Why are you sorry? I would have reported the PM to the mods. Actually, I did something like that recently and was told a death wish against a companion animal wasn't "really bad." What will it take to get some action against these trolls?


when you use a pretentious and ridiculous phrase like "companion animal" you're just begging people to make threats against it.


She is a liar. She never got a death threat against her "companion animal".

Please reread my post. I said I was sorry that I picked on flotsam and use him to given an example. Obviously flotsam didn't call me that.

I didn't misunderstand. I still don't see any reason why you should be sorry, or any reason people should worry about "good taste" when they've received harrassing PMs that are in the worst taste possible.

I'm not really sure I want to get sucked into this snake pit and I am not blaming the victim here, I would just like something clarified,

You posted:
I don't think he likes Jews. What is even more disturbing is that he would have had to do some serious stalking to find out I that I practise Judaism.

then

I will gladly give you my password if you want it. I know posting PMs is not cyber etiquette but when someone sends me a post about Jews dying in Auschwitz showers and asks me what I think of it-KNOWING THAT I AM A JEW-there is no consideration of any unwritten rules to my mind.

Your outrage seems to be based upon the fact that he was being intentionally racist, but you admit that in fact there it is unlikely that he actually knew you are Jewish.

Did he or didn't he know? Are your emotions getting in the way here? You read the pm and understandably went nuclear so it is possible that you made a logical leap and came to hasty conclusions regarding his intent?

Or, are you a troll that slipped up?

This kind of isht ticks me off because I smell troll but my white guilt complex is forcing me to give you the benefit of the doubt.

No, you do misunderstand. The apology was to Flotsam for using him as an example. No more, no less. It was not an apology to the OP or to Spin, or to you, or your "companion", or Krishna on a Garuda, or God, or anyone but Flotsam, and only for using him as an example. Got it? Stop making an ass of yourself.

Alright...so I'm going to put an end to this drama show. I did log on under hack's account (with his permission) and what he posted is authentic. Of couse we don't know what the intent is for sure, but I hope we've learned some lessons in this thread.

1) What someone pm's you doesn't need to be made public for everyone to see, even if it is offensive.

2) Running to the mods everytime your flammed is not good.

3) People will say what they please on this board, even if it hurts someone else's feelings.
