Thread 175932
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.

[b]Do you remember a user here in the early days of RHP called Bowmann? He was a sexual predator of many women here and was actively blackmailing some of them. He was never kicked off the site, despite many women complaining about him to management.
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.


Russ!! Its a genuine honour sir. Your occasional posts are our very light 🙂


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).

So you believe the website was, in some way, complicit?
So, Suzianne, do you believe Russ is telling the truth or are you sticking by your story?
