Above is the only part of your post that I felt compelled to excerpt and comment on. I agree with you about the idiots on YouTube and elsewhere who have trashed the band and Dave for the effort they've given since last winter. VH has given us their best, and everyone should appreciate it much more than they seemingly have.
However, it's important to remember that for all of the "abuse" (either real or perceived) that Van Halen has taken from their "fans", there have certainly been many instances where the situation was reversed. Many of us here, who live and die with Roth/VH, have certainly implied or outright stated that VH is not totally blameless in bringing some "hate" down on themselves from time to time.
You don't need to do a lot of digging within this very website to find the most diehard Classic VH fans melting their keyboards about "fan abuse" at the hands of Van Halen. Impassioned and loqacious rants about the years of deafening silence, lack of information coming from "Howdy Doody Mountain", general disregard and disrespect for the fan base, and claims that Edward had morphed into nothing more than a flip-flop and sneaker shilling hack obsessed with "Frankenstripe lawsuits" litter the landscape here if you scratch just slightly below the surface.
Granted, all of that has been wiped away since the release of ADKOT and the tour. Eddie and Co. have shown everyone that they're still at or near the top of their games.Just remember boys and girls, to get Nick the Dick and his partner FORD off your porch when they come to your home you just need to pay them for the pizza.Comment

I'm strong in some ways, but VERY weak in others. I tend to put the needs of others ahead of my own, which causes all sorts of problems in my life. e.g., I covered my room-mates share of bills because he was laid off for 2 weeks.
The deal was he would pay all of this months rent. That lay-off has now been 6 weeks so rent hasn't been paid. Expecting the eviction notice any day now...and there is NO cheap rentals in this shit-hole city.
So...looks like my cats will be going into foster care, and I'll be finding a couch to crash on for a couple of months while I get back on my feet.
As they say, that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I'm gonna be fucking Wonder Woman after this."Ya know what they say about angels... An angel is a supernatural being or spirit, usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies. Plus Roth fan boards..."- ZahZoo April 2013Comment

I had some dildo calling himself "David Roth" hitting all my videos from New Orleans with insults in all CAPS. Was amusing at first but then I had to block him and then eventually deleted his comments. He later came back as "rockandroll" something or other I can't remember...and I had to do the same to him under that nickname as well. Was the same assinine comments. Referring to the New Orleans fans as COON ASSES and that Van Halen was dead and so was Dave.
He sent me a personal comment telling me to quit claiming my vids were from New Orleans and such as he was there and none of it is from that show. Never mind that Dave mentions Louisiana and New Orleans in several videos. Elvis can vouch that he saw me etc. I'm sure now that I've blocked the second nickname a third will appear. Odd thing is he never once mentioned praise for Hagar directly....but his comments stunk of Spam dick sucking undertones.Comment

If the person is in the US... based on federal and state law it is classified as a "Terroristic Threat". Based on which state the idiot lives in it can be a misdemeanor or felony offense and if convicted the punishment can vary widely from hard prison time to probation. If law enforcement decides to even investigate it... the idiot will be subjected to a search warrant executed against their home and/or employer and confiscation of their computer is the first step. Where it goes from there depends on the prosecuting attorney for the locale.
If you can get it that far... even if not prosecuted you will have scared this person shitless by having local police or the FBI in their home or place of employment searching and seizing their computers. If this occurred at work... they'll be joining the unemployed rather quickly. Of course you don't know if pumkinspicegirl101 is an adult or some stupid kid whose parents are failing to raise half right. But the law applies either way... even the parents can be implicated if it goes that far.
Less severe options... Find out the Security/Abuse contact for the web site that this occurred. Send them a copy of the threat. Minimum you can get the person's account shut off and possibly IP banned. If you want to pursue criminal charges request their IP address and any identifying info. If you can get their IP address you can report them to their ISP and most likely they will lose internet service. Even if it's posted via a cell phone they can lose their phone service as criminal activity is a huge no-no in all service contracts. Now if it's a Gar type... this avenue may not work unless the local library can determine which bridge troll committed the crime...
At the minimum... I'd suggest reporting the threat to the outfit it occurred on. In my real world life in IT Security I've seen things like this go all the way to 5 years in federal prison to investigated and computers confiscated then charges dropped. Either way... it's better to report this than have to look over your shoulder for months wondering if Fab's biker friends are really stalking you..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

That person actually was a "she" and she actually did sign up here and did get smacked down before the admins banned her. She had opened an FB account as David Roth. Somebody else followed her here and then the 2 crazies were going at it pretty hard before they were canned.I like to pay close attention to the things I'll forget later...Comment

Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!Comment

Most of these assholes are posting threats from Starbucks or Panera Bread free WiFi hotspots --- so there's no way to track them via IP address to their laptop or phoneComment

I think Sammy reflects the jewish stereotype more than Dave. Sammy is the one peddling and selling. I've never seen Dave doing ads for kosher hotdogs, or selling financial services. He does refer to diamonds in his show name Diamond Dave but he isn't saying go down to my uncle Marvin Weiss in the district, he will give you a good deal.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
