Brian,

Please direct your threatening messages in public to
me from now on. I don't respond to threats against my
name simply because I choose to file a complaint
against a longtime abuser of these forums, as is my
democratic right, to Yahoogroups about these
incidents. At this point, I had enough of these
forums if it means being constantly attacked by a
single individual for daring to contribute.

I have no doubt that you're right. Ironically, I also
have
no doubt that many members are tired of your own
posting
style, which at times is pretty far over the top. And
I do
not think that an outside observer would necessarily
distinguish your occasionally excessive exuberance
from
Patrick's vitriol, so I'd be careful about asking for
outside arbiters. In any case, three of the
moderators have
now issued warnings, and not just to Patrick; I agree
that
he's the ultimate source of this particular round of
name-calling, and I sympathize with those who would
like to
throttle him, but others have helped keep it going and
in
fairness are also at risk if this continues.

By the way, I guarantee that Cybalist_Admin won't do
any
good if you don't use it.

Brian
