absurd ones and ridicule them, and even identifying common patters of 
though and repetitive cliches).

But when entire blogs seem to thrive based just on such a hostility, 
then  a different kind of legal action may be required. As for 
emails, I would not recommend responding to 'anonymous' one.

I know it is a brave and hard task to try to communicate sensible 
things when you seem to receive only hostility in return.

All the best and good luck,
Daniele
