What do you think? Do you think the charges should have been more

severe?

Not necessarily, but...

Do you think she lost the plot?

... her mental health should probably be evaluated. I would also wonder what the relationship was like, i.e. maybe he was mentally abusive, but
her
reaction is extreme.

I would more wonder if she abused him. I think this was akin to coming home and finding your bunny boiling on the stove. This may not have been the first time she has tried the pregnancy bit, it just so happened that this time she really wasy.

That brings up another point. When a woman acts out towards a man, everyone immediately wonders if he abuses her. If a man did something similar (IE - delivering a cooler with a dead animal, nobody questions if he was being abused
in the relationship. It is throw him in jail and round file the key.

I cannot argue against that for sure!

This is yet another reason not to get into a serious relationship these days. There is this tendency of the girl getting your dog during divorce and then putting him down as a form of revenge. This is no myth, I have had friends which suffered through versions of this.

A criminologist once said that this crap happens because the abuser does not believe you are credible threat. Ie. if everybody knows Arelor is a dangerous sociopath who will hang you with your own entrails if you dare looking at his horse in a funny way, then Arelor is very unlikely to need to ever prove his point. The issue I have is that this point of view does not lead to a stable society, specially when there is people who poses a credible threat but harassers are too blind to notice.

Harassment is very hard to get rid off these days. The winning move is not to play.

I posted it to Fido DEBATE from 1:2320/105, so that would make sense. It left here and went to Nick Andre's system, which is where I have Fido DEBATE routed to, so that would also make sense.

As you appantely also saw it in Dove DEBATE and I didn't post it there (it doesn't show up in Dove DEBATE here), I would suggest that someone who got it from the FIDO side (via FTN) then bagged it up in a QWK packet and sent it out into DOVE.

I don't see my FIDO-posted messages in Dove DEBATE. I don't see your DOVE messages, or MRO's, or mine, or anyone else's except Rug Rat's, in FIDO
DEBATE. The last FIDO DEBATE post received here before Rug Rat's is from May, *2024*, from the "girls got chip planted" spammer.

Seeing as how I am not seeing the same messages in *both* areas, and seeing
as how I previously posted my not-the-same internal codes, I don't think there is a config error here causing the crossposting.

X-FTN-PATH 135/250 115 3634/12

That is the path that Rug Rat's FIDO messages take to get from his system to me. Unless it is maybe happening on Rug Rat's system, I don't
think that helps much as anyone could be receiving the FIDO messages, that isn't between me or him, and then repackaging them as QWK messages to DOVE.

I am posting this message to you on DOVE. If it makes it to FIDO DEBATE, checking the path it took might help.

Dumas is very unlikely to ever look at Arelor's horse now. :D
