Recieved a threat via pm

Thanks for your kind message.

I am now going to say a prayer that you live near me and that it's your cats coming into my garden.

Thanks again.

Was this the reply that sparked the angry PM?

Because that's bound to ruffle a few feathers.

You hope his kids get their throats cut. You honestly think that's an acceptable thing to say to anybody, you honestly think you're the victim here? He didn't threaten you. You sir need to get a clue...

You hoped something happened to him and he prayed something happened to you. Not particularly a "direct" threat... or "real"

your "comment" seems worse to me

They are animals. Children are people. If you fail to see the difference between wishing harm onto an animal and wishing harm onto a child, then you really need to step away from the computer and get out more.

You have come up on my radar more than once this last few days.
After your OTT comment in PI, I see no reason whatsoever to even consider this to be a genuine complaint.
You're on a fine line right now with regards to just how long more you'll have access to this site if you continue as you are.

But he was not wishing harm or hoping for it. He said that he was going to kill the cats that were around his garden. THen he said he hoped that they were my cats. I don't know where he lives so there is every chance this murderer will kill them.

But it's ok for you to say you hope *someone* slits his kids' throats.

You don't sound like a very nice person at all.

So what his happening with this? I would like the user banned but more importantly I need to be given his details. His IP, any email address or phone numbers so I can go to the Gardai with this.

"Dear Gardai,
a user on the internet hoped he lived near me and that my cats would go into his garden. I'd like a conviction please".

GarraiGamhain I would suggest you take a moment off to go calm down even kidding about wishing ill of someones children isn't really on. Take a moment to catch your breath for a second.

The original troll wasn't amusing (cat lover? bleh) but the "I need his IP address to inform the gardai" bit was good. I've checked and it's from 64.86.142.9.

Are you ok ? I mean it really...

If you need some help I am sure someone here can give you advise , but I you go to the guards that will be far more interested in your post about dead children than anyone's interest in your cats...

put if theats to cats was a crime my dog would be serving a life sentence.....
