      Just saying, a guy threatened me 8 years ago who lived in the US. I contacted his local authorities and he ended up getting in quite a bit of shit.

      Again, I never threatened you. I said you’re a moron because you posted your address and a photo of your garage on the internet.

      YOU posted that stuff PUBLICALLY.

      You’re threatening me by claiming to have my IP address, and that you’ve scraped my profile, downloaded a local copy, and you’ll be using it against me.

      One is a moron posting personal information online, the other is someone gathering private (not publicly available info), and using it to triangulate my location.

          I feel safe because I don’t live in America where gun violence is an issue. It’s also my first time having an argument about something as stupid and autistic as network issues on Linux. Let’s not forget who called out the other person first. It was you. Calling me a moron, and then coming back to my profile days later to continue.

          I also feel safe because I used a VPN.

          I’m sure if you look at your logs you’ll see a few different IP addresses. Like I said, my friends also looked at your website.

          Why would I connect via VPN and then turn it off? That makes no sense.

          Either way, let me know if I should proceed. I’m familiar with starting the process of reporting someone who threatened me online, said they’ll use my IP to geolocate me, and asking me if I feel safe at night.

              My VPN is automatically connected with a killswitch. It’s always on. It’s not possible for me to connect without it. Like I said, you’re seeing my friends IP addresses.

              You clearly don’t understand what threatening means. Saying I’ll regret it, and I’ll see where it leads, are threats.

              I’m done discussing this with you directly.
