send me a "private" email like this or I will........

Herb,
I don't quite understand what's going on here. I logged in and it says
that I am a "banned user". Can you please tell me why? You have my real
name, you have my real e-mail address, you have my real phone number and my
real P.O. Box address. Is it because I use an alias Jahosopher Jahosafat on
the Forums? I do that for security reasons. I have had death threats
directed at me in the past from disgruntled psychopathic "internet stalkers"
intent on tracking me down because they are angered by opinions I may have
expressed. The FBI subsequently made their contact and appropriate actions
were taken. Therefore it is actually deemed by the FBI as prudent to use an
alias on the internet as despite your good efforts, there indeed does appear
to be one or two such individuals within the AM cadre as well. I have not
sold anything on AM, but I have made several purchases from fellow Am'ers
placing ads. The transactions went smoothly and I consider AM as a
beneficial resource for my personal Astrophysical studies. So I'm a little
confused here. Is it just that my viewpoint has rubbed someone the wrong
way, and they have enough clout to tell you to ban me? Is AM really just a
country club, reserved for an elitist few that tow a particular mindset? If
so, then please convey to Mr. ------- ------ that I appreciated his responsive
commentary and found it to be very accurate in it's assessment. As for Mr.
------, he openly admits to having engaged in behavior towards me that in
any Court would be deemed as "stalking behavior". I appreciate your keeping
my real world identity private as per your subscription averments. I
certainly do not want any direct contacts from Mr. ------, and have, for my
own protection, made a copy of his admissions of obsessively trying to track
me down. With the exception of Mr. ------, the conversations with other
AM'er while not always completely cordial has been reasonably respectful, and
when the discussion has become strained, we have conveyed to one another
that we harbor no ill-will. Possibly it may be advantageous that you
advise Mr. ------ that indeed his behavior does legally constitute
"stalking", and that he refrain from such compulsiveness, and that I for one
will not hestitate to bring the full force of the appropriate investigative
authorities down upon anyone who is unable to control such impulses.

Thank You for your consideration of the matter.



I don't like "private" alias emails and if you send me another I post your REAL name.

Herb
