Remember in 2015 when Islamic terrorists were using myLot to communicate with cell members?

I think it is one of the weirder PM's I have received here. Certainly one of the most prejudicial, considering it was based completely on conjecture, and that being because 'they' (whom the PM was written about) were from the middle east and followed Islam. But the person asked me what to do if they suspected members here of being part of a terrorist cell. I told them Homeland Security or the FBI were probably the people to contact. Never did hear anything else about it.

I wish I could recall whom it was - for my own personal edification, I still wouldn't toss the person's name around because that simply shouldn't be done in my opinion. But it is starting to irritate me.

That explains why I never heard anything about it - pure conjecture on the part of the seemingly paranoid soul who PM'd you.

I never heard or saw anything like that! You know people can be weird, though.

There is a certain type of person that seems to think Muslim automatically equals terrorist.

I got some weird messages from a former member. I say former because the member left the site. But they were extremely odd, asking me a ton of questions, none of which I felt comfortable answering. That was the only bad messaging experience I have had on mylot, thankfully.
