Online threats of violence

I don't moderate this board, and I have nothing to do with this board other than to list in what is SUPPOSED to be the "Used Screen Printing Equipment CLASSIFIEDS" section as I sell off what little remaining screen printing equipment I still have.

I've been noting an increasing (and in my personal opinion, rapidly escalating) trend of threatening others with beatings, etc.

I am putting some links into this post so that not only will everyone posting will understand the severity, but maybe the administrators/moderators of this board will be more diligent in their involvement and respond accordingly to people who make such threats of violence on the internet.

I remember in High School there was a class which taught us things about politics and political statements.....things were classified as "glittering generalities", or "misdirection", or "misinformation", etc., etc., etc.

I started this thread because of a rapidly increasing spate of threats of violence on this forum.

Now, all of a sudden, someone (SpiderHelper), has rudely decided to completely change the direction/content of this thread into an "interview" via copy/paste with RWB. The content of the copy/paste has nothing whatsoever to do with the initial post in this thread, and serves only to be more "free" advertising for RWB. Talk about "misdirection". Even seasoned politicians will "sort of" answer a question or at least "almost" stay on topic.

If I could remove his post from this thread, I would.
