Just a brief reminder to everyone here...

If someone is sending you abusive messages, you do not have to tolerate that action.

You have the option of alerting the host and moderator to their actions; you have the option of placing the sender on ignore (They will not be able to send you private messages and you will not see their posts in the discussion); you have the option of leaving the site, and if their behavior violates federal or state law, you have the option of formally pressing charges. Online harassment has no place in a community that is supposed to be a place of healing.

The following links may provide additional information for those who are so inclined.
