If someone abuses or threatens me in a Mudcat PM I reserve the right to publish it in full on Mudcat. Seems only fair that other Mudcatters know what sort of person they are dealing with.

I fully agree, and for the reason John gives. There are one or two nuisances here who send me stupid PMs on occasion, but I wouldn't bother the moderators unless I felt threatened. I'm sure they have enough to do.
