    Nope. I try to avoid being rude. Achieves absolutely nothing.

    I’ve received a number of them over the years. Like water off a duck’s back to be honest. I can only assume they are jealous of my successful life, drive, ambition, huge popularity, and easy going nature. They’d be better off spending that time reflecting on why they were so angry they had to send an abusive message.

    I’ve also received a large number of messages from female admirers. That’s for another thread though.

    I've got several but haven't sent any.
    Sending abusive PM's isn't very mod like.

    No, condescending might be more the style.

    Did you get inspiration for your username from that haunted mansion Summerwind featured in the series A Haunting, by any chance?
    I know its random but I saw an episode of that recently and that was the name of the big house...

    Never sent one but got one yesterday off a disgruntled Catholic. How do I know they were a Catholic because they said so.

    Received a few death threats on an old reddit account for concocting a fake post. I wonder can I find it again

    I've received a few, throughout the course of the abortion referendum threads, and didn't reply, just blocked them. There's some mad feckers on here. I've received a few weird ones but again, just blocked them.

    No. I've never received one either, at least not here. I used to get plenty on YouTube telling me to die in a fire or that they hoped I got cancer.

    My old name was Conspectus. With that in mind can you imagine the nice pm I got from this guy. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=875023

    Or this nice gentleman. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?userid=861569

    I have sent one mildly mean pm to a constant rereg who trolled the "Lets all laugh at people with depression" thread. Red mist descended a bit.

    Not that I can think of. Had a few abusive ones as a mod, had a few whacky ones from a handful of fruitcakes too. Best ignored :)

    I lump people who send abusive PMs in there with people who call radio stations or write comments under news articles on facebook. Absolute mentallers :D

    Yeah Autosport I'm still waiting for a reply. It's extremely rude to ignore someone.
    Just saying.

    I used to have an account under the name Bl..... and people assumed I was a sexy woman so I got a lot of PMs. In fact I’m not a woman ... or sexy.
