I came across a post of LynnBodoni that I do can not place at all.

I have no clue what this is about.
I never received any warning by any administrator or moderator about “posting style” or “threats”, let be **direct** threats.
So I would like to become informed about:
1. what this post of Lynn refers to.
2. Why somethong I write would come across as “direct threat”.
3. What “posting style” this message of Lynn refers to.
Thank you.
Salaam. A

Sorry for post #1… I have hit a wrong button on my keybord. Take the next one for my OP here please. Thank you.

That sounds pretty treathening to me.

SM,
No, it is not. It is an answer on a former post by that member where he said he wants to “nuke” the “third worlders”.
So I ask him to let me know when the nukes are coming so that I can send them back.
Sarcasme is not a “threat”.

Forgot: You also need to include the follwing line where I say something like: Why don’t we join forces to destroy this planet.
If you take out of context, then every word someone writes can be a “threat”.

Ah come on.
Direct threats.
He’s an asshole but where are the real threats in that thread?
I’ll send “nukes” back to you. This is really stretching it.
It really seems that if the Admin have a problem with you they will exaggerate any bullshit reason to hassle/ban the user.
Fair enough it’s their playground but cut the horseshit and just ban people if you want to. Trying to manufacture valid reasons when they are obviously not valid is actually quite insulting to your users.

This makes it _less_ threatening?
Mixing threats with sarcasm is a very dangerous game. I suggest you don’t say anything sarcastic next time you board an aeroplane.

I read it as sarcasm too, but hey, their rules, their interpretation.

Here’s the post in its entirety:

Because you see - and I know you can not understand this - underscribed Third Worlder Arab Animalistic Sub-human wouldn’t like it that much that you and your co-invading murderers in your lunatical arrogance would consider my family “worth it” to be murdered by you and considered just good enough to become “collateral damage”.

Hard to see how that’s a real threat. I really, really, don’t think he’s got an ICBM in his back yard.

**SentientMeat** are you telling me that if you were the OP or dogface you would have felt personally threatened by that post?

SM,
If I would have the intention to “threat” someone, I don’t use a stupid message board.
Tell me: How on earth can you “threat” someone anonymous, being yourself anonymous?
Sorry, but the whole idea itself is utterly ludicrous to me.
It is like believing that you can send a weapon through cyberspace to come through a PC screan to hit someone.

Is that one in his pocket or is he just happy to see me? 😃

Well, if they decide to “bann” me then they must do it.
When I came to this message board I did so because I gained the impression it was populated (mostly) by intelligent, educated and interesting people.
If I get “banned” for such idiotic “reasons” then I have the proof that I was wrong. Then I have nothing to add here anymore anyway, since it shall be a waste of my time.
So If we don’t “meet” again on this message board:
To those who discussed with me - wether we agreed or not -: Thank you for the interesting conversations.
Salaam. A

You’re being a bit naive here. It’s actually quite easy to track down the real identities of careless people on message boards.
**LolaBaby** : So _that’s_ where he’s got it hidden. 😉

Demys,
Yes I know that you can “trace” people. Yet if I want to do that, I’m not going to tell it. I just let it be done. So far nobody on any message board can get me to be that interested in his/her identity though.
Let be that I shall try to buy some “nuke” even a tiny little one, to drop it at his/her place.
By the way: For those who are out to “find” me, give it a go and play a bit. Be prepared for a huge disappointment thohjgh.You can trace all you want, you shall never end with tracing me. So sorry.
Salaam. A

Lola,
Actually they are hidden in my basements and secret caves, together with OBL and some ragin Taliban with rusty kalashnikovs.
I had Saddam there for a while, but he insisted to go for a walk… You see how it ends when people leave my protective care 🙂

Uh, **Alde**? I don’t think you were out of line, or even that you should be banned for the first remark, but what the hell is this? I’ll accept that you may have mistyped, but it looks like another threat. 😕
