I need advice on DU etiquette

[Syncronaut Seven]

How to deal with vile unsolicited threatening obscene PM's from a particular DU member.

The violence and intensity was startling, and I suspect, due to the ease the threatening, bully like words rolled from this members keyboard I'm not the first.

I was also impressed by the coward like, preemptive message block, so I couldn't respond personally after the attack. That's not dialog, that's hit and run assault.

Anyone else have any bullying experiences? PM me, It poisons the well at DU and it's time for it to stop.

I was curious why several prominent contributing members left this year, now I think I know why.

I don't quit, I focus on the offenders and take appropriate action. I need help defining the most appropriate action.

I also need personal stories of abuse at the hands of established members. Thanks.

3. Locking.

If you are receiving PMs that you believe to be inappropriate, please hit alert and let the administrators of this site deal with the issue.

Thank you.
