objection, the text was in protest at the continual harassment of the originator despite
repeated public requests for him to refrain from doing so, it was in response to
perceived bullying and the Gman had every right to ask that he refrain from
discontinuing the harassment, the fact that the text had to be strongly worded is a

serious issue and harassment a violation of the terms of service.
Quite with this sensationalist tripe for goodness sake.

Galveston you sent an abusive, threatening PM to FMF. That action violates the ToS. FMF on the other hand asked you questions in a public forum, that action doesn't break the ToS. That's what the forums are for after all.
Even if it is my imagination and over reacting, I have no rights here?
Originally posted by galveston75Of course you can alert the moderator. That's what they are here for, what you can't do is send threatening PM's.

its public make any difference? no it does not, the Gman repeatedly made requests
that he desist from what he perceived as harassment, he failed to comply, therefore,
the Gman having recourse to no other avenue, contacted the moderators and issued a
strongly worded private message, as is his right.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou can't stop people asking on-topic questions in a public forum if those questions are within the ToS. Galveston alerted the moderator and yet FMF is still here, so we can conclude that he hasn't broken the ToS otherwise he would be serving a forum ban or be banned from the site.
