I know little about forums and how they work so I'd like to hear from some of you before I do anything. On a car forum that I'm on a thread turned political. This guy elhalisf gets all worked up and says (paraphasing) 'I hate America, I'm thinking about getting a gun and joining the fight against Americans.' Now he edited that post 20 min later and deleted all that. This guy's a Palistinian student going to college in Detroit.
Here's the thread, the post is #6 on this page and was edited at 9:01am check out how even his liberal friend said he sounded like a terrorist. The next guy said his background should be looked into. I assume these guys saw the unedited post too but one is his friend and the other one doesn't want to get involved.

Here's a paragraph cut and pasted from another political thread a couple of weeks ago. Same guy, same attitude.
"NO. all that bush did was go after all the Arab Americans in this country, including my 76 year old grand father. he had is WHOLE retirement fund in an Islamic bank, where they SIMPLY seized his full account balance under the excuse that he was funding terrorism. ALL OF IT. NO REASONS, NO TRIALS, NO APPEALS, NO NOTHING. has not seen that money to date."
I read his 'joining the fight' post before work and by the time I got home to respond he'd edited it. But I called him on it and of course he denies all. So do I drop a dime on the wannabe? It wouldn't be worth it unless they can retrieve the original post, can they do that? And will they, or will they blow it off. The guy needs to be watched, but it looks like they might be watching his family already. What I want to know is, just how lame is the FBI. Will this go anywhere? Or should I just drop it?
The forum has a good guy/bad guy list and apparantly he ripped off another forum member over some parts a couple of months back.
