In the last couple of months I've had several reports (and experienced it myself) of ladies on this board being sent abusive/weird/creepy/slightly threatening PMs. Both of the people sending these messages have portrayed hemselves as being very nice/helpful in public and then were sending weird/nasty stuff in private. I don't know why this is happening, but if you feel uneasy about messages you're receiving, please feel free to send them on to me, and I'll see if I can make it stop. There's a "Report Message" feature on the PM to allow you to send them to a moderator. Please don't feel like you have to put up with abusive language or anything else making you uneasy, especially from these strangers that just appear on our board.
I forgot to mention: it helps if you just don't reply to the PMs.
Sorry to hear about creeps bothering the ladies.

Thanks Kat! :)
Wow, I'm surprised this has happened here; though I guess I shouldn't be.
If there is any escalation into first-hand encounters of this nature, I'm sure there are a few of us that will step up and help. ;)
Men like that only make it harder for the rest of us. >:(
Sorry Ladies. 8)
Would you please "out" the offenders by posting their usernames/board names in this thread? I would like to know who they are so that I do not communicate with them at all.

good idea.
Actually, the two "offenders" were portraying themselves as women. Who knows if they really are.
I new it wasn't me when I read this.
"...portrayed hemselves as being very nice/helpful in public..."
LOL Puke, but you ARE very nice.

Now I got the creeps. :P
;D
I was thinking that because of situations like this maybe one way for people to help spare others from also stepping into a problem is to PM other friends in your social network and let them know what is going on.
Gossip is often thought of in negative terms... but it is really social intelligence if done judiciously.
Kat once voiced concern about someone's behavior to us and potentially prevented a problem from developing. (Thanks)
Hard to believe, but this internet thing is full of freaks!

Thank you... I would be glad to become a moderator so that I can ban them and will be glad to take the heat from my fellow board members for infringing on someone's right to free speech.
Rosie is now dubbed "Protector of the Ladies" :D

Nice eyes. A little hard to focus on them, however.

How much is too much? :-\
I can answer this one! When you see a bubbly, oozing, green, purple, red-eyed, people eating monster and feel like throwing yourself out of the nearest window.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of that when seeing the acronym "LSD."
If that sort of LSD is oozing green stuff, you need a mechanic...

I'll take either >:D
Careful now, one of them is taken, and the other is for sale. A certain husband would not want you to get the two mixed up. ;)
