Apple Wins!! Students and Taxpayers Lose!!
If you need a reason why, I'm starting to receive hostile email and some threats that they're going to target my work locations, not with violence but with spam, verbal attacks and promoting lies to my superiors about me.
This is kind of serious and I don't know who it is. Removing the messages could prevent *more* damage.
:rolleyes:
I can't seem to do so. Even the ones that DON'T have an age over 30 min.
I'd appreciate it.

The spam I send is far less threatening, but much more annoying.
Just ask OscarWilde :)

I asked an admin friend online but he tells me tracing messages through Yahoo is not the same as Outlook...it's *much* harder.
I take it I'm not getting this guy?
Ooops! I just got another one? No....regular spam.
Still, I'm hoping Peter will rip me out of there.

Nobody would fire you based on something said by someone outside the company. It's just an idle threat.

I shant
??? Why not? What do you mean by "more substantial"? An email to you?
I know why don't get along, but this isn't a whim Peter, this is starting to affect my personal and professional life.
Besides, I'm not asking you to wipe the thread, just my posts.
If not, can you lock it and send it to the bottom?
I'm actually worried Peter. I don't want this nut talking to my coworkers.

But like I say, without further explanation, nothing will happen.

"Peter,
This email is in regards to an official petition for the removal of my posts from or the dissolution of material links from the thread:
Apple Wins!! Students and Taxpayers Lose!!
As I had stated recently, on OSY, I would like said information removed due to ad hom personal attacks, via email, that have threatened to damage both my private and professional life. While I can't forward you the email(it doesn't have a return address and Yahoo doesn't permit forwarding such messages), I can certainly give you the copy:
"Your no teacher. You think you know everything you MACLOT but I know you. You lie about everyting and now Im going to tell everyone the bullshit you've been telling everyone on Ars Technica."
This message was the material contained within the email sent by: "wsvs".
The next message, addressed by "nobody" indicated:
"I wonder how your bosses will react to all the crap you talk about on Ars?"
I don't find this humorous at all. Contacting anyone from work and indicating that I speak about work, even if it is good things, is not something ANYONE wants made known. While I've no doubt learned my lesson and while I refuse to either share personal experience or frequent Ars, I still need this matter resolved.
I shared an enormous amount of personal and professional information that, in retrospect, I'd rather not have floating around Ars. While most individuals in OSY are aware of all this. I don't want further emails sent to my work address or attacks targeted to my working location. Both those emails were sent only late last night, and I yet don't know the extent of such menacing.
While removing it wouldn't mitigate the threat completely, it would prevent the author from returning to my pages or finding out more about *me* if he hasn't kept track. This is often the case as I always, myself, return to Ars when I forget links that are posted. I believe most ppl do this also.
While I don't appreciate your inferring I was lying, I'm not going to dwell on it. You can check my links. They all check out. I AM the webmaster at the HeraldStore. I AM the webmaster for my school and I DO assist in web-network issues for the MDCPSS. Was I ever untruthful in my posts? No. Too truthful? Yes.
I would appreciate any assistance in this matter.
Mad."
Again, that's pretty substantial. I hope you can help.
