Thats some over the years.
That's not quite as frightening as what goes on with politics forums... one of which actually had a police member, (privately) use resources to track down members who had views different to his... I kid you not, this really happened.
Needless to say, he was of the hardcore left leaning persuasion and ended up in gaol for manslaughter of his wife.
Emails to members' unlisted email promising harm to family members, stopped when his sentence began.


As always, be very very careful about what information (of an identifying nature), if any, is put forward on any forum.
