If you have a problem with this person then try and discuss it rationally off the board to resolve it. Just my $.02

No one has the "right" to harass ANYONE on this forum. About anything. EVER. If you are unsure if your comments constitute "harassment" then put them on the board in public, we'll let you know if they are ok or if they are not.
There is no "right to free speech" on this board. There never has been, there never will be. The right to free speech is a right given to all Americans by the Constitution and applies to public domain. This is not public domain, this is my domain. If I decide that every post on the board must start and end with "I love to skip through tulips holding hands with Marinepits, Demo and Heather" then that is my perogative and if you don't do it, it is my right to delete each and every post that you make.
Together the staff has decided what will and will not be allowed on posts on the board, and that includes what is in PM's. We don't read PM's so we have to rely on our members to inform us if people are breaking rules behind the scenes. The only way we can stop this is to know it's going on.
Personally I don't, and never have, "taken things to PM" unless I was forced to. If I have something to say I put it out on the board, especially if it is "not very nice." That way it can't be twisted to make it out worse or something else than was intended, and it won't appear as if I'm hiding.
We were finally made aware of the actual situation behind this thread, and as a staff we are "giving notice" to all members. Under no circumstances will we tolerate harassment - in public or in private. The first step will be to remove the priviledge of PM's, the second will be to temporarily remove the priviledge of posting here, the third will be to perminantly remove the priviledge of posting here. We reserve the right to skip steps if we so choose. It is a priviledge to be a member of this community, you don't all have to get along, you don't all have to agree on issues, but you will treat others with respect. Period. Adults can have heated arguements and be civil at the same time. If you can't act like an adult you are not welcome here.
If you don't like the rules, go pay for your own domain name and make your own board - that's exactly what Charles and I did; we made this board because we didn't like how other boards were run. And please, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

I am not stupid, my staff is not stupid, we didn't even have to "read between the lines" on this one, it was abundantly clear.
Do not test me, do not test my staff, do not mess with my members. You will not win.
