Except, of course, when you have to provide support services for them.
If you’re going to claim – as someone did last night – that a death threat has been published against you, you should probably do the following:
1. Actually include the threat, or a link, or something in the original complaint, instead of thinking we have some mystical ESP that will allow us to telepathically determine what in the world you’re talking about.
2. When you respond to our request for more specific information, don’t claim that you’ve been talking to an attorney (whether you can spell that word or not), and certainly don’t claim that reports have been filed with law enforcement (all of whom, apparently, concur that there has been a viable threat, which begs the question as to why you are continuing to contact us instead of someone else) when quite clearly, no reports have been filed and no one has been contacted.
3. When we respond to your claims, tell you we find nothing of a threatening nature, and request the pertinent details for the law enforcement people you claim to have contacted (including the FBI), writing back to us with the names of two “advocates” is not the answer. It simply proves our point.
Heh.
