An e-mailed BIOTERRIST threat at an Anti-NAIS site was traced back by the monitor to a USDA computer assigned to Dr. Bret Combs
nonais.org...
I hope the monitors here are watch for this sort of thing. The government is not above using plants to cause disruption. Government agents are
definitely monitoring the Anti-NAIS sites according to the site owners. We are periodically warned to watch what we say on line.

I have been threatened in a U2U with physical harm. It's no big deal to me. In fact I sort of expect it from some of the knuckle dragging morons
that frequent the political section. I goes with the territory so to speak.
A threat over the www. with anonymity; if anything, is just funny.

Funny until something actually happens.

Really? How? What? I thought we were just electrons in cyber space with anonymity.

As an average user I do not worry about it, it would require some "skillz" to actually find me and the people that could do it would not be likely
to bother, those people typically have lives. But if I was a high profile person, like a site owner/admin with more info scattered about yeah, it
would worry me. There are some real nuts on this site. Then again in that situation it might be better to have the crazy threats broadcast loud and
clear so as to be warned ahead of time.
But that is off topic, sorry the thread is about posting threats, and those are forbidden for good reason.

There was a thread recently in which some violent whacko was described in the newspapers as someone affiliated with ATS. Apparently he had a blog or
something on some other pixel-place as well. I obviously don't remember all the details but I'd hate to see ATS shut down because some disturbed
poster went over the edge and actually did something heinous in the real world. We'd all be guilty by association.
I frequently get people who have misinterpreted a point I was trying to make and I'll answer ONCE in an attempt to clarify but there's nothing to be
gained by trying to "convert" someone to my way of thinking.
If they don't agree they can wallow in their ignorance.
This is a discussion forum, not a courtroom. If someone has posted something we don't like, alert the appropriate people. We've even been provided
a convenience tool for doing so (complaint button) so that we can get back to the discussion and not be unduly distracted by petty arguments. I
wonder sometimes if those threatening violence on the internet actually talk that way to real people that disagree with them in their daily life. And
if so, how do they manage to stay out of jail?

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

Exactly the point being made. This is a very serious issue, and should be approached as such.
What prey tell is the difference between a threat uttered to my face, or over the Internet, I don't know where that threat originated from, it might
be on the other side of the globe from me, then again, it might be right next door.
I would encourage posters to think about that, before yielding to the temptation to make such statements. The very anonymity that the Internet
affords us, also has to make us take threats very seriously, because we don't know the source...
That's my take on it...
As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

I would suggest an exercise in the use of the ATS Search Function... If successful you may not like what you find...
Keyword Monkeys, not just for disturbing discoveries anymore...

The truth of a threat is often not seen in a post. You many say something kidding and it may get take serious. But then again, you may say something
serious and someone thinks your joking. How can a person tell really when online.
The development online of your personality doesn't really reveal a whole lot. You can be threatened from others by just saying that you are a MOD,
or something, you don't have to be throwing bombs around. Give power to some people and the do more harm just because they think they have power.

1984 is here, and now prevails.
You will look upon the ATS screen and remain quiet, emotionlist, subdued by our branding and adverts, all for your own well being, and the well being
of the human race. We are here to help you, awaken you,
We will scan your network device for deviant material bumping the mighty ATS complex and the masters. For we are the servants of the Archons, the
rulers of your reality of this universe.
I hear  , see  and obey!
