So, getting caught up on MG email I run across this, which I think you might find interesting.
DISCLAIMER: If I detect something approaching actual threats (inlcuding major no-nos like "why don't you just kill yourself"), as opposed to breaking someone's balls, just talking tough, general adolescent behavior, etc., I will be compelled to take appropriate action. Act like a grown up if you can handle it. That being said, as an anarchist there's a few things I don't do very well, controlling others is literally the last thing I want to do.
HINT: If you want me to keep something secret, which I can do, you ask if I'll keep a secret first. Then if I say yes, you can tell me what you want to tell me. Don't just tell me a bunch of shit with and follow it up with "just between me and you." That's manipulative and I don't respond well.
HINT No. 2: I wouldn't have said anything about this until he said he was going to the police. That was a mistake. . . .
MY OPINION:
You really shouldn't make fun of him because he sounds like someone who has been utterly sheltered. It's kinda low rent to pick on "children", pick on someone who can deal with you at your own knuckle-dragging mouth-breather level.
Here it is, with my insightful commentary.

Hello,
I just wanted to inform you that a few members posting in the following thread http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showth...=34166&page=17 stole pictures from my Photobucket account and are posting the pictures on this forum with the intent of harassment. This issue actually originated on another forum and the members have been disciplined (Shaolin Crane was banned). Now they are attempting to continue with the harassment on this forum.

Harassment is kind of a vague term. Basically it doesn't rise tot he level of being explicitly blocked. When it crosses into threats, stocking, etc., that's different.

I have informed Photobucket about the situation and they have removed my pictures from their account but they are still attempting to post them on this thread. If you can put an end to the thread or make sure that my picture doesn't get posted on the thread again I would appreciate it.

Can't help you. I'm anti-IP. You don't own pictures of yourself on the internet and neither do I. You put it out there, it's out there forever. Realize some people are adolescents and grow a thicker skin. (As an owner of the site; however, I reserve the right to refuse hosting any content because that is my scarce resource. Likewise, it is legitimate for PhotoBucket to make its own choices.)

Please be aware that the picture compromises the safety of not only me but my family as well. I am very concerned of what might happen if this continues. I have also printed a hard copy of this thread and I will be informing the Police on Saturday of this continued harassment.

This is where I got a little annoyed and I'll leave it at that.
CAVEAT: Did any of you numb nuts actually threaten this poor kid? God I hope you're not that stupid.

Here are the screen names and real names of the main individuals involved:
Shaolin Crane - Guy Bowers
fiveohwblow - Justin Knight
N8Dogg98 - Nate Sowden
5.0droptop - Shawn L. Jackson
blackax - I don't know this guy but he plans on hosting my picture on his server. See post #166.

I just gave Shaolin Crane mod status. How do you like them apples?

Lastly, if you plan on contacting the members above I ask that you keep the details of this e-mail private. I don't want them to know that I am aware that they are posting on this forum.

Should have mentioned that first. See above.

I hope you can help put an end to this.
Thanks,

I hope you will learn from this experience that not everyone in the world likes you and that's just the way it is. (You should see some shit people have said about me.) It's also completely, totally irrelevant and a waste of your time to even be that worried about it. You're probably a nice enough guy, with a nice family, WTF do you care what a bunch of strangers say about you? Just go do your own thing. Fuck'm.
