[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=73095](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=73095) See my reponse in the pit for the real story… Just look for Daemon as thread starter ---

Again, learn how to post. I don’t see anything there where he says he wants to kill you or WILL kill you. Again, show me some proof. ---

So far, all I see is multiple violations of the SBMD rules - primarily the one which goes “don’t be a jerk”. ---

It’s **not** a threat. If I started a thread asking “Could I smoke crack through my anus and produce gekko-shaped clouds from my nostrils?” it doesn’t mean I have an interest in doing so. Just that I would like to know how it is possible. ---

My questions were purely hypothetical, but ML must have taken them seriously. **He** is the ignoramus, not us! Why doesn’t anyone understand that? ---

You are above us all? You are the only one allowed to have a hypothetical post? Did you ever think that **ML** ’s thread was hypothetical? Thanks for the insult, calling me a dumbass is all the proof I need that **ML** was making threats! ---

I’ve gone as far as you can go, what with **Cecil** answering my question and all. What more is there to accomplish here? ---

You’re acting like you married the guy. Stop milking the cow of “1.7 seconds of fame” long enough to look down and make note that it’s actually a bull. ---

Oh, and nice cop out to elude the fact that you have no evidence. I still haven’t forgotten. Another case of, “I’ve been proven wrong and I’ll be damned if anyone notices it”. ---

Daemon, ML’s question was a play on your own thread. It was not, in any way, a serious threat. Quit starting new threads. And, in the future, if you have a problem like this, you might want to email a mod/admin instead of just starting threads. I check my mail far more often than I check each forum of the message board.
