He has no reason to lie and quite frankly I doubt very much if he did. Why are you getting so wound up by him? What about all the other abusive posts where threats of torture have been made. I thought the idea of being able to moderate a thread was to keep it civilised and non abusive. You appear to be are siding with posters who post abusive and threatening posts. Moderate a few of those please.
We are all in the same boat here so let's get on with sharing info. not making threats and wait for some results before we point fingers. Some of the stuff on here would be laughed out of court. Most of the suggestions wouldn't even get near to court.
