I hope work gets better for you soon and that you have a good weekend.

And if someone tells you (or any other LGBT person) that you are "depraved," then to hell with them. Their opinion is bigoted and meaningless, so please don't let it bother you.

I'll send you the link, would you clarify the policies in this forum? asking honestly because this seemed to me to be benign.

Was what you sent me hidden? If so I have no idea why.

Also I don't know why you need clarification on our "policies".

Has someone here told you you can't post here?

EarlG can look in my inbox, I guess I just freaked out and tried to lead them out for information and it ended up being so toxic, I couldn't stand it.

I'm not sure how it works, but I believe that your alert will go to MIRT and/or the Admin. Abusive PMs are a violation of TOS on DU. You don't have to put up with them.

After you alert on it, I recommend blocking that poster from being able to send you any other PMs. Do this by putting them on ignore and choosing the block mail option.

I'm sorry that this happened to you.

16. I don't know how to report an abusive PM
Fri Mar 23, 2012, 05:05 PM
Mar 2012

It just happened, but I don't think I could have saved it. Now I sound like an idiot reporting things that I imagine happened because I couldn't catch that one

I tend to be pretty intelligent with OS related and Network related items. I am not sure why that got through, and hope it isn't an excuse to blow this off, but otherwise, I wouldn't want an innocent person to get charged, either.

I just want them to leave me the hell alone.

Mar 2012

Just click that button marked "alert abuse" if you receive a PM that is threatening or abusive.

If you deleted the PM, you can still send a note to Skinner or EarlG.

Everyone that isn't Evangelical is sinful.

Personally, I think that anyone that denounces Rainbow Brite dolls, Tickle me Elmo, Chess *too intellectual, as tools of the devil (my sister) has a whole in their head.

Those that embrace love for your fellow human beings, education, family, those whose ideologies you don't embrace but can discuss anyway, cooking, and everything that makes us human beings that get along - that's my ideology.

I kind of reached my threshhold for "desperate need for a hug" and I believe DU met it.

Maybe I'm overly sensitive?

Try to tell someone that who they are and what they feel in their heart is wrong. That is what is depraved.

I think it's only fitting that we all gather round and share hugs with those who need them!



For all my friends for whom a hug would go a long way.
