To have a place where people can insult each other. Any other questions? ETA: In response to Clueless Joe. ---

Who was that guy who got banned about a year ago for making threats when he felt his wife and kids were being threatened? You’re starting to remind me of him, **al27052**. ---

Are you reading any of the other Pit threads? If so, you would see that the majority of them are about things OTHER than people on SDMB. But go ahead and keep living in your own little bubble there, buddy. ---

I just checked his profile and there’s a real name and email address there, but it’s not his name and email, it’s **mine**. What the hell are you trying to pull, **Bob Ducca**? ---

> [@al27052](#): > > Guess who just changed their email address in their profile? Yep. I’ve never had an issue letting other members contact me, and I’ve never felt a need to hide my real name until some rando nutjob started directly threatening me. Fortunately, unlike you, I keep my Facebook profile locked down with privacy settings. Which, if you’ll go back upthread, was the whole point of me pointing this out to you in the first place. I was gently teasing you about calling yourself a hacker even though you can’t even turn on FB privacy settings… and now this? Jesus man, get a grip. ---

Al27052 need to note that. Go batshit crazy here or cross some line regarding threats or lawsuits and he will get his ass banned toot sweet, with no second chances. Al need to take a break and step back IMO. ---

I was gently teasing you about calling yourself a hacker even though you can’t even turn on FB privacy settings… and now this? Jesus man, get a grip. I’m not a hacker. My POINT was that there ARE some unhinged people OUT there. In addition, there are the 4chan types, who, while sane, are not to be messed with. I’ve not personally seen cases where people have had to deal with repercussions from online trolling, but it happens. You scared the shit out of me. i thought you were about to post my facebook profile for everybody to see here. And, dude, your email address was google-able. VERY. If you’d like to maybe make peace, feel free to email me. I’m reasonable. Try me. ---

If you don’t like the Pit, don’t visit it. Who cares? What I’m interested in is this ‘threat’ that you say Bob has leveled against you. Where is it? Specifically. Are you talking about something that happened outside of the SDMB? Finding out ‘who’ someone is, because they have their email address linked to their profile, is not a ‘threat’. ---

> [@al27052](#): > > And, dude, your email address was google-able. VERY. If you’d like to maybe make peace, feel free to email me. I’m reasonable. Try me. I’m sure it was. I’ve done some things in the public eye and don’t really hide who I am. That’s different than keeping my FB locked up though. Also, I honestly don’t have any programs to fund or university donors to worry about or whatever - so hopefully you’re not ruining some guy’s life just because he and I share the same name. ---

Anyway, what about **BudgetPlayerCadet**? If I don’t misremember, he never did give his feedback on all the advice he got in this thread (albeit heated and sometimes rather snarky). **BPC** , do you see how you might bear some responsibility for the events which caused you to post your rant in the first place? Also, why on earth did you show this thread to the girl?? (you did mention that in one of the earlier posts didn’t you?) You realize that it’s quite possible for her to search your past posts where all your previous “achievements” are posted, don’t you? ---
