Last night Will Pitt repeatedly threatened another member with physical violence. After the moderators deleted those messages he sent the threats again to the member via private message, during which he challenged the member to report his behavior to the moderators, implying that he would not be held accountable for his actions.
We don't enjoy banning people, particularly people who have been here a long time. WilliamPitt left us absolutely no choice in this matter. This is entirely his own fault and responsibility.
Locking.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jan 23, 2013, 10:10 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: What on earth does the comment of the alerter have to do with the alerted post? The post itself is crude, and doesn't explain the trigger for the anger it displays, but other than that, not something to be locked, I think.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The use of "fuck" is nothing new or shocking on DU. The alert is not OK, however. Now our latest repeat troll is starting to use the alert function to trash Will Pitt.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Make sure the condom is intact
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It is a naughty word, but understand why that word was used. McCain gave us Sarah!

If they're making up fake accounts just to smear you, then you've already won.
