Why would he want to kill you? What was this hatred caused by?
I've seen that and done that...I've already mentioned the latter, so no need to rehash that...on the other hand, years ago, when I was a forum mod over at NewsOnF1, one of the other forum members had an epic meltdown, ironically in reference to the very section I was mod over.
Long story short: White NOF1 was a Formula-1 related motorsports forum, there were a lot of us there (myself included) who like discussing non-F1 related items and so, early on, a North American Motorsports section was created (w/yours truly as the forum mod there) where we could discuss those items outside of the F1 arena. Well...the member in question (Sgd was the guy's name, as I recall) didn't like the fact that an F1 forum would deign itself - his words - to allow non-F1 items around and thus, decided to go on an epic, multi-thread flame war w/myself and two of the forum's admins over it...
Suffice it to say, Sgd eventually found himself perma-banned but not before going out in one big flaming ball of Russian glory...

Oooohhhhhh, plenty of times, especially when you're on the administrative side, it gets a little worse. But I've seen it on both sides and several times. If you frequent forums a lot, it's kind of hard to miss. They will happen eventually.

He couldn't take my comments on his Graphic skills,so he got all insulted and mad.
I actually invited him to my home....but I'm still waiting
You gave him your home address?

That's some risky business there. I am glad he never showed up.
Nah reminds me of my CB radio days.... they same shit just a different name.
What do you mean nah? No offence, but that is an extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do (in my opinion).
How about a staff member that goes spazoid?

Very informative doc.
Can you elaborate?
I was just wondering if anybody else has seen that.
I know I have.

Only one example comes to mind, Doc: over on the Alternate History Discussion Board a few years ago, they had a moderator who, in his zeal to clean up the board, deleted a crap-ton of threads for - depending on who you ask over there - apparently no good reason.
