bush_cheney2004 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 Sorry to waste a new topic on this, but I just received (12:44 PM MDT) a very nasty "personal conversation" without even opening the notice because of the mouse-over feature. Does placing the member on my ignore list block any attempts to communicate or harass me in the future ? I already have my PM feature disabled. Out of respect for the forum I will not share the member's name or message content, as it is quite inflammatory. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Charles Anthony Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 Putting them on ignore should solve that problem. HOWEVER, you are expected to be open to receive messages from the moderator. If you block a moderator's message, DO NOT complain that you did not receive notice. EDITED TO ADD: Sending abusive messages through the PM function is not acceptable any more than if it was posted publicly. If any member receives abusive messages from a fellow member, feel free to Report it if you want a moderator intervention Quote We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society. << Où sont mes amis ?

bush_cheney2004 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks...I can do that at the cost of losing that member's posted content, which is probably for the better now. I actually prefer to receive moderator messages through the notification feature as a matter of convenience, as I don't often access my e-mail account. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
jbg Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 PM's are a good way to defuse the possibility of a nasty public argument. Some people don't have that goal, however.

bush_cheney2004 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Posted May 3, 2014 No member should be subjected to the kind of abusive message directed at me today, regardless of the goal. To avoid any such conflict or misunderstanding(s), I have never PM'd or initiated a "Personal Conversation" with another member, even when solicited in the forum to do so.

Charles Anthony Posted May 3, 2014 Report Posted May 3, 2014 You may be right. Report it, ignore it and move on..... or not. Quote We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society. << Où sont mes amis ? Ils sont ici, ils sont ici... >>
guyser Posted May 4, 2014 Report Posted May 4, 2014 I got a good laugh out of this thread. No kidding. Quote

I received a rather unpleasant message from him a while back. Quote

Of course, I still will not make an issue of any particular poster. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."
