I received an abusive and threatening PM from a new forum member and I was wondering what I should do about it? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Add him to your ignore list and forget about it. If he keeps bothering you report him.

Man, sorry dude. was having a bad day. J/K, wasn't me. I would just ignore it as well. People who get bent out of shape over something on-line need slapped.

Forward it to Tony Soprano and then "forget about it".

It'll be handled.

That's funny; everyone assumes it was a guy who sent the alleged abusive PM.

I all for equal rights and think the ladies ought to be in the same suspect pool!

Default What was said

Since I do not know a mod to foward this to I will type it here verbatim. As you will see I am a "retard" so please understand. Here it is:

"Retard. Can you please remove yourself from the gene pool? Preferably in the most painful and agonizing way possible? STFU_s ithead, before you get your head kicked in"

So do you really think I deserve this even if I asked how to change muffler bearings?

Since I am a "retard" can someone please tell me a mods user name so I can forward it to them? Should I post this person's user name as well?

Sent PM to a guy who asked "what did I do". The worst I did was ask what someone might think is a dumb question. I do not as I have a bad back and was hoping for some advice that might make a simple task easier on my back.

Should I just stick to the parts for sale/wanted section? Never had an issue there.

stay and share.no need to stick to one forum. theres idiots everywhere unfortunetaly. I wanted to hear both sides just because you never know. I had someone try and screw me over saying I sent him a bum part for a yamaha r1. (front nose) sent him tons of pics. once he got it, he tried lieing and saying all this stuff was wrong. SO I didnt know what side you might have been on.
