How would you feel, or react?I'm not 100% sure, but I think I would be scared for you. I think I would feel helpless and worry about you. This is because I know you and you're my friend. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you.
If it were a stranger however, I think I wouldn't be as affected emotionally. I've been to bad newsgroups where that sort of thing happens daily. It feels different when people make threats here on Babble though, I care more.
Maybe I think that sending threats to Dr. Bob is OK because they do not affect him in any way, except by being an annoyance. I can't upset, anger or scare him with my threats so maybe that's why I send them to him. I think I like Dr. Bob because nothing fazes him.
> > You mean like if act on my threats and there was an investigation, he could get into trouble? I don't want Dr. Bob to get into trouble.

> Its more complicated, maybe you could look up threats and responsibility of others in certain professions and liabiltyYou mean there could be liability issues because Dr. Bob is an administrator and/or a pdoc?? I somehow don't think there are any liability issues if someone on a forum carries out her/his threats. Why should there be? People are not obliged to help others right?
Hmmm...I just realized this contradicts my previous posts about telling Dr. Bob to delete my address...now that I think about it, there is no need to delete anything because no one can get in trouble if I were to act on my threats...as long as someone didn't encourage me of course.
> I hope you show your pdoc, she is the best person to help you with understnding and trying to stop this.
She already knows that I make threats via e-mail to Dr. Bob. I don't think that showing her the e-mails will tell her something she didn't know.
