With dread and aghast I read your text barely believing as the horror unfolded before my eyes like some catastrophic disaster! You of all people! with whom I shared a game of chess, the most noble and royal game, nay two or even three and there you were in cahoots with the now leprous FMF and loathed divegeester all along! Such a parcel of rouges n ...[text shortened]... dishonouring a lady! The shame of it, who ever heard of such a thing among gentlemen of honour?
ROFLMAO...Now that really has to be the funniest thing I've heard you say in years!!!

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeGhost, I truly thought about your question before replying.
If I sent you a private message sir, that if we ever met in real life I would hurt you, would you similarly be fine with that? (Honestly?)
Would you report my comment? Would you feel obliged to keep it secret? Would you owe me that, If you believed my comments were 'heartfelt'?
I was surprised by Suzianne's final comments when FMF copied them ...[text shortened]... who I actually rather like) I will give her the opportunity to explain the comments in her post.
If you Ghost, sent me a PM stating that you have computer friends that will not stop until they have my name and address, and that you will come to find me...and hurt me....yes, I would be worried. And would wonder what I should do about it. Because that would be a genuine, real threat.
If Suzianne sent me a PM stating....hey chaney3, if I am ever unfortunate to meet you in real life, I will hurt you.
Not the same at all.
Suzianne's comment was blatanly 'off the cuff', and with NO real intent of harm.
This distinction needs to be stated.
