Craigslist a "secure" site? Uhhhh, right...
It appears some Nugget-Head on the Craigslist Rants & Raves Forum hacked my remail account, got my personal info, and posted it in R&R. My blogs are no secret, but I realized that keeping your address unlisted with your local phone service provider doesn't keep you off of Whitepages-dot-com.
This jackass posted a link to my address complete with a map.
I don't have any problem with being attacked on my blogs, but I've previously had several emails from some Left-Wing Craiglist nutcase named Robert Paul, demanding my address so that he could "introduce my family to his Glock".
I have a wife and children, and although 99% of what you read in a Craigslist forum is BS, I don't take death threats lightly, and therefore I immediately reported the revealing of my address by this other clown to CL Admin (as if that will mean much).
My advice to you, O reader, is to create an account on WhitePages-dot-com, hunt down your information, and delete it from their database. Whitepages is a quick way to find someone, and their robots capture your information and display it for anybody unless you block it. Intelius, PeopleSearch, and other services won't give you much info about anyone unless you pay them for it.
The other thing I suggest is linking a Craigslist user account to a throwaway email account like Yahoo, and not your primary ISP email box.
This is the kind of crap Lefties pull when you flush their logic down the toilet in an open debate forum. Be prepared for this kind of shenanigans.

I don't agree with too much of what you post here. It isn't that I'm for liberals but more that people like you divide our country. Yes I know both sides do this.
Don't you realize this type of division is bringing our country down?
That being written, no one has the right to threaten your family or you. You have a right to your opinion, whether or not I or anyone else agrees with it.
My life was threatened once also. I did write to Craigslist and I never heard from that person again.
I "divide the country"? I don't "bring this country down"... I LOVE this country, and its principles, and its freedom. It's LIBERALS that bring this country down, with their wacked-out claims like "capitalism is a failure", when it was free-market capitalism that made the U.S. the superpower it is today.
I've watched what happens when you go along with liberals. They've been ruining California for 30 years. Right now, the state faces another budget shortfall. Home values are in the basement. We have billions of dollars in black gold, right off our coast, and the liberals want to make sure NOBODY gets a drop of it. Our Central Valley, a HUGE source of income for the state, is being crippled by Liberal Environmentalists over a 3 inch FISH that nobody ever heard about.
If I'm a divider, it's because I divide reason from emotion-driven fanaticism.
Yes - I agree with you here, partly.
I did overstate that YOU are dividing country. Whatever my excuse is for writing that, being tired from work etc., I apologize.
Though I didn't write it earlier, I do realize you are not the only one and there are wingnuts at both ends of the political spectrum.
To say that one side or another is guilty of this or started it, only acerbates the divide. The problem remains and is getting worse.
There is no real negotiation going on. Both sides are saying, "If you only do it our way, things will be better." Meanwhile a downward spiral that did start a long time ago continues, both in this state and this country.
"Capitalism is a failure?" How many people do you think actually believe and practice that? A very few and they are also feeding the divide.
Also, true socialism, has been proven not to work (Russia, Eastern Europe.) So I don't see communism as an answer, but I also don't see total disregard for the people of this country, as an answer either.
If those who run giant corporations could be trusted without regulation, it would be wonderful. But with the Enron, WorldCom and other recent enormous company and bank meltdowns, it should be obvious to anyone that regulation is also needed.
Brinkmanship is game played by both sides, and a lot of people. However, the people pulling on the ends of the rope have gotten so polarized with so many absolutes, neither side is making any gains.
With all the extreme rhetoric, many, maybe most, have put themselves in a position that they have no room to negotiate. Yeah I realize President Obama said that Friday, but not only it is true and though he didn't say it, it applies to the Democrats and liberals as well.
I would prefer not to have an devastating event take place to get the people we elected to come some sort of beneficial agreement. But the self created divide has become so great we are no longer talking but rather hurling word bombs at one another.
(If I actually said that somewhere or it was taken out of context and written, it would seem a terrorist threat to either side, generating even another conspiracy theory.)
I believe we have succeeded when we have found a middle ground that benefits the very most, if not all of our people. We are very close to not being able to get there from here.
The divide does exist, and both sides are making it larger.
Apology accepted.
Your comentary is reasonable. I am passionate about what I believe, but I don't labor under the delusion that all conservatives all anointed saints. The whole Mark Sanford affair is disgraceful. Some of the shrill commentary by talk show hosts is over-the-top as well.
I just wish that the mainstream media would spend even 1/4 of the time they spend berating Limbaugh for his comments on Haiti, with taking on inflammatory comments by elected leaders like Nancy Pelosi or Alan Grayson.
I just heard that a recent opinion poll names Obama as the most polarizing President in history. Obama has certainly done little or nothing to bring Democrats and Republicans together, and his little so-called "Baltimore Beatdown" has very likely burned some bridges and left behind some scorched earth in his wake.
Liberal Democrats have shown little or no interest in doing anything in a bipartisan manner, and it's not going to improve any time soon.
I agree with what you said about the Baltimore thing too, if you mean last Friday. Obama encourages them for a talk and then slams everything proposed to him.
That also isn't helping. Obama is polarizing and now is not the time for more contention.
Now I'm starting to repeat myself.
I originally responded to you because I didn't like that you were being threatened. There's something wrong with someone who carry's a peace sign and threatens you and yours with a Glock.
I have children and granchildren, also. My children are adults now, but if anyone, anywhere threatens them, I would circle the wagons and tell everyone to get all the help I could.
You have intelligence, for sure. I also now don't believe you're the one on the end of the rope though you may be farther from the center than I am.
Have a better one
We probably agree more than we disagree.
Take care and be well.
