> Fourth, I’ve received email death threats from this guy before. I put him in the same category as the street preachers we get around here now and then…they keep predicting that everyone is going to hell, but they’re just people who are either wound up too tightly or not wound up tightly enough.

You have a cyberstalker and you’re not concerned?

Lin Budooney, if you do not report this whackjob to the police within seven days, I will kill you, your spouse, your kids, your kids’ hamsters, your co-workers, your accountant, your dentist, everyone who works at the supermarket where you shop, the nice Asian guy who runs the corner shop two blocks away that you do not shop at because Safeway/Walmart is so much cheaper, everyone you like, everyone you don’t like, and everyone who has ever posted to or read a thread on SDMB in which you were involved, including myself - but not before I have detonated a twenty megaton nuclear device in every city where you have ever lived, just to be sure that I get anyone who might possibly remember walking past you in the street. Then, when your memory is expunged from the face of the Earth, these boards will be _clean_ and _good to post on again_! Aha! Ahahaha!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

\<cough\>

😃

Seriously, though, Lynn … nutters like that need taking off the street before they work themselves up to hurting someone. Stalkers can graduate to aggression and violence against random people out of sheer frustration that they can’t reach the person they want to get to. I don’t think anyone wants to see “FORUM MOD KNOWS I’M FOR REAL NOW”, SAYS RAPE-MURDERER on the front page five years hence.

> Second, I must admit that it’s sort of embarrassing. I obviously have a lowclass, low IQ stalker here. He can’t even spell my name right! Bodoni is spelled with two Os and one I, you idiot, not the other way around. I just hope that Mr. BigThreat hasn’t actually targeted some poor soul who happens to be named Lynn Bodini.

…

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one who’s always said “Bodini” in my head for the entire time I’ve been on this board. I literally stared for a full minute at her name when I read this wondering where the hell that second O came from and why I’d never noticed it before.

You’re not the only one who’s always said “Bodini” in your head for the entire time you’ve been on this board, and I’m not just saying that to make you feel better. I have noticed that it’s spelt with two 'O’s before now, I just can’t get the pronunciation out of my head.

It was a joke. In Unforgiven, Will Munny is leaving town. He threatens to kill everyone, their wives, kids, neighbors, dogs, cats, and burn their houses. The only thing he forgot, was to tear up their lawns and houseplants 🙂

I assure you, I am doing everything in my power to find this person and get him reported. I don’t think that I can say anything more than that.

I’ve had cyberstalkers for YEARS, starting back on the old AOL SDMB. Nothing’s ever come of it. I piss people off in the course of my duties, that’s just part of the job description.

Good luck, hope you find the little bastard, and keep up the good work. That’s why I paid up my $15, is for folks like you and the rest of the SDMB moderators and admins, who keep us (remotely) civil and allow this place to be the disfunctional love-fest that I love soo much.

Peace be with you, all…

Now back to the PIT with you! 😛

Yes. I know. And what’s the last thing he says to Little Bill before shooting him?

“See you in hell William Munny” “You first Little Bill”

I think that’s what they say anyway.

Somebody pissed off _Lynn_? I wouldn’t piss off Lynn! I’m afraid of her and I’ve never even been on her wrong side.

At least I hope not. :offers Lynn some conciliatory chocolate:

Lynn, I am so sorry for laughing at this beautifully worded statement.

I once had an Internet creep threaten to find me and kill me. I printed out the statements and gave them to the police and my attorney. I understand the person left that Internet persona soon afterwords.

May you have similar luck with that cyberdog.

If that is the case, then I stand corrected, and rejoice that I was spared the opportunity to be subjected to 50% of this idiot’s crap.

Hoo, buddy, I’ll say! I remember that time Lynn pissed me off. We tore each other _up_! It was when, um…see it happened like, uhh…it all started…damn, I hate not having an “admin pissed me off” story. It makes me look like such a goody two shoes. I really would be a bad, mean person if it didn’t take so much energy.

Good on ya, Lynn. If you didn’t have the kahunas to piss off folk when they need it, this place wouldn’t be worth the electrons.

Just before that -

Little Bill - I don’t deserve this. I was building a house. I don’t deserve to die like this.

William Munny - Deserve got nothin’ to do with it.
