It is still a problem nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #116

but what is "abusive"? hfojvt Feb 2016 #8

It's simple - don't carry public arguments over into private messages hack89 Feb 2016 #16

Like that time Dr Strange sent me nude photos of 19th century presidents Orrex Feb 2016 #19

aha hfojvt Feb 2016 #21

Lots of strangeness to go around, but this is a different Dr Strange Orrex Feb 2016 #27

Based on her public posting tammywammy Feb 2016 #40

Well maybe you should request reinstatement for her. Kingofalldems Feb 2016 #43

You make a rather creative rationalization. LanternWaste Feb 2016 #44

It was a nasty pm yuiyoshida Feb 2016 #185

Nice devils advocate, but that poster also questioned the race of another well know DUer. Rex Feb 2016 #176

Yes, finally another troll bites the dust. And your point is well taken cyberswede, abusive seaglass Feb 2016 #10

bout' time, but she is a "mystic" so I'm sure she will "mysteriously" be back LOL snooper2 Feb 2016 #11

I'm not surprised, though I have seen more people comment on another DU mail harrasser. demmiblue Feb 2016 #14

Come to think of it, I did have one from her: "Whatever. She wik" (yes, that is all). demmiblue Feb 2016 #33

I got one but it was not abusive... Phentex Feb 2016 #142

There are a few here with never-ending time-outs. cwydro Feb 2016 #100

I'm sure their previous account was CreekDog Feb 2016 #77

Indeed, I was surprised that the poster was here only 3 + years salin Feb 2016 #127

A while back, someone suggested that darkangel was Skippy's caricatured sock CreekDog Feb 2016 #134

I thought it might be backwoodsbob... Phentex Feb 2016 #141

Interesting choice of words Duckhunter935 Feb 2016 #131

Another moral: multiple timeouts are ineffective Gormy Cuss Feb 2016 #30

I Think it would be great if multiple timeouts resulted in a ban Warren DeMontague Feb 2016 #76

Yep, automatic. Gormy Cuss Feb 2016 #92

Indeed. Warren DeMontague Feb 2016 #93

At least three of the four deserve it. I don't know seveneyes. stevenleser Feb 2016 #129

Upon further review, I think this is admins preventing them from getting stevenleser Feb 2016 #188

Ha, that is my question in ATA, might as well delete it then. There is one poster who has been seaglass Feb 2016 #139

See if they answer it. pintobean Feb 2016 #140

Lol... I think she is already back. n/t demmiblue Feb 2016 #174

I guess I am not special enough Jenny_92808 Feb 2016 #107

I know of one DUer who sent abusive PMs to me and I believe SID and a few other stevenleser Feb 2016 #110

Agree, I don't see the worry in someone getting to post here that has been in time out 3 or more Rex Feb 2016 #179

If abusive PMs was all it took to get bounced, quite a few DUers would have been gone long ago Major Nikon Feb 2016 #119

Not sure why that one lasted as long as she did. Codeine Feb 2016 #121

There are several who get repeat timeouts over and over again... NaturalHigh Feb 2016 #148

Agree with you 100% on that. Time outs do no good. They come back and it's the same thing over Autumn Feb 2016 #153

I can think of two that just came back last week. NaturalHigh Feb 2016 #172

I think this is the Poster that probably sent Bravenak the Letters JI7 Feb 2016 #158

What makes you think that? pintobean Feb 2016 #160

from the same area it was sent, the way the letter was written JI7 Feb 2016 #161

I don't think she has that in her. pintobean Feb 2016 #163

mean and stupid is enough to do that JI7 Feb 2016 #164

I disagree. And, it's still a cheap shot. pintobean Feb 2016 #165

that's why i said i think JI7 Feb 2016 #167

Questioning another well known DUers race did it for me. Rex Feb 2016 #177

She praised you, though pintobean Feb 2016 #180

I liked her until I saw her question anothers race. Rex Feb 2016 #181

She's been doing that for quite some time. pintobean Feb 2016 #183

I know people do alert stalk, it is just surprising to find out who it is at times. Rex Feb 2016 #186

IMHO Posters on timeout should also be on time out from PM priviledges. nt PufPuf23 Feb 2016 #171

I remember that certain event. Rex Feb 2016 #175

I wondered if anyone had seen my alert message... yuiyoshida Feb 2016 #182
