What nasty pm? Didn't you say pm'(s) just to make it appear worse? Why, sure you did.

Here it was ( the one and only):

"I know you're aware I can't respond to your stalking drivel on that thread.

Keep it up though, you're revealing far more about yourself than you realize. And it's just more of the same bullying, dirty tactics and 'pooooor me!' bullshit you excel at. LMAO. No worries, my memory is long."

As for the long memory - what, you don't like to see your own words? Harassment! Look at that ugly thread and tell me who the harasser was- not just to me, either.

If I were you, I'd be doing the stepping back. And apologizing!
