It was questionable "threat" at best something to the effect of "I wonder how LK's employers would react if they found out that he was posting about the Holocaust" or something like that. Everybody knew it was an idle "threat" and IIRC the word "if" was used indicating that it was in fact a conditional which everybody knows that RJ wouldn't do. As I said before I don't have a problem with RJ being warned to keep personal life off the boards but at the same time I do have a problem with the fact that people are using the Holocaust, Auschwitz, and stating time and time again that they are just trolling RJ because they love to see him react negatively. I realize that this is the internet, but I thought that we could at least be civil. I guess not. I did learn that I can be a total asshole and do basically whatever I want as long as I don't bring somebody's personal life into things, complain too much about rep, or become Jewish and have people continuously bash me over the head about the Holocaust.
RJ should have been warned and was, and of course the people who continue to antagonize RJ also deserve a warning for their behavior but aren't going to get one. Everybody involved in this whole thing should be warned about being a complete idiot. Leaving rep is okay IMO, neg or pos, but people were and may still be, leaving messages on RJ's rep that say things to the effect of "go ahead and die you pitiful old man". When anonymous rep was sent to ITK and she complained about it, I believe there was a lot of discussion about it wasn't there? I think telling somebody to die in rep probably crosses the line of civility, even if we're allowing people to bring up the murder of 6 million Jews simply to antagonize a 65 year old man on the internet.
