Strange rep message... (Metlakatla: live, safe, eat)

[Grannysroost]

I got a rep point message yesterday stating for GG, HL and others with a link for another board...Mod Cut I am a little leary of even clicking on this?

[Metlakatla]

I think it's safe to click the linky, Granny, but don't take a swig of iced tea or anything else before you do.

Gracious, I got a similar rep message. There seems to be not much going on there but bashing of certain members here.

Anyway, I'd like to thank whoever it was who sent me the message and respectfully decline their kind invitation; my internet time is a bit limited these days, what with the SO thinking I should spent time with him rather than play online.

Sometimes that does seem a bit unreasonable.

I guess we aren't the only ones then, because I got a couple of DMs saying the same. These people come here to cut Alaska down so much with Palin, Stevens and the like in the spotlight, the PETA people, etc., ...I have to get caught up on work, have a good afternoon

[jeffari-al-texani]

PETA???

People for Eating Tasty Animals???

I'll get me coat...

[Metlakatla]

On further perusal...this is definitely not the type of environment that I care to spend time in. Good Heavens, they are literally begging "trolls" to post.

I am a little confused here.

Oh, and Barkely...I belive you already know the story behind my nickname. Not everything is about hair, you know

This goes for most people but if you run Firefox with the NoScript and AdBlock Plus add ons, you don't have to worry about clicking shady links because it won't let malicious code run on your machine just by visiting an infected website.

Thanks for the tip...I get concerned because I use mine for work and they have regulations for privacy.

That is good to know; thank you.

It ain't the code that's malicious there, though.

Just a tip guys...it's bad form to make "rules" that you can't or won't follow yourselves.

This is rather interesting. Apparently they've deleted at least one of their nastier posts. I can sent it to you if you like; it's on my hard drive.

Well I didn't read all of it but nothing I read stood out as nasty...
