I wrote a response to somone about Islam being a cancer on the world. I opened two rather nasty emails from people who got my email address quoting me word for word. I dont mind defending my beliefs, but I was wondering how they got my email address....
Check your mail .... it’s a ‘dough!!!’ moment.
i dont think so
Did you have it in your profile? I used to but took it down after the same sort of thing ... did you get them here in a personal reply or your regular email address?
Check the White House, they might have given out your email address.
I looked at your “contact” info and your email address is there.
If you go to your homepage you’ll find it in “Contact”. I believe you can remove it.
You put it there. You can remove it.
You published your email address. That’s how it happened, silly one.
Jim Thompson sold it.
Sue immediately.
Most likely it came from a Google search of your username which comes up with an old profile page that has an email addy on it.
http://209.157.64.201/~yorlik803/contact?U=%2Ftag%2F*%2F
You listed your email on your contact page.
There are options for not having your email appear there:

Slapping my head with a two by four.....
Damn I am stupid....but it is fun to read the emails....
OK, I know I’m not the only one who just checked my own contact info...
I know Jim Thomson ....
Who is this Sue you talk about? :-D
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week; be sure to tip your waitresses and bartenders....
I’m sure you realize perfectly well that your thread title and post will show up on lefty sites within minutes.......wanna explain why you would write such a thing?
There was something fishy about one of your posts.
So I reported you.
Do a google search for your email address. You might have posted it somewhere once. Mine is all over the place, one of mine anyway.
Aren’t you glad you didn’t post any naughty cartoons of Mohammed and his camel?
parsy, who says it could have been worse
You could get yourself a gmail address or something that you use only for FR, that way you’re not giving out your private address to the evildoers.
