    I do not know what is wrong with this person but the are still sending me abusive private messages despite me asking them numerous times not to.

    I have just tried to reply and the message would not send so hopefully they have been banned or are playing further childish games by sending PMs and the blocking any reply after making death threats after I politely corrected an incorrect post of theirs.

    Most members do try to help.

    I would like to report the posts from yesterday but they have been removed along with others, could a board guide please forward these to abuse as I would imagine death threats would lead to a ban. Thank you.
  • Goodness me, death threats! Whatever next? I assume that this was in a personal message as I can't find anything in the thread. Did they actually say they would kill you?

    I am not sure I want to continue on here for fear of posting and then getting that kind of response ......

    It has been removed by the abuse team after a kind poster reported it this morning but it was on this thread. A number of people saw it and made comments that it was out of order.

    Do not let it worry you most people are fine, it is just the occasional person who acts in such a pathetic manner.
  • At least there are people to monitor the Forum and remove the unwanted contributions!

    So where do most people get their knowledge from? Is it from experience in the same things happening to them or are they like you an expert as you who works as an advisor?

    I am really sad to see the comments on this thread as it is against the forum's ethos. Can I remind posters to be nice even if you do not agree with them and there is nothing wrong with another poster bringing to attention, in a polite manner, if someone has given wrong information.
    healy, you need to forward any of your abusive pms to [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL]

    I have closed this thread and it has been referred to the forum team.
