What was it that you did? Just so others will know not to do it. :)

God, don't beat yourself up over it, REALLY! Surely you didn't threaten to
murder someone's family starting with the children first, or make threats to
elle presidante??

That about sums it up really, unless you used an apostrophe instead of a
semi-colon, or heaven forbid, WROTE YOUR ENTIRE MESSAGE IN CCC AAA PPP III
TTT AAA LLL letters.

What you'll soon learn about usenet is that there's the group-guidelines and
then there's the hidden agenda, within which you'll find mostly suicidal
lunatics (of whom the net is ideally suited) or net-nanny's putting the
world to rights (of whom in the real world would be told to shove off, hence
why they're on usenet).
