1. What the hell?

And that's it?

[funky_bug]

4. Yep - that's it!

Just a lovely little "get off the forum bitch" with the subject line announcing my traitor status.

Guess I pissed somebody off today, huh?

[Warpy]

22. Congratulations, grasshopper!

You seem to have done very well today.

[jjmalonejr]

2. See this post, too

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x554343

[funky_bug]

5. Yeah - that was my original post

I'm covering the main bases here... I wanted to see if others got a message, or if it was, perhaps, something I said.

[jjmalonejr]

44. Ooops

Didn't notice. Thought it was an epidemic.

[Dookus]

3. awww..

c'mon, post the reply to address so we call have some fun.

edit: just saw it's in there. Heeheee...

[funky_bug]

6. Gave that some thought...

My hubby mounted his white horse and signed up for a free e-mail address from the same service... his name is "freeperhater"...lol

But my curious nature demands to know if he singled me out for my good deeds, or if he was just bored and tired of wanking off to the press reviews of Clinton's book.

[Dookus]

7. heheh

he just got a welcoming message from me.

[funky_bug]

10. Aw! I feel loved!

Care to share?

[Dookus]

11. I'd like to

but I used words that tend to cause flamewars here. :P

[Eloriel]

43. You're probably one of few who have their email listed

That's precisely why mine isn't.

[Philostopher]

8. I think this is probably DU's groupie.

There's a FReeper who used to go by "AZ Joe" -- he used to post at Free Republic. He's sent 'mash notes' to other DUers, they've posted about it in the Lounge before. I recognize the 'zzn.com' and 'leader.ru' that are listed in the signature line, I'd bet anything it's him, or some buddy of his. He stalks DUers and sends them love letters because however much he claims to hate us liberals, he just can't control himself.

[funky_bug]

13. Interesting!

I'm among the masses... I have a freepin' stalker. Ah what a day!

[LTR]

28. AZ Joe is a turd that wouldn't flush

He's been harassing me for a couple months.

He pestered me for my address, so I sent him a map of Crawford, TX with the the street names blanked out. Still probably trying to figure the thing out.

Good luck, dickhead! I know you're reading this.

Heh heh heh...

9. Well, that's pretty snarky but at least it wasn't a death threat like I've

been getting from some j/o named Horace Gutman...but none since I reported his ass last week. :D

[funky_bug]

12. Holy BeeJeebus!

You're right... I'll take "bitch" over "die bitch" any day.

Besides, truth be told, I really AM a bitch!

[rumguy]

15. Horace Gutman is Az_Joe aka Johnny Nelson

They are all one and the same...

[mike1963]

18. Really!!!???!!! That's interesting...he was sending an email every day

counting down to June 12 when he and his "Aryan brothers" were going to show up at my house and "get rid of a liberal cunt..." I guess they can't read street signs. :D (And as I mentioned the other day, I did make sure I had my .357 and my Tec-9 handy.) ;-)

edit: just went to mailbox & looked, this guy has a little different kind of address, [e-mail]

Whatever, he's a fucking nutcase...

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Yeah... Unless I'm Mistaken

(and I've been known to be mistaken) ..isn't threatening someone over the internet a federal offense? I mean, I understand it doesn't rise to the level of Tommy Chong selling bongs, or anything, but maybe you should get law enforcement involved.

[rumguy]

14. That is Az_Joe aka Johnny Nelson

I've recently figured out these two names are the same person. Az_Joe has a lengthy history with several DUers on this board. His speciality is threats.

Johnny Nelson is another troll. He had a leader.zzn.com email and he acted just like Az_Joe. On another forum it became evident to me that they are the same person.

This guy is some kind of total loser freak. Best to ignore him....I think.

[funky_bug]

16. *singing*

"I'm in with the In Crowd..."

Nice to be among the stalked and hated. How cool am I?

Thanks for the input and info, y'all. I can get back to my regularly scheduled program. Nice detective work!

[Az]

19. Whatever his name is now

I take offense at him tarnishing the letters A and z. I got enough problems having to share them with the entire state of Arinzona.

[rumguy]

20. lol

[rumguy]

17. He loves to harrase women

He's conservative, he's been banned from FR however for harassing some women on there....

He accuses men of being homosexuals, but in a really, really crude ignorant manner.

And it's done in a way that is very threatening....or at least he thinks it is...

In short, he is a freakin' nut!

He's a classic closet case.

[TrogL]

21. there's no such thing as "a classic closet case"

What are you talking about?

[rumguy]

31. I figure Az_Joe is reading this - I was trying to get in a dig at him

Sorry if I hit a nerve...geezus...

[bratcatinok]

25. My sister called me to tell me to

watch out for him that he was harassing her on another board just like he did to us before. He harassed me here and her on FR. I don't think she was the one that got him banned from FR though. I haven't gotten anything yet from him but I expect to any time now.

There are some crazy nuts out there on the Internet. Just my luck I happened to get caught up with this one here last year.

[tom_paine]

45. Yes, I think he is a closeted homosexual, too

So MANY Busheviks are. It seems to be ahead of child molestation as the Busheviks' Favorite Pasttime.

[ShaneGR]

23. A word to the wise.....

Find out who his internet provider is and file a complaint of harrassment with them. Although that www.leader.ru leads me to believe he's in Russia? Would be interesting if we could get a tech to track his real name down.

[funky_bug]

24. Tracked and reported

I like fighting back.

[ShaneGR]

26. I actually emailed him....

I said "Get off the forum or what?" We'll see if I get a nasty response.

[funky_bug]

27. HA!

Keep me posted!

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

30. Uhhhh, I changed my email addy.

I was getting crappy email from this place.

I never knew my latent homosexuality came out so forecfully on message boards. Go figure.

[funky_bug]

32. He likes me! He really likes me! E-mail #2

This just in!

Two questions: What is "MOPAUL" and what exactly DO freepers carry, besides the King James wedged WAY up their asses?

Seriously, if any of the mods want me to help out with the Hate Mail Bag, by all means, contact me. This is too much fun!

[liberalpress]

33. Your next response...

...we freepers carry what? Syphillis?

[LTR]

35. Forward it to his email provider

http://www.zzn.com/membersarea_en/support_abuse.asp

And I'd remove your email address from your post. Who knows who's lurking.

[funky_bug]

36. Not gonna do it... wouldn't be prudent...lol

I'm not going to hide my addy because of one putz. My addy is easily found in my profile anyhow.

And I did report him yesterday. I'm sure he'll be back under another name... poor little wanker. I'd hate to be the innocent bystander on the street when Karma comes a-callin' for him!

[Ms. Clio]

40. Now I think he has really crossed the line

That sounds like a death threat--definitely forward it to his provider.

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. MOPAUL is a poster here at DU.

Why he has that in his subject line is beyond me. :shrug:

[Kinkistyle]

34. Thats a badge of honor!

Good going! Better to be insulted by a Freeper than be praised by a Freeper. ;)

[funky_bug]

37. AMEN! n/t

[imax2268]

38. I would have to say...

that he is a perfect blueprint if you want to build an idiot...!

[republicansareevil]

42. This is serious.

I don't understand the posters on here who are acting like this is some sort of joke. This person is harrassing DUers and even sending death threats? Even trying to find out their addresses? Report him immediately!!! How would you feel if this person actually tries to harm you or your family? What if he hurts the next person because you and others didn't do anything to stop him?

[apnu]

46. he's been reported to his ISP several times according to this thread.

but, as we all know, the Internet is a damnable place for anonymonity. Nobody really knows who or where this nutter is.

The upside is, this is a good reason for taking as many steps as necessary to protect your identity and privacy online.
