The Bumpage Fear Index

That's right folks. We now have our very own Fear Index.
You might fear; The Government, Mexican illegals, Job security, Google Information gathering software or even just plain old Spiders.
I'm not going to make individual threads, I've made this all encompassing thread to allow to vote, and to be able to change your vote if you begin to feel safer or even more fearful.
Posting information (real or not) that could affect the Bumpage Fear Index is strongly recommended.

Wasn't woodruff at level 12 when he got those threats and fled in terror from the forum?

Please tell me more about this incident, it sounds like something I would find highly entertaining.

Woodruff actually posted something here, but he's deleted it now.
See, it's these sort of occurrences, that increase my fear.

True enough.
But what made him too afraid to leave it here?

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

It's a fine line before you just snap. Deal with the situation now. Understand how frail the human mind is. Then start a thread about Mexicans and get it off your chest.

Silence Bene Gesserit witch!
By my will alone I set my mind in motion,
By the juice of Saffo thoughts acquire speed,
Lips acquire stain, stain becomes the warning -
By my will alone I set my mind in motion.
This thread should just be turned into a thread of Frank Herbert quotes rather than, yet another, thread about Woodruff. My favorite remains this one, as none in all of Professor Herbert's books better encapsulated the infinite scale of the tale he wove than this:
Nuclear weapons were a reserve held for one purpose: defense of humankind should another intelligence ever be encountered.

It makes my feel thankful that Pedro is not good at pumping fear or discrediting the opposition. The KGB was much better with this exact strategy...

there is a fine line, and usually that fine line leads to shootings, uprisings, civil unrest and rioting. Not people sitting home shaking in their boots and pissing their pants and being paranoid. I guess that is just European Mentality, Understand, I am an American. We take our shit to the streets. First.....peacefully
We are not Afraid!
even little girls are standing up.....
What is your problem with Mexicans? I mean, I know your problem with Americans...
P.S. That was open mic time, and I simply read the Declaration of Independence, including the charges against King George...

You're ridiculous, Woodruff. You don't even have the balls to stand up for yourself..........as yourself.
By the way, great thread there Pedro!

I was on a 30 day forum ban when it happened so i don't know the particulars. When i got back from my banz i heard about it. Evidently
someone "threatened" woodruff and he wrote a long diatribe about how the lives of his family and yes, even those of his students were in danger, so he would be "leaving" CC. Then i went on my 6 month banz and when i got back woodruff had returned. He gets pissy when i talk about it.

After the 18th time of making this accusation, I'd think you would just open a C&A ticket, jackass.
