    Supporter as in paid subscriber?

    I was thinking about becoming a paid subscriber. I was also thinking about getting one of their 20 ounce coffee mugs, but the cost nearly doubles when you factor in shipping and handling

    I think it is a serious matter even if you choose to make light of it.

    More deception on your part?
    I was referring to your threat to rat out suzianne to the website admins, not sexual harassment.

    It goes a bit beyond 'Suzianne', don't you think? She's either telling the truth, which means the website's behaviour/policy is atrocious ["...many women complaining about [sexual harassment/blackmail] to management" and allegedly nothing was done]. Or she's not telling the truth in which case the website should address the allegations and/or clarify what the policy was/is.

    For the record, this is news to me.

    And having searched EVERY feedback since 2001, there is not a single complaint in site feedback about this character. (The normal method for reporting issues with confidentiality that I'm sure this required.)

    One single feedback makes a reference to a private forum conversation with no context or details.

    Last Bowmann move on the site : 14 Feb '07
    Last Bowmann forum post (any forum) 5 April 2007

    (Bowmann has left the site)

    Feedback that references possible issues with Bowmann, but no details, and certainly no accusation of what has been suggested : 12 May '07.

    A further search found a feedback complaint of abusive language from "Bowman" (note misspelling) August 2005. Again, nothing directly related to above complaint.

    Full disclosure : No complete record of my PMs exists, so I am unable to confirm or deny any reports via personal messages. (Not the correct channel for complaints).

    I guess anonymously thumbing down every post of ones detractors is still an option...

    So, Suzianne, do you believe Russ is telling the truth or are you sticking by your story?
