So BM, why don't you post the content of the threatening PM? What do you want done about it when you don't tell admin or mods and don't expose the person to deter them from doing it again ???

Who do I write to, to complain ?

If you'd like me to post the reply I gave you, here it is;
"Of course Chocs should stay on topic, but that doesn't mean you need to be on there commenting in an insulting way to entice her to retaliate. For example, the Eid Mubarak thread. Your comment was to imply that Chocs is childish to get her to comment back. Bora Bora had already commented that Chocs was off-topic. Your post did nothing but try to fan the flame. Everyone has to try to behave here, get used to starting new thread topics instead of derailing threads, and most of all stop instigating and bickering. Everyone, including me!"
So again, what was the point of this thread?

Can I remind you that name calling is supposed to be off limits? Didn't I get a ban for calling you a name? For a moderator to endorse a PM without knowing what's in it, just confirms my first thought that you are way out of your league trying to moderate anything, never mind a public forum.

Thanks for sharing, and acknowledging that I do not shoulder all the blame for sending things off topic.
The point of this topic? Well if it makes your friend stop and think before hitting the submit button when she wants to throw her weight around by PM then I consider it job done.

Wasn't name calling at all, just a description. If the cap fits wear it

Bora Bora wrote:Are you calling me a lackie??
Hope you aren't, because I didn't "support" anyone on this. The only voice I gave to this was to arnie and I didn't go either way.
Chocs, what do you call those who backed you up?

Bethsmum wrote:Like I said Chocs if I've made you stop and think before throwing your weight about behind the scenes then my work is done. If you have anything to say to me in the future, say it on a public forum so we all know what we are dealing with. And if you can't handle it, then just don't send any more PMs that are unsolicited. Even you can understand that surely?
