#20 Got a duplicate of that one here.

Yes, it does sound like a death threat. C'mon, Fred, you KNOW the cops would be interested in that one.

#21 And another here.

Three death threats? How stupid do you have to be?

Since it's also directed at the readers and commentors, and he has posted my home address, is it unreasonable to assume he's also threatening me?

#30 Not-Boris-but-sounds-just-like-him, this is not a public BBS. It's a privately-owned website. I don't think there's any chance of anyone as dense as yourself comprehending the difference, but there is a humongous difference.

#31 Me! Me! I used Boris' name on this site! Come after me too, dude!

60 years ago, my father went to Europe at government expense to take out a bunch of guys like you. I don't have his old M-1 Garand, but I'd like to take a few shots (metaphorical ones, in the courtroom, of course) at you anyway. It's sort of a family tradition, taking out fascists, that is.

I've been nailing a few every day. I check in when I need a break from the clinic/lab/writing, and whenever I find Boris making an ass of himself I gently help him resolve his embarrassment by hitting the Delete key that Fred kindly left for me under the front door mat.

Today I've hit a dozen so far and there's a couple more; perhaps Boris is mutating ala the Andromeda Strain. I certainly didn't turn on the Pulodium Q38 space modulator, so I don't know what happened.

#37 Unfortunately, by having the [off-topic or abusive comments deleted] tag showing, idiotarian-friendly websites and users will take a "deleted" comment to mean that Rantburg can't take criticism.

Never mind that it is mindless LLL spewing from a couple of idiots and is hateful to boot. That won't matter to them. LLL sites will make the assumption that "intelligent" comments had been deleted, and use that as "proof" that Rantburg is a closed, right-wing-only forum with no room for debate.

Nothing could be further from the truth, but you'd be hard pressed to convince the LLL asshats.

#40 How about instead of just deleting the comment, delete it and leave a link to the same comment that was posted earlier, since most of it is the same anyway. That way, people can also see what was deleted, and unmutual's point could be taken care of as well.

#43 Prima Facie Evidence
This is probably irrelevant to the mind that spewed it -- seeing as that mind likely suffers from a psychosis inducing reaction formation (e.g., identification with the Croatian Aggressors/Fascists). Nonetheless, evidence is what has been accepted by a tribunal charged with finding facts and passing judgment -- events or statements are not typically described as prima facie. Prima facie simply means that “on the face of it,” and is descriptive of a burden of production and proof being carried, shifting the evidentiary burden to the opposing party (i.e., what you presented was sufficient to establish a fact or case unless disproved) . . . AH, HECK, NEVER MIND! WHO CARES! You are simply an IslamoSlav spewing nonsense because you won’t deal with your real issues. Grow up, face your fears, and stop blaming other people for why you feel so unhappy.

#45 Fred, I come from a large, very conservative, long-time American family. We had members on both sides of every war the United States fought up to the Spanish American one (Google "WEATHERFORD"). Both my parents were one of ten children, and I have literally, HUNDREDS of cousins. If you need a few Louisiana hill-country rednecks to keep order, just say the word - I think I can chase up a posse of 30-40 in an hour or two. With or without guns. I'll need another week-ten days for heavy weapons. Oh, and there's a branch of the family out in California - in the Grass Valley/Yuba City area, if you need a West Coast division. Keeping order sometimes requires "employing" a private security firm.

#46 Fred, I'm hardly a legal expert, and I'm probably not as old as a lot of the guys here, but you might want to consider having some sort of dump where you can archive the guy's "comments" (read: crap), so that you have something to show the authorities, in case it comes to that.

A clear set of rules and etiquette for posting might also be a good idea, so that people who have been blocked can't complain that they were treated unfairly.

#51 Den Beste had a post the other night in which he summed up the rights of people who post comments on other people's sites:

Your right to free expression in a privately owned forum:

You don't have one.

Boris needs to learn that, AND to learn that attacking someone's system by spewing random crap at it could land him in a lot of trouble.

#62 we realize that you are scared

How many people you have in there, Sybil?

I'm not scared, least of all of you. You're the coward; frightened of boogeymen.

BTW -- if you think we're committing TREASON here, please, send my name along with all the evidence you have "against" me to the DOJ. Seriously, I really, really, really, want you to do that.

Of course, they might want to look at your sending death threats through email. You might also want to read this. Apparently California has a law against sending threats over the internet.

You've posted my home address, and you've made threats against all our lives. Maybe the Simi Valley police deserve a call...
