These forums seem relatively tame to some of the stuff I have seen in the past on other forums especially Findlaw's many message boards.

Once had an extremely nasty usually anonymous person who baited me with hundreds of messages the Summer of 2002 on Findlaw's boards. He also continued with this for almost 4 years and I even went down in late September 2002 to the Pinellas County (FL) Sheriff's headquarters to complain about this among other stuff and the Detective just looked at me like I was an upset kid and said that it was a lot easier for people to be nasty with one another if they are not face-to-face. I had to put up with this person on Findlaw's message boards up through February of 2006.

I did not even figure out who this anonymous poster was until late November of 2004 when he bragged about what he had been doing with me using his regular handle on Findlaw's message boards.

Best advice others gave me about this vicious poster was that I should just ignore him.

I have not seen anyone I would call really nasty on TOTV or if they have been particularly cruel the other TOTVers put that person in the penalty box so to speak.
