What you should do? And I am allowed to give you advice? Ok, then.
If, after careful reading, you discover that I insulted or atacked someone in
personally abusive manner, intentiously, just do do harm to someone - this is
what Pordzik did - _then_ you should contact me and warn me seriously or ban me
or whatever. But I know for sure that this won't happen, because I do not do
this. I do not insult. I may have weak English, but I do never insult someone. I
always try to argue.

If you however follow the way of simply counting complaints that are not based
on facts, then of course you might say, oh, these science reports or questions
of Rolf are a real pain for our readers. What should we do to sacrifice someone
to satisfy the lower instincts of our readers. - But I'm sure nobody wil
complain without facts and hard evidence like me here in the Pordzikcase.

So, I still don't get the difference between statement and threat here. Because
the above should be trivial and since I do not misbehave, I see no danger for
me. Of course it might happen that language leads me into false directions. Then
it would be nice if I could get a fast feedback. If that happens once in a
while, it shouldn't disturb too much.

No Bob. I do not demand tighter controls. I wished you would read the text of
the messages in question. Nothing more nothing less. Now if steered underground
asasinate is no personal character assassination, then it must be my weak
English again. Where is the problem? The point is that you did never say the
steered underground assassinate would be no insult, but it's as if you wanted to
teach me to let it be... Or...!

This is worse than direct violence because it's something like double bind.
Something very dangerous. And surely not meant with the charta here in CCC.

I hope I could show you the different aspects. So maybe 1 point, but 10 aspects,
minor points.

Pity that you didn't comment on the other big points.
