Franko Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Recently, I just put up a new post about Franko's True Combat Rules. I have had a fun time with it, and many of you have offered some constructive suggestions. However, I recently received some HATE email from a guy known as "Funnyman" at Funnyman@dotplanet.com. Here's his EXACT QUOTE, cut and pasted..I will be happy to forward the original email to anyone thats interested. I think people like this should not be welcome in the CM Community. Here's what he said: "U sorry sadisdic person u make it seem that CM isn't a challenge, U BASTERD. I wish i never went to that forum besides ive heard that rule before & it wasn't from u. So please stop the DAMN noncence. Urs truley funnyman" He doesn't appear to have the best spelling. What should I do? Franko P.S., in the subject line, he calls me an "assh*le".

Abbott Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 After reading the message you received I am sure that his parents would take away his keyboard privileges if they knew how he acted when online. I sent an explanatory e-mail to an address that was nuking me a few years back through MS IE. To my delight the Mother read my mail and corrected her youngster and politely returned a mail to me explaining. No worries mate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Fox Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Geez Franko, you're a lawyer and someone just called you a "sorry sadistic person", a "basterd" and an "assh*le" (like the asterisk there). So, what's new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyer Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hmmmm.... Franko, truth is a defense to libel, ya know. Are you sure your mother is not behind this episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Call the spelling police. If I had nickel for every time a dope that sent me a threat/nasty email, Id be having a pile of money to move around. Ive even had overt threats here in the forum (which of course are taken to be jokes by the immoderators). So funnyman isnt funny and this isnt worth yakking about.

MrSpkr Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Gyrene - Up your dosage. Triple it. The doctor said it would be okay! Franko - If you really find his behavior that annoying, send an email complaining to DotPlanet. If it violates any laws, request they contact his local ISP, who may then cancel his account. I understand that losing your access privileges for a semester can be rather debilitating to your academic career. Or - we can all just laugh at a gutless wonder who chooses to harass people through e-mails rather than in this public forum.

Frenchy Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Franko...I wouldn't worry about the person...just ignore him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Just tell him you know who he is and that a copy of his e-mail has been placed in his PERMANENT RECORD, and that he will never be able to get a job when he grows up. That should humble him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 I have enough concerns with the Forum topics without having to take care of peoples email issues as well. Your a big boy, you know what to do, now lets move on! Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
