My Own Suggestion

Not to worry my family and friends, but I've received a couple of email threats this week. Someone using an anonymous encrypted email gateway called http://www.hushtools.com has been accusing one of my friends of theft, and threatening to hurt me or Celeste if I don't identify him and where he's from. Being a veteran netizen, I don't take this kind of thing seriously. I know that anyone can pretend to be anything online, and that anonymity allows the most harmless punks to play bad ass for a day. Nevertheless, threatening someone is a crime, even when the threats are most likely coming from a slighted ex-girlfriend looking for vindication. So just to make sure that there's a public record I've reposted both of these threats for your reading pleasure here; http://codery.posterous.com/i-suggest-you-read-this-jesse and here; http://codery.posterous.com/suggestion.
 
Whoever she is I give her points for dramatic effect. However I'm certain my friend didn't steal a car let alone $100k. Furthermore, even if it were difficult to discover his last name and hometown, what good would they be to someone who was trying to locate stolen property? Someone has watched "No Country for Old Men" a few too many times. This is the real world, not a crime drama. I'm sorry that he broke your heart, but there are plenty of fish in the sea. Move on.
 
It's unfortunate that this person is using the personal information that I share here on my blog and lifestream to threaten my girlfriend and I. People have warned me that someday I'll have a stalker, and in a way they were right. However, I maintain that transparency is the only policy. Tomorrow some crazy driver could mow me down on my way to work, but if I get a picture of his license plate he won't get away with it, and I have plenty of cameras on me at all times. So again, I don't expect I'll ever get the pleasure of meeting this prick in person, but if I ever do I just have this to say; get ready to be Internet famous!
