The following e-mail was sent to the supposed RFMF webmaster at the hushmail.com address that he left – two days and no reply so far – more evidence that it may be bogus.

Apologies to non-Fijian speakers.

@Steve: I think due to this kind of threats, some politic bloggers are quitting like Ms Vakaivosavosa did. It’s not only my blog getting those kind of threats. There are some other blogs too. They are even being searched, I heard.

Can’t report to anyone. Cos’ military is in charge, so if anything happen, nobody can help. So just for own safety as well as those who connected to them, bloggers are taking care what they publish online.

I’ve requested Ms Vakaivosavosa to remove my link. She’s also depressed about the whole situation and quit blogging like that. It’s very unfortunate the situation turn out like that.

Yah a friend of mine trace the IP. It comes from different internet service provider and not the one military uses. I don’t know who exactly sending those threats. But surely annoying. For now we’ll take it as a sick joke.

Do you know why this blogger quitting? http://vakaivosavosa.blogspot.com/
Any special reason?

As for me I would take a full legal action if I got such kind of email which is obviously threatening.

Yes, looks like a prank. Forget about it and enjoy your weekend.

looks bogus to me (i.e a hoax)

The RFMF uses unwired – the IP where is came from is part of a dynamic range used by connect.

i believe they used rfmfmil@hushmail.com as the e-mail address they left – the military is charge now – they don’t need to use anonymous web based e-mail – another indication that this is bogus.

Finally this is not the Army’s style – they know where you work so they can pick you up any time they want – no need to send you silly mails like this.

So all indications are to me that this is someone’s idea of a stupid joke.
