dear j-f, I did not turn you in to SI administration. I wrote to the SI administrator and I advised you that posting something even in fun that could be interpreted as clear threats or suggestion of threats of life of someone in public office was a bad or just plain stupid idea. I also believe you mentioned my name. Considering the name of this thread I thought that the subject post was really stupid. This post may or may not have been deleted and I don't think that SI sanctioned you in any way. In my email to them I clearly stated that I believed this was kidding around only in stupid taste.

There are those who still deny the subject of this thread.

Were you sanctioned?
Did SI delete the post? Yes they did.

I am a responsible member of SI and you I do not consider you my comrade. I also informed you about your poor taste and told you exactly what I was going to do and why. My action do not fit the definition of an informer, or someone who has turned informer. The main definition of snitch is a thief and I have not taken anything.

You posted stupidly, I informed you you posted stupidly, I informed you that I was going to ask SI to delete your stupid post. I informed you that I informed SI I thought you had acted stupidly which is to say you did not intend to violate the TOU. That is not snitching. That is calling a stupid act stupid. My name was in your post and that gave me the absolute right to address your stupidity that involved me by name.

If you have a need to insult me because I dared to explain to you that you had made a very stupid post so be it.

I think this guy meant this as a joke but it should be removed and maybe
a few words to the wise to J_F.

mentioning a person name and talking about a bomb is screwed up.
