An Apolyton First? Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Last night, in the OT's Michael Moore thread, Chegitz Guevara threatened, in all seriousness, to have me killed for, supposedly, thread jacking the thread. Is this a first for this site, or have there been other death threats?

Just wondering.

Italics boy can't even use the name change function without making a fool of himself, so I doudt that the threat is seroius. In the time I have been here, I have been mocked, made fun of, belittled, but never threatened with death. My advice would be, Don't sing it, bring it!

chegitz guevara is a damn fool and most people who've read his posts would know by now. I'm surprised however that he would actually post something like that. Well, there's one born every day I guess.

I thought it was a rather amusing line. Very to-the-point, rather EvC-esque. The fact that chegitz probably couldn't and wouldn't fight his way out of a paper bag is what helped it seem so amusing to me

That's how most communists are. All nice and supposedly cool on the outside but on the inside all too willing to silance those with a little common sense that oppose their point of view. And people wonder why the Soviet Union and China were hell holes to live in. Comrade indeed. Bet you ten dong that this is how all the so called enlightened communists are.


That or the guy controlling the che and giancarlo dls just got his personalities mixed up.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Amusing? Could've been but for the fact that

a. He didn't indicate he was joking, either by the smilie that sets the tone for the post or by any smilie in the post.
b. Nothing in Chegitz's previous posts indicates that he ever does anything in an "EVC-esque" manner.
c. It was directed towards me. I tend to view my own demise quite unfavorably, I can assure you!


Sorry, but seeing the following

aimed at you is NOT funny in my book.

It is also interesting to note that Chegitz hasn't replied yet to his own thread (well, not after the death threat.) Hmmm... think he's on his way here to Knoxville?

Spray - Giancarlo's not a DL. I've checked.

John - I've had a lot bigger things than words pointed my direction and sent my way, so I tend to view words as nothing more than "would you like to dance, honey?"

I haven't seen him on ICQ, either. So I don't know what's going on with him in the last couple of days.

Everyone:

I have to admit to being made a bit unsettled by Chegitz's post to JohnT. If someone made that sort of threat towards me — regardless of symbology — I'd be worried because, frankly, the Internet isn't quite as anonymous as some folks think it is.

At the very least, the adminstrators and/or moderators should speak privately with Chegitz about this. He should also get a vacation and PCR, for what it's worth. Death threats should never be taken lightly, particularly so when they're as "direct" as Chegitz implied towards JohnT.

Just my two bits.

That's what smileys are for, clever boy. There weren't any smileys in that post - just the threat.

Just because he's an ally of yours doesn't make it any better what he did - or does it?

If anyone ever spots the merest hint of a smiley in any one of my prolific outbursts of monstrous sarcasm I'll award them a shiny penny from my very own pocket. I think they're the work of the devil. Smug, grinny little ***** that they are.

It's nice to see I've been awarded an ally, however. Can I swap him for one who's politics come somewhere near my own?

Apparently, JohnT's not quite sure you see. Hence this thread.

Anyway, it's unacceptable behaviour in my book the way it was posted. A restriction would be in order.
