I know I don't post much, but you are the only ones I can turn to now.  So here's my problem:

There is someone I know of who is threatening someone I know with bodily harm.  The person being threatened has gone a little overboard with their admiration for someone and the aggressor has posted their intent on a blog on the Internet.  Although the threat is vague the intent is clear.  My problem is that I want to copy these posts, but am afraid of staying on the site too long for fear of being discovered.  The aggressor is very out there in their quest of stopping this person and any others they believe to be in the wrong.

My dilemma is that I am afraid what might happen to the victim, but don't know how to go about "protecting" them.  I know I am being very vague, but all this has gotten me very neervous.  If you have any suggestions please feel free to IM me or if you need more info also IM me.

Marcia,

You have to tell the person in danger, and you have to tell law enforcement.  I assume the threat is physical harm, and if so it must be taken seriously.  You cannot protect them on your own, you must involve those whose job it is to protect us..  If you believe you must copy the web pages to convince the person that he/she is in danger, then go to the local library and use a public computer that won't be traced back to your ISP.  And contact law enforcement before something awful happens.
