Can someone clue me in as to what this is all about?
Druff, here's the chronological order of events. It started a few days ago:
In the Professional Sportsbetting thread, post #1019, redietz said "My girlfriend, who was in charge of a high stakes sports betting LV cartel, says "Hedging is for wienies!"
In post 1024 I responded "Which rub and tug was she working in?"
In post 1025 redietz responded "That was over the line and inappropriate, mickey crimm. I must formally withdraw that posted offer to fly you to the book club meeting here, and I must formally demand that you apologize.
If you don't apologize, I will stop participating here immediately. You need to learn some respect for people who have accomplished more than you gambling and who have earned their expertise. And I'm not talking about me."
In post #1027 I responded "Which would you say is more over the line? Insulting someone that you don't even know exists? Or threatening to kill another member of the forum?
Don't let the door hit you where the dog should have bit you."
If you don't know, redietz threatened to shoot me several months ago.
So this morning I found a PM by him in my inbox. Redietz is a journalism major. He knows how to construct sentences in a way that no overt threat is made but it's heavily implied. It's a veiled threat. Anyone who would take it differently is not to bright.
