Can and will get you banned. We shouldn’t HAVE to say this, but apparently some people think that threatening this MB is acceptable behavior. It isn’t. We’ve had problems with people messing with the board. We don’t want any more. We will take ALL threats seriously. So don’t even joke about it.

I wonder if these people also walk through airports kidding about bombs and wonder why they get strip-searched?

Ooh, threats! How thrilling! I’d better hie me over to the Pit and see what I missed while I was indulging in what I laughingly refer to as “my real life”.

Were you expecting dry, witty responses to this, or what? I mean really, this is the new millenium. There’s no such thing as taking it seriously.

Of course, I wouldn’t ever bite the hand that feeds me, and wouldn’t joke about threatening the MB. But I **would** joke about this message… if I were as witty as Esprix… sigh.

I think she was just reiterating policy in the appropriate forum.

I’m going to assume you meant that as a compliment, so I’ll take it as such - thank you. 😃
