Not sure what can actually be done about it. All I know is that when I read it I felt very taken aback and nervous at the violence behind the words.

I was reading a pretty interesting thread by Regardes "Being assertive with your Faith" in the DD forum---

And then suddenly on page 2 I got hit by this ---- spoken to Mod Regardes by Mod Ami Anne, about Mod Juniperb

Yes, I know Juni. You sit behind the scenes and attack people and then try to act perfect.
Please, close it RP.

Aside from the fact that once again ... for the 4th time in 4 weeks--the other 3 times are mentioned by me in my post on page 3 of this thread, addressing this very issue on Aug 15--"Is astrology a sin"--
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum21/HTML/000462.html

So aside from the fact that once again ... an unfair and baseless accusation is being hurled at Juni (anyone can see that from that thread), what is different and also disturbing this time is that this accusation followed on the heels of some very violent words.

This is clearly an ongoing internal rage issue within Ami Anne from where I stand.

I really like that LL is a free thinking place where one is free to express one's ideas and opinions on such a variety of subjects. Added to which the personal interaction here really makes it kinda like a treasure chest imo.

But the expression of this much rage is not only disconcerting but also ... in my view ... an attempt to intimidate and bully the other person (Juni) who continues to be tactful and definitely DOES NOT deserve to be treated in this way by ANYONE. None of us do for that matter.

On a different thread about a month ago Mod iQ had said to another member that bullying will not be tolerated on the board. I agree with this completely, as I'm against all forms of bullying in all walks of life. I'm quite sure Randall also would never support bullying in any way.

But what can be done when it is one Mod showing a repeat pattern of bullying another Mod?
