I have created an item in this very conference that houses copies of about
a dozen threats made against my person, my property, or my family.

How long will Grex's members allow it to be the "Wild West" of the Internet?

When are they going to step up and make it clear that death threats are NOT
welcome here?

I propose that the membership, board, and staff adopt policies to act against
death threats made using Grex.

This is already turning into an absurd argument, but, if the definition of
free speech you're talking about predominates over all other maxims we want
to have, and it includes the right to make grievous threats against a person's
self, family, and property, free speech simply isn't something we want to
have.

When will Grex do more to protect its law-abiding users?

I am not going to call the RCMP because they a) don't have authority in my
jurisdiction and b) they don't have authority in the jurisdictions in which
the crimes were committed.

I don't think I'm being a bitch by thinking Grex ought to offer its users a
system which is as free of death threats as possible, but it doesn't matter
if you think I am.

In fact, it's utterly irrelevant.

However, I thank you for your post.  I am now considering contacting the local
police forces of people who have made threats against me.

I'll freeze this item if Grex kills the accounts of all people who have
used Grex to threaten another user's life, family, or property.
