I think someone's given him a copy of the PM, and he thinks it's genuine, but they've given him something else entirely, something harmless and inoffensive.

Originally posted by SuzianneThis thread is already, in part anyway, "full" of this: one faction who believe that the target of an abusive threatening message has no obligation to keep the abusive person's behaviour/action secret, and another faction that has been doing its damndest to avoid addressing that question, which is, after all, the key issue underpinning this whole incident. What is your view on it?

Originally posted by FMFYou keep on parroting the words "abuse" and "threats" as if my PM to you was full of it. But of course, your whole course of action depends on you being the "injured" party here. You're the one who is "full of it".

I also see that this entire thread has been absent of these people to whom you supposedly sent this PM (except for some who might wish to help you push your agenda). It's been quite the "dog-and-pony-show".
But I'm done talking to you. Piss off.
Originally posted by SuzianneWell, you know as well as I do (along with a fair few other people) what was in the message. And you therefore know, as well as I do, and them too, exactly what was the nature and content of the message.

Originally posted by SuzianneSpeaking of which, you forgot to answer the question that this whole debate has centred on: do you believe that the target of an abusive threatening message has an obligation to keep the abusive person's behaviour secret?

Originally posted by FMFdid this alleged abuse compel you to reveal it others?

It's been quite the "dog-and-pony-show".
"Dog and pony show" is a colloquial term which has come to mean a highly promoted, often over-staged performance, presentation, or event designed to sway or convince opinion for political, or less often, commercial ends. Typically, the term is used in a pejorative sense to connote disdain, jocular lack of appreciation, or distrust of the message being presented or the efforts undertaken to present it.
The term was originally used in the United States in the late-19th and early-20th centuries to refer to small traveling circuses that toured through small towns and rural areas. The name derives from the common use of performing dogs and ponies as the main attractions of the events. Performances were generally held in open-air arenas, such as race tracks or public spaces in localities that were too small or remote to attract larger, more elaborate performers or performances. The most notorious was “Prof. Gentry's Famous Dog & Pony Show,” started when teenager Henry Gentry and his brothers started touring in 1886 with their act, originally entitled “Gentry’s Equine and Canine Paradox.” It started small, but evolved into a full circus show. Other early dog and pony shows included Morris’ Equine and Canine Paradoxes (1883) and Hurlburt’s Dog and Pony Show (late 1880s).
By the latter part of the 20th century, the original meaning of the term had been largely lost.
