This new user found my email address. It's not public, so I'm wondering how he did that.

Anybody want to see if they can find it too?

Then maybe I'll find the hole in my "security settings".

@fredsbend I couldn't find in two minutes of looking

Hey

just read mark 12 this morning. Why did Jesus tell the scribe that he was not far from the kingdom of heaven. Why was the scribe not already in the kingdom based on his acceptance of what Jesus said? What else was there for him to understand? What am I supposed to see from this.

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

@curiousdannii Amateur. jk. Thanks for trying.

@fredsbend A google of "fredsbend email" gave me this on the first page of results. Is that you?

@BruceAlderman I googled the same thing but did not even see that page.

@TRiG That's what I get for registering a domain.

Yep, pretty sure that's what's happened. I've googled!

So should I even respond to the email? The exact text of it:

> Are you the fred who has been crucifying my posts on christianity.stackexchange.com ???

It's this new user, btw.

I guess worst case scenario he spams my email and blog, but that's why there's IP blocking.

@fredsbend I actually cracked up a bit at that.

I personally wouldn't respond.

@El'endiaStarman Yeah, I'm not sure it will be fruitful.

I wonder what his motivation would be to find my email and personal message me?

What if he happens to moonlight as a hacker and just wants to destroy me now? Enemy of the State kind of stuff.

@fredsbend Do you often have paranoid fantasies? :P

But I tend to agree with Starman that it's probably best not to respond.

It's a bit stalker-ish.

@LeeWoofenden I don't have to tell you anything.

@LeeWoofenden But I'm a venture-down-the-rabbit-hole kind of guy.

Alice and I are best friends.

@fredsbend It's your funeral!

@fredsbend I'd troll him. "No, I've never even heard of christianity.stackexchange.com. Why are you harassing me?"

@BruceAlderman That might make things interesting.

Until he visits the upper room.

@fredsbend Then fredsbend says..."Who, me? Oh, no, you must be talking about a different fredsbend."

@El'endiaStarman Je suis fredsbend.

I'll keep you updated. I think I will indeed respond tonight.

[gasp] Such a risk-taker!

@fredsbend Ask him how the nails feel.

@fredsbend If you're subsequently offline for a lengthy time, we can assume what happened.

@BruceAlderman lol. Call the fire department. Maybe I should have a check in partner.

@LeeWoofenden That would certainly provoke a certain kind of argument.

@LeeWoofenden I sure hope the response would be..."excruciating"...

@El'endiaStarman What is that, an English joke? Get outta here, nerd!

@BruceAlderman Nous sommes fredsbend.
