JAN_is: Great, so I post a few "anti" or as I prefer to think, alternative points of view in the Obama threads and I receive threatening messages from American men who are not I have to say forum posters, but clearly read the threads.
Hi Jan,the sad thing is that we all have different points of view,and should be able to say how we personally feel, and our slant on certain subjects.
Unfortunately this is not always the case,and people are all too ready to cut you down if you dare to oppose them.
I have never seen you "anti" only up for a debate if one is available. These people who have mailed you have obviously just picked out certain comments and not read the whole thread,otherwise I feel sure mail boxes would be flooded with these kind of letters.j.m.o

venusenvy: Really? Thats crazy
Yah, really. My reputation precedes me it seems.
Mails are just words on a screen, and can be forgotten about with a quick press of a button. Not that I'm demeaning them, as it's not nice to receive hate of any kind. Face to face, it's something completely different, and makes it more personal.
ya it makes me sad..Everyone seems to be nice intelligent folks on here and it only ruins the fun or topics if we give into insults or mean messages to one another..Here is a group hugg for everyone from me..

I meant OSAMA threads
It has upset me a little as I´ve never received anything like this during the years I´ve been a member, but I won´t fret about it for too long, and regular forum posters know me better than those idiots who make threats, even when we have disagreements.

So, they say they are from America, eh? But, don't post. I think you got pot stirrers, me thinks!

Nope not one Jan unless you are going to send me some I like you can agree or disagree with folk on the forums an in the main I never have a problem with the folk I argue with .....We should never do such a thing...Just shows the minset of the Morons who try to force their point of view on folk.
I thought we did not agree with the ideas that this sort of behaviour represents....
Anyway we have been argeeing to much recently....Hate mail coming....

Ugh. If they have something to say they should reply in the forums. Not cool.
I'm someone who was told recently at a location in a quite threatening manner, "I know you, you're cynical orange, and you're not welcome here!"
Yah, that's so much easier to handle than an Email.
Anything said to them, could potentially escalate into something a little bit more harmful than the feeling you get opening an Email.
Wow!! where the hell were you? At a dance for the mentally dysfunctional? A singles dance for connecting whack jobs? A creepy stalkers R us meet? Thats really too freaky...I dont know what I would do in that situation.
