This is what I'm talking about. If we had all taken it this way and responded this way, this could have been a very enjoyable thread. It seems bizarre that this went over the heads of the mods and the more active user community and turned into a real dispute about hatred and threats. He was portraying a charicature of a villian.Selina said:

It's not a case of going over the mods heads, whether intended as humour or not, threats won't be permitted.

Threatening to divulge personal information and/or personal threats (even veiled threats) will result in posting privileges being revoked WITHOUT WARNING and, in extreme cases, the possibility of contacting the user's ISP or law enforcement

Ok I see it all clearly now. You perceived a real threat and acted accordingly. We can all rest easy now. Thank you. 
I know he did kinda single you out for a negative comment. While it might have been funny to some, I'm sure you didn't appreciate it and to that extent this comment was the wrong thing to put in here. Thing is, those that know the history of this character know that his many threats, such as offering a fist fight, for example, are so outrageous that you realize its just part of the humor. I'll admit my statement about small minds was also probably out of line. Alot of it has to do with ones familiarity with this character and how his actions are perceived. But Hey, if Terb rules specifically address his threat behaviour then the Mods have the right to take action. He could have been given a warning but I suspect that action has already been tried to no avail.luv4lust said:
So long, BMS. I'll miss ya big fella.
A fact that was seemingly missed by most contributors to this thread.Bud Plug said:No, all his posts were tongue in cheek.
If an artists paintings aren't well recieved, it isn't the fault of those viewing, the artist has failed to communicate.
If a comedian isn't funny, it isn't the fault of the audience, the comedian just wasn't any good.
If certain posts were not taken as intended, its probably the fault of the poster.

BMS was mildly amusing but the funniest part was that people took him seriously and got their knickers in a knot. I love how the Mod had him on "watch" from the get go like BMS was some kind of special high-alert terrorist threat. I can only imagine having to take on that kind of responsibility in my life with so much at stake. I guess that just goes to show that intelligence and a sense of humour definitely aren't prerequisites for being a mod around here.
