My UW Email is Being Attacked
Bob Raymond , a frequent commentator here, has hacked this site. Apparently, having hacked TA, he is now trying to hack my UW account and has appeared on the list of people trying to access my UW listserv account. Of course he COULD be a robot?
Here is an example of less than 24 hours worth of these emails:
Let’s make two things clear. First of all, I never hacked your blog. Second, I appeared in your list simply because I used the public webpage http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/uwpub
to sign up for your listserv account.
An apology is expected, but, knowing your arrogant attitude, probably will not be forthcoming.
Bob …
1. You have hacked TA .. otherwise you could not post w/o my first getting to approve your comments. You have also refused repeatedly to identify yourself or to respond to emails sent to the address you use when you make these posts.
2. All I know about the listserv is that I get (as the post showed) a dozen or so emails like yours every day. These all come from emails, like yours, that are anonymous in the sense that there is never a response to the request for identification but the email address itself never generates an error. This leads to the conclusion that someone, you seem the likely person, is using a service that allows you to send emails from false addresses.
3. What reason, other than a very worrisome effort to hack into a UW email account, would anyone bother to request permission to a listserv I run on campus? The most likely reason, it would seem to me, is an effort to spam whoever is on the list. Maybe I should invite you to see what happens but then I would be doing others who legitimately subscribe a disfavor.
4. Of course, you can always come clean and let me know who you are.
Anyone ever tell you that you are paranoid?
There are some facts here:
1. You have somehow hacked WordPress.
2. You have attempted to access my listserv at a Washington State Account.
3. You have a need to call me “fat slob” and accuse me of being psychotic.
Why would any of that indicate delusional thinking on my part?
