If people are going to send me these private messages, and really I wish the mods let me post them so everyone could get a good laugh at the senders expense, at least empty out your own mailbox so I can send a properly written response.

I also have the same problem.
It's amazing what someone will send you in a PM and not say here.

I'll side with the Capitan here
ONLY PUSSIES WRITE ANONYMOUS LETTERS. IF YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WRITE... BACK IT UP WITH YOUR REAL NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER OR SHUT THE **** UP.
if it's not worth the trouble, then shut up

It's because you are allowed to use profanity in pm's and many people here are not mature enough to convey their point without saying f*ck you.

I've gotten a couple PMs.
But, it was about things totally unrelated to MacNN threads. One was from AKCrab wanting information about vacationing in Hawaii at my friend's place and the others were about other non-MacNN issues.

tip of the day™:
put 'em up on your private website and post a link here - or, to make it your personal "wall of shame" make your sig' a permanent link to that page and update it whenever you get postworthy PM's ... that's what I would've done.

There was some doofus, ghost_flash, I think, who sent out a ton of PMs to people, calling them "terrorist sympathisers", funny guy.
Best just to say it in here, that's what I do. I get banned though, but what's life without a little spice.
Happy New Year, folks.

Weird, I got this PM from him:
Hi BRussell,
I just wanted to say that after reading your posts, I think you're really hot. Give me a call, and we'll go out and get strawberry creme frappuccinos. Here's my number: 202-456-1111.
Yours truly,
Captain Obvious

i think you are wrong
for those messageboarders who take it serious enough to write anonymous PM nasty messages, they should take it up a notch
list your name and phone number so you can challenge each other to a fist fight or something. if you are going this far already, GO ALL OUT.
otherwise, dont do anything and put him on your ignore list. it is as simple as that.

 I know where that number rings.
As I live in the DC area I use several variations of it myself when I am
at a store that asks me for a home phone number for marketing purposes.
We'll have to see if anybody calls it.

I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Sometimes I send PMs to people to compliment them on a point they made in the political lounge, or to ask a question of some sorts. I never knew a secret society of flaming etc existed on MacNN

We need an "Air dirty laundry here" thread, whereby everyone posts the various nasty PMs they've received. Could be quite classic.

Dang it, I'm sooo not cool any more... no one's angrily PMed me in like... forever. I've send a few angry PMs to the mods about some of the brutal anti-Christian flames when they were happening, but other than that I don't think I've sent any... if I think someone is a jerk I tell em on the forum... that said I did have one person PM me and tell me I was an awful Christian for some reason

If anyone wants to meet me in person I say bring it on, I"m a 20 year old, Canadian who's young and foolish enough to take on the lot of ya! haha
The only reason I wouldn't post my address here is because someone on here might say mail something to my house and have my parents read it.
"David, why is it people on the internet think you're gay?"

It seems that a year at college has matured you. You are now much more funny than before. I actually enjoy reading your posts from time to time. Now don't screw it up!
