Dear friends,
I’m very busy teacher that sometimes I visit my favorite
site, and sometimes post my answers according to my knowledge.,,,Just like
you.. but someone who I can’t mention his name,( it’s better not to do it)
threatened me to change or remove my post, otherwise he decided to embarrass me
publicly!!!!!!
I don’t know why…….I think, this is a forum that teachers
from all around world tell their ideas based on their studies, knowledge and
experiences, sometimes correct each
other, sometime ask for help..etc.,
I’m really sad to have this private message.,, I cannot
understand it…. 
I think,.. one of important features of a teacher is to be
affable… not only with his/her students, but . …..when he/she talks or expresses
his/her ideas even on the net……

In the forum rules it ´s clearly stated, "Don ´t use the forum for personal attacks. Those kind of posts will be removed by the administrator" so, unless you have been contacted by the webmaster or one of the admins who have pointed out that you ´ve broken one of the rules, you shouldn ´t worry and if the threats persit, you can block this user by clicking "ignore users" in your private messenger.

I ´m with ueslteacher on this. If you ´ve done nothing wrong, why should you change or remove your post? Some people may disagree with you but to threaten someone is unacceptable. You should copy the message that was written to you and send it to the administrator if you feel it ´s uncalled for. |

If you feel threatened by this member - you should report him to Victor.
There is enough mobbing and bullying going on in schools and in the world in general.
It is our jobs to fight this behavior - especially here.

As others say. Report this member and block him using the "Ignore Users" facility in your "private messenger". Libertybelle is right to say we need to fight this kind of behavior, but no need to do it alone. |

No need to report me.
I simply sent a message telling her she had made a mistake on the forum and I was sending a PM so as not to embarrass her by correcting the mistake publicly--she apparently misconstrued it completely.
Their are always two sides to a story--kind of disappointed with the quick/harsh judgements I have seen here.
Try to do a good deed and this is what you get on a Monday morning.
Does this really sound like a threat:
"I started to post this on the forum and decided to send you a PM instead to give you a chance to possibly remove or change your post if you like (i didn ´t want to embarass you publicly)."
( this is what I´m getting insulted for).
Sorry I guess this doesn´t really belong on the forum, but I am really disappointed in the judgemental feel of this entire thread and don´t want the forum to move in this way--we´ve spent a lot of time and effort making the ESLP forum what it is, I would hate to see it go down this road.

I agree with Douglas.
The forum is not the place to publicly denounce somebody.
Especially not Douglas who is a most helpful and appreciated member.
I am sure that what he wrote was in the spirit of eslprintables and was perfectly misunderstood.

You claim that you are a native speaker but you don’t know
which words to use, if you really mean to help me to know the correct grammar,
why you didn’t write the correct grammatical sentence in the PM for me,. You played
hard to get it. In return, you give me a chance (oh, my God, someone give me a
chance) to remove or change my ideas, because you didn’t want to embarrass me
publicly (why you used these words). I’m sure you know about non-native
speakers, because you live here.
It’s better to end this useless discussion and back to our
work, Sorry if I misunderstood you and didn’t get your help.
To that Person’s Friends,
I never intended to denounce anyone here, and never
mentioned any name or any report. This
is that person to do it.
Thanks to those who reported my work that I posted 2or more
years ago as breaking rule suddenly at this time. Funny things always happened.

Douglas we are not judging you, we are just taking pinkblossom at her word and reacting accordingly. Every regular member, including Victor, knows what a great guy you are. |
