Maybe he’s playing some subtle game that I’m not aware of, but after what he did to me…it just doesn’t make sense to give me the same option. I’m not unhinged or dangerous, but I’m definitely planning to make a mess for him professionally.

The only threats I’ve seen in this thread are the ones that you’ve been making. Which you will stop, right now, or you will no longer be allowed to post here.

This is an official warning.

You’re right. What if Bob were unhinged, instead of just trolling me? He could have done me or my family some damage. You’re absolutely right.

What I don’t get it is why he’s STILL got his personal email, with his REAL NAME in it, posted on his public profile.

Did he do something to you outside of this thread? Because if you’re just talking about what he did in this thread, he hasn’t “done” anything to you.

that’s OK. I’ve already contacted the webmaster about this. Please don’t delete any threads or posts, as they can be used for evidence. I have already saved everything on my hard drive, so no problem either way.

Probably because it’s different than the e-mail he has linked to his social networking profiles? Just a guess.

Even if he _was_ unhinged, it’s on you, not the crazies, to protect the identities of your loved ones online.

The only evidence anything in this thread can be used for is to prove that you’re far too stupid to be using the internet.

You are absolutely right about it being my responsibility to protect my loved ones. that’s exactly what I’m in the process of doing, by contacting the relevant authorities.

I certainly didn’t start the stalking. I couldn’t care less who any of you are. I think the Pit is an aberration, and can’t even understand why it exists.

Is that a threat, **EmAnJ**? Sounds like a veiled threat. I invoke the Patriot Act to rain down hellfire upon thee!

I don’t even remember how many people I called “Dr. Phil”, and I’m too lazy to look, but…OK, BOB did.

Not understanding things seems to be a fairly common situation for you.

Maybe. I figure them out in the long run, though.

I STILL don’t get why the Pit exists. what’s the point of creating a place for people to insult one another?

It might be a threat! And your Patriot Act doesn’t apply to me up here in Canada, so there!
