Concerning the Message Boards and Posts of the Ely Times, Ely, NV.

One individual has posted threats and innuendos to threats on a regular basis. This individuals moniker is "nevada1". He has printed, in your paper, that he carries a gun (.45 cal) at all times and he claims he has confronted a local man with a shotgun. As a retired police office and a Magistrate from the State of Florida I recognize that there is an unstable component in play here. I have been verbally assulted by him in your paper and I have been in constant communication with the Moderator and editor of the paper. I have promised to have no contact with this individual via your message boards or Personal Messages. I have kept my promise but the baiting and threats continue. I even requested of the Moderator/Editor to disable the Personal Message feature of my membership, to no avail. Because of recent matters in Las Vegas and the extensive paper trail here in Ely if something happens because of the unstable nature of this individual the Ely Times will be right in the middle. I have tried to bring this to attention of your papers staff, moderator and editor but it seems to be falling on deaf ears.

Just a note to the wise,
