Last evening I received the following email, amazingly from myself (which is strange, because I ended up falling asleep early last night):
>From your post on the AnandTech Forum question on Halo 2....

<<< "Bush got into office the first time because our election/court system failed.
He got in a second time because Americans in general are really, really stupid." >>>

If that's the way you feel, why not leave the country instead of hiding in New England, Mr. Hunter?

Now, I traced the email back to where it originated, but my question is... why if you want to confront someone about their views, hide your identity? It doesnt make any sense to me. I'm more than happy to discuss my feelings about anything, with anyone (through PM if necessary).

They also went though all the trouble of finding my email address which isnt posted on the forums, nor on my websites. Most likely through my whois records.

I love the morons who suggest that the 49% should leave the country... I wonder if they ever considered that simply the losses of those NUMBERS would make it impossible for this country to function....

weird....

but i will say this: those who don't like being told "love it or leave it" need to realize that if they want freedom to express themselves that is also granted to the person who responded to them.

Modeps,

That situation sounds horrible. Are you able to find the IP address of where the E-mail originated - even though they spoofed the rest of the E-mail. If so, sounds like some information that the mods could use to cross-reference it against the records of the users here. Time to bring that person (rather, coward) down. :(

Yeah, I've got the IP, and I've found out that this person probably has children in the military as well, simply from the IP.

this is not a P&amp;N thread. please leave politics out. it's about some guy who felt the need to hide his identity, instead of just coming outright and saying what he felt.
