The message was lengthy for a PM, no doubt. But abusive? Not so much.
Why don't you begin by asking people (and this necessitates listening to them) if they think the message is abusive, you know, in lieu of actually understanding the entire message? Or is this nebulous "abusiveness" only in the eye of the beholder, who may have an entirely different reason for calling it "abusive", such as a manipulative agenda?
That's abusive Suzi.
Originally posted by Captain StrangeAbusive? in what sense? She could be threatening to twist his nose, that's quite hurtful, or ping his ear with an elastic band. Chess players speak in terms of, 'I'm going to crush you', all the time. Its not abuse, its just trash talk, harmless fun. Only a super Wendy like FMF with his hypersensitive sensibilities would find trash talk abusive. He deserves to be mocked for his wussiness.

My theory is that he is so far removed from normal human relationships that these type of things, trash talk, harmless banter on an internet forum are almost like an alien concept for him. This coupled with a kind of inverse inferiority complex where he needs to feel superior to other people by vilifying them to compensate for his own insecurities leads him to attribute all kinds of absurdities to other people.

Two aliens were orbiting the earth.
The first said Earth may be an emerging planet, they have some
fairly advanced weapons.
The second alien said I don't think so.
Why not said the first alien.
Because all their weapons are pointed at each other replied the second alien.
Fortunately the lack of proximity here in this forum only allows us to heap verbal abuse upon one another. If it's not outright name calling and insult slinging it's tongue-in-cheek-read-between-the-lines-the-same-to-you-but-more-of-it nonsense.

There has been much worse over the years. Heaven help you if you were dealing with Skeeter - Suzianne is a lovely pussycat in comparison to what Skeeter would have done if you had got on her wrong side

LOL....You got that one right. That was one of the women I was referring to someone who could hit harder than them. I had a few fun exchanges with her, and I don't believe I came out on top in very many if any of them... 😉

It would be a whole different story in a face to face confrontation with most people. Hell some of us may even like each other if we actually met. 😉 There are some however I am sad to say I would probably still dislike. 🙁 !!!

This is the only point worth discussing here; everything else is smoke and mirrors, posturing and name-calling, threats and nastiness, unprincipled partisanship.
PS The message was published by Handy Andy several pages back.
You just being silly now, FMF also said he in no way felt threatened. They were words said in anger. God only knows he can probably wear thin on some peoples nerves. I unlike some am very tough skinned from years of debate on this site!!!

You must of missed where FMF said: he didn't in the least bit feel threatened. He said: Thought it was ludicrous and laughable. That is how afraid he was for his safety. He is a drama queen!!!

Yeah its a secret code don't you know? Who makes this stuff up? Teresa Mae wears 1k trousers, thats the news??? My goodness the Israelis are throwing people out of their homes and occupying their land and have created a huge concentration camp and we never hear a single word. Its utterly and completely rotten and corrupt and a festering putrid mess. I'm done with politics, its vile. Sorry rant over.

Yes I am too brittle, cause I care too much. Anyway how yah been?
I have taken my first chess pupil on. A man in his seventies from San Fransisco. He wants to reach 1400-1600, a class c player and I promised to help him, free of charge. Presently he is rated 1100. I think we can do it.
