      Someone posted a message which kicks off an email notification then deletes there message, which is why you don't see it. If the message is really abusive and not just hurting your feelings, then I would mention it in the Bugs & Suggestions forum . Edit: your screen name looks a bit spammish. Are you a spam account

        I have searched the forum you suggested, and found his username already deleted, that's why :laugh:

          If you mean the swear words regarding your choice of username (which isn't brilliant, I must admit) it was noticed over ten hours ago Our Resident Troll is back - CodeProject[^] and his account closed as a result. Unfortunately, we get trolls occasionally and there is little you can do to prevent this kind of thing other than moderation of all messages - which would take resources us volunteers don't have, and slow posting to a crawl. We do try to respond quickly to such messages though - it took a while today because it's a Sunday (Mother's Day in the USA and Oz as well) and the site is very quiet.

            There is a very big difference between abuse and hurting ones feeling, if you happen to be sensitive. Since I didn't read the posts/comments in question, I can't tell. There are people here that are so hyper-sensitive that they will mark you post as abuse, if you hurt there feelings.

              It consisted (IIRC) of 5 words, two of which were offensive, and was expecting a strong (and otherwise unprovoked) dislike of his user name. You don't have to be sensitive to find that abusive if you don't know the other person at all.

                  Of course not. If foul language directed at another person was used, then of course that is abusive. Like I said, I did not read the original "offending" post(s).

                      The abusive responses to my questions are typically found in my inbox from over night as the perpetrators are typically in a slightly different time zone that me. So I'm all like "Come over here and say that" :mad: I'm pretty sure they won't. :-D

                        One reply to his posting (which didn't look spam-connected) was very abusive about his username. I agree that the username worries me, too, but I wouldn't have used such bad language unless I were kidding.

                          If you don't like receiving abuse by e-mail, uncheck "E-mail me if someone replies to this message". That will at least stop the abuse from CP(but you'll still get it from the other sources that regularly send you abusive e-mails.
