Your information is all over the Internet. I searched up a couple of things myself but I will not mention publicly what they were. You are obviously a heavy internet user and when you put yourself "out there" or "out here" as the case may be, people can dig it all up and post it publicly on a message board like this.


If you have the time, I would be interested in knowing those areas of concern in a PM.

That is why I asked you earlier in the thread if the claims Scratch made about you were true. If they are true and verifiable, you cannot rightly claim that a person is "smearing" you when you willingly put these things on the Internet.


The Blog wasn't "collecting". He was then adding his spin on top. That is when it becomes a smear campaign.

Josh, you have a new baby on the way. When your baby comes, boards like this will begin to fade in significance. Let them begin to fade right now. In the grand scheme, people and pissing contests on board don't matter. These people, including myself, don't pay your bills, do your work, clean your house and they won't be the Dad to your baby. You have to find a way to resist the impulse to give more importance a board like this and the people on it then they (we) warrant.


Ultimately I am under a lot of pressure. The baby was not planned (welcomed, but not planned), I have a company that I am trying to build, and there are health concerns that we are dealing with (including with the pregnancy). So when someone like Scratch is trying so hard to go after me, then I get this mystery email threatening my family.. They KNEW which Ward I was in. I don't even know how they knew that!!!! I have NEVER posted that information before!!!!

Do you know how scary that is????

Shut up about that for now. How many months until the baby arrives? I need to know for the thread.

Skains,

Trust me, Scratch doesn't know how to email spoof. Not many do. Not that it's hard, or means anyone who knows how to do it is smart, it's one of the fun, basic IT things computer techs learn from their friends or script kiddies learn from hacker websites. Full-fledged academics like Scratch whose area is not technical and email spoofing go together like a paragraph written by jskains and good grammar.

As for banning Scratch. Well, jskains, I think not. And I think the reason why is obvious.

If you really have a problem with what scratch is doing, please familiarize yourself with the rules of the board and take the matter to the admins. I have no idea what kind of case you have, but your posts are public domain, and your picture, well, probably borderline, but if you post it freely on blogs and so on with your religious and political commentary, that could be public domain too. Ok, enough on that, law isn't my area. I hate it.

Gadianton. Do you forget that Scratch made this whole thing public? I wanted to keep it a private matter. So if anyone should be banned, it should be him.

1) this was just on the news today. If you put your picture on-line it's public domain.

2) it's not difficult at all to find out what ward a person is in. I could even do that and I'm not that good with computers.

3) on another board I post to people didn't believe there was any danger in posting identifying information on the internet. I shall be using this as an example.

4) I assume it's too late for rock, paper, scissors.
Insert ironic quote from fellow board member here.

Then, after all this, you have the BALLS to continue to THREATEN ME??? You “F”.


Oh, really? Then what is my email address?


I DON'T KNOW, the HEADERS WERE STRIPPED!


One possibility is that someone used this board's emailing function which will send an email on behalf of another user.

Hmmm, I can't find it. Maybe it has been disabled.

For some of us though, we can't avoid it. Certain aspects of my life legally have to be public record, so I am doomed no matter what.
