There is a third, longer but similar, message that I read but I can't find it in the history. Even though it says I have three messages in my history, only two show up.

Those are out-of-line IMO.

But if they were sent to you via PM, I think proper protocal would be not to reprint them here for all to see.

Just say you've received inappropriate PM's then show the Mod when they get around to helping you.

Go ahead and send a PM to a Senior Mod too. NM, I did it for you.

I don't honestly care about respecting the "Don't make PMs public" policy in the event of abuse. I like knowing who the assholes are. /shrug

(I did it once in a thread where the OP sent me some pretty messed up crap via PM. I posted something like, "So did everyone here disagreeing with the OP get the nasty PMs?" and everybody started posting their PMs in the thread. Eventually, a moderator came along and banned the OP. It was actually kind of funny. )
