John made a very important point that really needs to be addressed. This board offers a variety of resources, among them the email addresses of the majority of posters. If anyone sends threatening emails to fellow board members, and gets those addresses directly from this site, that is a violation of board protocol.

I get regular emails from board members, many whom I don't even know. But they are all pleasant and typically involve a hobby question. But how does a stranger get my contact information? Directly from the section that we all provided for general reference.

But that is not a free pass for anyone to just grab an email address and use it to send out threatening emails. And as a result, a ban is within reasonable boundaries.
