It's an internet forum where people can type messages to each other if they want to, or not.
If the public element is a bit much for you why not try 'gazzing' all the people that enjoy interacting with you instead of whinging at me

You don't like me, think everything I post is boring and shit, yet reply to almost every post saying just that. Are you enjoying it?

It's almost like you're upset or something.

In the eyes of the PoPo it is,
It is deemed as threatening behaviour
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Thu 16 Oct 2014, 16:35, Reply)
But then it's kind of like a thought crime.
'I hope you get cancer' or 'I hope you die in a plane crash' can't be threatening surely, as they are things over which the sender has no control.

'I hope you get stabbed/raped' is maybe threatening, because it implies the sender might like to do something about it.
(Baggenfrock get fucked, Thu 16 Oct 2014, 16:38, Reply)
So you sayin' I ain't capapble of bringing down a plane or inflicting cancer on someone?

It's interesting* to think about what could be used to properly give someone cancer with in a single hit, instead of just increasing the chance of cancer over a long period.

Lots of people think that South American leaders getting cancer is the work of the CIA.
