I think most of the relevant details have been covered here. Joel Send a noteboard - 15/05/2011 04:06:09 PM
Not that they needed anything more than the (carefully specified) GMT to read the whole conversation. They told me to contact the police anyway; perhaps you should consider the implications of that. If you're concerned about false representations you should know two things:

1) I concealed no part of that conversation, nor do I think I could.

2) I never tried to "blackmail" anyone. I made no request or demand; I left and reported the conversation to Skype, who said to contact the police.

I didn't see your sole retraction of three explicitly sincere death threats, and decided not to the call the cops when you pointed it out. Don't take that to mean earnest repeated death threats are OK provided you say, "I'm kidding, " later. My goal was third party testimony should I be forced to resist an attempt on my life, but you can bet Skype saw the whole exchange. They said to contact the police, so take it up with them if you've changed your mind about pursuing the matter, but you're the only one misrepresenting anyones actions (the only reason I responded).

I may have to reconsider my stance on skype chat if it involves this kind of drama. What on earth happened?

That's not to say there aren't more irrelevant details, or that everyone involved agrees. I thought you were already opposed to Skype chat, or did you mean that you're pro-drama? I'm sure you can get into the Mutual Degradation Society if you want; I can't add you, of course: I'm banned. ;) I'll send you the full log so you can see for yourself, free of any potential bias by me or anyone; there's lot of extraneous stuff to go with the context, but no one will be able to accuse me of concealing anything. As noted, I didn't initially see Adams retraction (if you check the time stamps it should be obvious why) but once it was pointed out I let the matter drop and foolishly thought that would be the end of it (the unlikelihood of that being the end of it is why a lot of people probably still would've notified the police). At the time it seemed that he'd gone out of his way no less than three times to make clear he was serious as the grave, so, although I figured it was PROBABLY BS, I wanted that on record if he showed up uninvited and something unfortunate happened.

You really have to wonder if our culture is decadent? *NM* - 04/05/2011 06:24:25 AM 527 Views
Not at all, but it does make me wonder if we're TOO decadent. - 06/05/2011 01:38:42 AM 965 Views

Yes and no, but I'd think an international network trying to kill you would motivate self education. - 06/05/2011 01:57:06 AM 1076 Views

If they don't know about the terrorist organisation to begin with, why would they self educate? - 13/05/2011 08:06:07 AM 962 Views
If completely ignorant of terrorism itself, they wouldn't, but if not I'd expect they'd get informed - 14/05/2011 03:01:37 AM 931 Views
What?!? There are terrorists roaming the US, killing kids in their beds?!? - 14/05/2011 07:45:27 AM 1078 Views

The short answer is "yes". - 06/05/2011 03:19:31 AM 970 Views
you would of have had to know who he is to know he was doing that though *NM* - 08/05/2011 06:16:39 PM 480 Views
Yes, and the fact he WAS doing that is why I expected nearly everyone to know who he was. - 08/05/2011 07:12:41 PM 980 Views
I am not saying they shouldn't know who he is just that is isn't that shocking that some don't - 09/05/2011 02:35:02 PM 838 Views
I get that, it's the size of the "some" that kinda floors me. - 09/05/2011 05:02:46 PM 973 Views

Concise is nice, but that response was solely about me rather than my arguments. - 18/05/2011 11:30:38 PM 942 Views
