Anyone else get a nasty email from "gcord374"?
It looks like a bogus email under closer examination, but at first blush it appeared to have come from someone at Pelican. The biggest giveaway was the tone was very much not in keeping with this forum -- even the Religion and Politics forum!

Quote:
This is a message from gcord374 at Pelican Parts Technical BBS ( Pelican Parts Technical BBS - Powered by vBulletin ). The Pelican Parts Technical BBS owners cannot accept any responsibility for the contents of the email.

To email gcord374, you can use this online form:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/sendmessage.php?do=mailmember&u=106300

OR, by email:
mailto:gcord374@aol.com

This is the message:

Can you please remove yourself from the gene pool? Preferably in the most painful and agonizing way possible? Retard



Die painfully okay? Prefearbly by getting crushed to death in a
garbage compactor, or by getting your cranium smashed in.


STFU s_ithead, before you get your head kicked in.

It is the same e-mail or personal message. Different user name, but exact same message. Several of us received them. Some people thought it was Normy, but no proof. There was another one which had some english expressions.

Probably just a kid in a bsement

Hi Chris, I tried to look the guy up but I've forgotten how to do a search of the folks on Pelican's forums. I did check the posts and it doesn't look like he's ever posted, so red-flag there that he's not legitimate.

that troll sent me, as well as a few others those a while back, different name, plus that loser sent them to me (and others I'm sure) on other forums, including YouTube.
