    I have advised Plazma and the other moderators of my resignation and departure from this forum. The reason being is that an individual, proclaiming to be a member of this forum, has managed to get my email address and sent me an email, where they threatened my children and myself with death in terms so graphic that they are downright sickening. How any individual could take thing so personally is beyond me. I do not know who this person is, the email appears to be a temporary one. We have contacted our ISP provider and sent them the email, they will investigate to see if it can be tracked down.

    Therefore I bid you all goodbye. I won't be returning. There had always been an understanding that what happened on this forum, stayed on this forum. So for this fucker to dare threaten my children in such a fashion goes beyond what is acceptable. I am angry and upset that something like this has happened.

    To the individual who dared to do this. If this forum means so much to you, you can keep it. And if I ever find out who you are, this fucking planet will not be big enough for you to hide on.

    So this is goodbye from me.

    Sorry to hear that. That is very screwed up.

    I believe you have legal options when threats have been made. Online or in real life, it can be taken to the police. They have a high probability of finding who that person was if they investigate.

    Sorry to hear this Bells. That is a very sad situation. I certainly hope is is just some loser who doesn't even live on your continent.

    Best of luck to you.

    I'm sorry to hear that Bells. I cannot believe that someone would take an Internet forum so seriously that they feel the best course of action to cause change around here is to send a threatening e-mail.

    Fucking lowlife.

    I wish you luck in your future endeavours, Bells

    Bells,

    Thats terrible and I hope you change your mind. To whomever threatened Bells, I challenge you to bring your threat to me... and if you do not then you are a coward.

    The person is obviously a coward. Period. They clearly used an anonymous email address to send to her and it clearly has something to do with someone here with a disagreement with her.

    Personally, we've been tolerating to much shit from trolls, nutters, cranks, extremists and racists. Its time to make their existence in this forum more trouble than its worth. That's my opinion and I speak both as a moderator and as a member. Bells is one of my favorite posters here. I'll miss her and I'm tempted to take her absence out on every single racist and nutjob I encounter.

    WOW.....there are some real nutcases around. Hope they find out who it is.

    How can someone get your email address anyway?

    So sorry to hear this Bells, in the few short weeks I've been around here I have felt the greatest empathy and warmth towards you.
    Your good humour and level headedness and good grace will be sorely missed.

    I hope you are feeling safe, I sincerely hope and believe you have nothing to fear.

    If you do decide to leave and I can only believe that you mean exactly what you say, then it has been a genuine pleasure to meet you in this forum( it's a real place, with real people).

    Good Luck,
    Spud.

    Bells, I'm absolutely gutted. Please don't go. The forum will lose one of its nicest, smartest and most considerate members.

    Almost certainly the sad act who sent it isn't even on the same continent as you, so I highly, highly doubt that you're in any danger whatsoever. No doubt reading it came as a huge shock but I truly hope that that will pass, and that you'll reconsider and show this lowlife piece of shit that you have no fear of him.

    Please, please reconsider.

    One suggestion: forward the email to Plazma, if you haven't already done so. Possibly he can glean information from the email - an IP address, perhaps - that may tie with information in the Sciforums database. However, I don't think it should be automatically assumed that the sender is a Sciforums member, past or present. It's possible that it's someone you've encountered elsewhere.

    Regardless, I sincerely hope that the moron responsible is identified, prosecuted and dies alone in severe pain.

    Fucking coward.

    Stay, Bells - please.

    There are some real nutcases on this planet. It is exremely unfortunate one of them focused on you, Bells. You are one of our more level-headed and least vindictive moderators.

    I will do everything in my power to discover who this gutless idiot is and to ensure that they are permanently banned from sciforums.

    Moreover, if the gutless wonder is reading this, be aware that you have committed a legally actionable criminal offense. Measures are already in train to ensure your prosecution.

    ...and what if she is lying? I mean it is unlike her to lie...but still. Don't underestimate the victim.


    ...question everything always. What appears at first is not always what it is. I got this infraction for insulting a member by stating this, however what I speak is right. We dont know if Bells is trying to use this as a leverage to ban another member, it is not out of a possibility. Yes Bells is very charismatic persona, but that does not mean she is not capable of the crime.

    Even though we've got a few real kooks here, it's difficult to believe nay of them are THAT full of hate. However, something like that can't/shouldn't be treated lightly. It's probably a harmless threat but one never knows - far better to be safe than sorry!

    I hope you are able to catch him/her soon!!!
