Big Game Hunting

I was doing a bit of story investigation this morning and came upon these two buildings.  Do they look familiar to anyone?

Well John it sounds as though you are on the trail of a nasty creature.

What kind of beastie are you hunting?

Is it more than one nasty beastie?

I'll give it some thought and see if I can tie these places together.

Meanwhile I have the info on the facilities in Norristown and Clarks Summit that you requested.

[John Morgan]

It's just one nasty beast Kirk.

Hey, are you crazy posting that info here?

[Reading resident]

Who's homes are these? Sorry for being out of the loop.

[John Morgan]

One is the home of an abusive commenter, the other is his place of work. It's a message to let him know I know who he is.

[one nasty beast]

Chortle, chortle, very inside, ladies (Beast gives a big, knowing wink). Beast is reminded of the Laurel & Hardy slogan: "Two minds without a single thought."

[John Morgan]

It sure took you long enough to come up with that comment after reading the blog. I assume you thought about it all the way back from Clarks Summit St.

[Reading resident]

This is great stuff! I think. You are great!

[Truth]

John,

If you think those are the home and place of work of "one nasty beast", you are so far off it's ridiculous.

I know who "onb" is and where "onb" works.

WRONG! Guess again.

John
Lets see.....
Try and figure out who I am and where I live,
Just for fun

[John Morgan]

I don't tap these resources just for fun. ONB violated state laws and federal laws.

[Truth]

So what you're saying is that based on your personal belief (since you are neither law enforcement nor a lwayer) that ONB has violated some law, that justifies your acting as an ersatz stalker, and a bad one at that, because you are dead wrong about ONB's identity?

[John Morgan]

Stalker? ONB threatened to stalk me after harassing me on this blog about being disabled, a violation of the Human Relations Act.

[Truth]

Oh please, John.

Investigators photograph people they believe are fraudulently collecting disability payments all the time. It's hardly stalking.

I hate to break it to you, but if you're collecting disability payments, I can practically guarantee you you're regularly being photographed. It's just what insurance investigators do, as a regular part of their jobs.

Kind of makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?

Smile, and watch your posture. Wouldn't want to show too much paunch, after all.

[John Morgan]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[Truth]

Yah, right, this from a man who goes around snapping digipics of the wrong person's home and workplace. What a fool you are. I hope that whoever lives and works in these buildings sues your a$$ off.

[Truth]

FWIW, I agree with you an the Xavios/RPA scam. Shameful.

I think Xavios needs an opponent.

[John Morgan]

These are the longitude and latitude coordinates where ONB has logged on to their internet provider. Repeatedly.

Having had my rights violated by this person I have the right to determine who it is.

It's interesting you don't have the courage to leave comments under your own name. It's easy to say things and take potshots when you hide under the cloak of anonymity isn't it? Of course no one takes anything seriously said by one who refuses to divulge their identity.

[John Morgan]

Oh, your coordinates show a location in Amity Township, a farm near the school on Old Airport Road.

[Reading resident]

WOW! I used to live near a school on old airport rd in earlville.

[Truth]

My coordinates show that?

My good buddy, you've been scammed by whoever sold you that software. I am more than 25 miles from that location, and have been all day.

Maybe it's a little less than that as the crow flies, but if I had to get to that place in Amity, which I do know where it is, it'd take me almost 45 minutes to get there. What's freaky is that I do have a family member who has a close friend who lives within about a mile of where you think I am, but I haven't been there since New Year's Day.

If I were you, I'd seek a refund.

[Truth]

Besides, when someone is on dialup, the best you can hope to sleuth is where some router in the chain is, probably the next router up from the modem farm, or the one that does the IP address conversion from dynamic to static. You might at least re-confirm that.

For Gawd's sake, don't take MY word for it.

[Truth]

FWIW, you know all those cute little snippets of software on major home pages that give you stuff like the current weather where you are?

You know them?

Two things. They show a different town every time I log on, and they've never gotten the correct town even once.

So much for the value of tracking software. It's not an exact science, John.

Who told you it was?

Absent a static IP address, all you can do is fish blindly.

Look, let's stipulate that we each think that the other's politics are kaka, okay? Fine.

It bothers me to see someone make an ass of themselves, John. It just does. You're wrong here, dead wrong.

You need to reassess.

[John Morgan]

The asses are those who blog while afraid to reveal who they are so their opinions can be taken seriously. You asked how the site traffic software tracked you so I checked. These are the coordinates and they correspond to a farm at 882 Old Airport Road near Amityville.

[Truth]

I am not now, nor have I ever logged onto the Internet from anywhere near 882 Old Airport Road.

You're an idiot, and now everyone here knows it, if they didn't before.

Why don't you go harrass somebody who lives there, whoever it is. When they summon the Amity Township police, I'll be happy to read about it, from amy miles away.

[John Morgan]

Your assumption that I'd go harass anyone is highly offensive. The site traffic reports give a general area, based on tracking traffic I know of. It does give a good general geographical reference, though not exact. What it does is provide enough of a area to determine who a visitor likely is based on the content of their commentary.

For example, I suspected a slightly different spot for ONB and your reaction tells allows me to zero in on the alternative. The coordinates are uncannily accurate for a small area. For example, hits from the U.S. Capital or the state capital or people whom I know, come very close.
