But if that's the case, I don't see why nath should be allowed to out of the blue threaten someone with smashing their mailbox.

There's a big difference between threats of physical violence against people and threats to destroy property, both in the way they've been dealt with on these forums in the past and legally.

mia,

"There's a big difference between threats of physical violence against people and threats to destroy property"

So on 2+2 it's OK to write "I am going to come and burn your house down while you are at work."

That seems to miss the point of these policies.

I never said I agreed with it.

thread's being locked.

there are at least 3 active mods in oot. they will make these decisions.

physical threats, while not allowed, do not constitute an emergency which requires out of forum banning. and as i said above, the oot mods get to make the call on this one. that is, I'm leaving it to them to decide if there was an actual threat.


because jokes are allowed. i specifically abolished die of aids and die in a grease fire as I found them being overused. if the next catchy phrase spreading like bacteria is " i'm gonna knock your teeth out," i'll abolish that too.
