Oh dear.
A very honorable and forgiving response. I feel you are a better man than me.He said some pretty unsavoury stuff about hoping me and my family get cancer. My father died last February from cancer, so it’s still very raw and so I reacted to it.
I probably should have taken a breath but it was quite unsavoury what he said so I lost my cool a bit and said I’d happily knock his block off. He then proceeded to say I wouldn’t get close and he’d stab me in the neck with a knife.
Thread was removed and he was banned.
What was said was truly vile and there are no excuses or mitigation for it, but he’s not a poster I would have ordinarily expected capable of such a vile outburst.
Perhaps he’s really struggling and there are issues deeply affecting him. It’s a difficult time for everyone in at least some aspects of their lives and so if that is the reason he said the things he did, then I hope he gets help and support for the root causes of his issues.
He has frequently posted about the difficulties in the airline industry in which he works and so probably has some very deep anxieties around that. It doesn’t excuse his behaviour of course, and hopefully he’s had the time to reflect and realise that he was out of order - it does seem to be the exception rather than the rule for him and so I’d like to think he gets the benefit of the doubt.
WTF!! Well I don’t think you need to be assessing you own behaviour / thinking what you should or shouldn’t have done etc sounds to me like you reacted how anyone would have.He said some pretty unsavoury stuff about hoping me and my family get cancer.

If only everyone in life was so tolerant and understanding, the world would be a much better place, never mind this board.He said some pretty unsavoury stuff about hoping me and my family get cancer. My father died last February from cancer, so it’s still very raw and so I reacted to it.

Yeah it was pretty sickening. Completely out of nowhere too.He wished something on another poster that was absolutely unforgivable. I reported it when I saw it.
