    You can find cache of the PCN-UK website by googling words connected with the topics we were talking about his website at the time. It is well worth doing as if you think his website is bad now you should have seen how really poor it was then. It seemed he went through a stage of correcting it every day.

    You can also find the deleted posts on the PC-UK mse threads by doing the same thing (Try googling someones post on a previous page and you can find the deleted posts).

    P.S I just remembered that the crappy town in Kent that shares a name with an unpopular and ill educated northerner is nicknamed Trashford which is somewhat appropriate

    You will be pleased to know that a certain pcnuk is our newest member of the MSE forum and has an active interest on this thread (not surprisingly)! They have kindly sent me another threatening PM via the MSE forum- which I am not sure if I am at liberty to discuss! (Kindly advise, if I would be breaking any forum rules/ the law by discussing PMs sent to me)

    Well, are you going to tell us what that PM says?

    Further to our last message you have mentioned or passed information to people on these forums regarding Gala Bingo this would bring them into dispute which i am sure The Gala bingo legal team will be interested in knowing about. I will pass this onto them tomorrow. They may also decide to open a case against yourself for your actions.

    Just like the Centrica privacy policy which has somehow appeared on the PCN-UK website.

    "Further to our last message you have mentioned or passed information to people on these forums regarding Gala Bingo"

    What, such as the fact that Gala Bingo have premises in Chorley? Now, that's highly sensitive information.

    This is amazing. Harassment taken to a whole new level. Make sure you keep copies of these, you could probably sue them for this.
  • Also, MSE should take note of their IP so that it can be traced and they can't deny sending the PMs.

    The Court trumps Copyright.

    The grammar in that PM is such an appalling mess that it is nonsense.

    As is the 'thinking' displayed..
  • Start making a PCN-UK harassment file, print out and keep everything they send you.
