Death threats are now acceptable on The Shroomery.

Link: 'I had a spiritual encounter with my dog today
On the MRP Forum, rodfarva writes: "I killed somebody that talked like you."
Did this have ANY RELEVANCE to the thread topic? No. There was only one possible meaning.
A public murder confession whether real or a 'joke' and redirected towards another member rates a:
Gentle rebuke?
A warning?
A ban?
A permaban?
Apparently stating a fact and using logic on MRP rates an INSTANT warning and a possible ban, but this barely rates a reproach only after repeated badgering of the administration. It should have been dealt with immediately, but took 3 days to get any action whatsoever.
Mod bias? You be the judge!
So is it or is it not acceptable to threaten harm to another member?

I am sure most of you missed it, but Middleman, one of 3 mods on MRP just posted right here:
"Get a life, OC!"
Then quickly deleted his post. I do not make this stuff up. Apparently he realized that to any impartial observer that the mod bias would be even more obvious than it already is.
This from a person who considers himself fair and spiritual.
Good job!
Note: the reproach has been upgraded to a warning..

Ok, that's it.
I have REPEATEDLY asked you not to make sarcastic posts in M,R+P and you have REPEATEDLY ignored me.
M,R+P is a BIASED forum, there is a fuzzy line between "debate" and "discussion" and the definition thereof is a task that has been bestowed unto me, and I am doing my BEST.
ANYONE who reviews your posts in M,R+P will agree that you have NEVER added ANYTHING useful or constructive but are only TROLLING.
It was one of these condescending and flippant quips of yours that brought on the so-called "death threat" in the first place!
Sorry I was gone for a few days, but some of us have LIVES TO LIVE, instead of sitting online all day, getting off on putting others down!
I suggest you STAY OUT of the Mysticism Forum, and our problems will be SOLVED.

Sorry bro, but whether or not my comments were more out of line than, say Icelander's or another's comment, has no relevance to rodfarva's threat and the lack of appropriate action.
Satire should equal death, is that what you are saying in your calm, unemotional way?
How I do or do not spend my time is not your concern; otherwise posters with over, say 5000 posts, should be automatically banned.
And, of course, you failed to address this particular topic here in the Feedback forum. Is it or is it not OK to threaten harm to another member: YES or NO?

I do. I do not take it lightly. And your comment does not address the ACTUAL topic.
That aside, MM's complaint is that I added nothing useful. Seems he believes that RF's comment had real substance and content.

Once again, this might be more what you're looking for. Bottom line, i'm not a mod, but I don't see how that constitutes a death threat.

What is the message that you get from that line and how does it tie in with the topic?

eh, i get the message that he killed a guy that talks like you, and it fits in because you had to talk in order for him to realise that.
you have 1922 of 2034 post in P & E. Perhaps if you came out of your bubble for two seconds, you'd realise that this shit doesn't matter.

Where I normally post is irrelevant. What is your purpose for responding to this thread?

Sorry for getting so worked up, but what fun is life without EMOTION?   
For the umpteenth time; SARCASM er, SATIRE is not allowed in the Mysticism Forum, it is too easily taken PERSONALLY by our sensitives.
I was going to send a warning, but Geo beat me to it, we are all very busy and you have to give us a little time to handle a situation.
Anyway, it wasn't even a direct threat. Who is the overly sensitive one here?
If I were to say, "Thanks to you, if I ever meet Sean Connery, I'm going to punch him in the mouth." I would not be threatening you.
I have warned others about sarcasm and criticism the same as you, I have LET GO of all attachment to our past interactions.
BTW, thanks for bringing up Icelander's remark, it is a perfect example of impersonal, non-sarcastic DISCUSSION.
Icelander simply stated "Anthropomorphism." Which is completely acceptable.
You said "Nuh uh. You should see the cute way my pet ant wiggles its antennae at me when it is 'telling' me something profound."
Do you SEE the DIFFERENCE here?
I think I have been very polite and patient with you, but you have been testing me in M,R+P and bad-mouthing me in here for weeks.
Do you have some kind of personal vendetta against me? Who is the biased one here?
There are PLENTY of opportunities for your flippant quips in P+S, so why do you insist on posting in M,R+P?
You obviously don't agree with ANYTHING being said there, so WHY BOTHER unless you get some kind of kick out of it?
I don't hate you, I don't even dislike you, I certainly don't understand you, but that's OK.
The Connery remark was a JOKE.

Maybe he's trying to help you people. But I guess you guys don't WANT help if you insist on having a forum where you can talk about your crazy beliefs without anyone questioning them. So maybe we should just rename MR&P "The Crazy Person Forum"?

Nice.
I don't have any beliefs, but I have many suspicions.
I think you skeptics are just jealous because we've seen things that you haven't. Either that or you're scared shitless that we might be telling the Truth...
Oh, and why is it so hard for you to understand the difference between "questioning" and "harshly criticizing"?

I think you are biased against OC and that's why you didn't take any action against the threat maker.

I didn't take action because I was on vacation as I announced in This Thread.
I wouldn't even be here now, if I hadn't come back early.
If OC had looked at my online status before sending me a PM telling me to "Let go of the past and do my job" He would have seen that I hadn't even been here for a week...
I invite an Admin to review my login history to validate this.
As soon as I read it, I immediately posted a warning in the thread and was about to send a Ban warning when my phone rang. When I came back, Geo had already sent the Ban warning.
I invite anyone who cares to review the interactions between OC and myself in M,R+P and they will plainly see I have been more than patient and have shown NO BIAS against him.
Although... M,R+P ITSELF is BIASED against OC.
:sigh: where's pappy with the humor?

This thread has been closed.
Reason: This case is closed. rodfarva, the user who made the original comment for which this complaint was filed, gave an immediate public and straightforward followup in the thread that stated, "i didnt mean i was acctually trying to kill you. Or that i thought about it." Furthermore, rodfarva's account was tagged with a warning to take greater care with his wording in the future. As always, infractions will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Furthermore, as an admin having directly responded to this matter and having notified both of the involved parties of actions taken; the creation of this thread and its redundant argument after the fact is rather useless since the feedback had already been received, reviewed, and no change in policy will manifest with regard to this specific incident henceforth.
