You changed all your privacy settings fast. That was good thinking. The internet is full of whackos.

Edit: And no, I wouldn't friend request you anyways. No offense, I just think that would be weeeeeird.
I would have to explain how some random grad student from Chicago was my FB friend, and I'm just not
that good at concocting lies.

I smell a budding bromance!

Very simple process, actually.

Your e-mail address provided me with several important pieces of information:

1) Your last name.
2) The first letter of your first name
3) Your school

From there, a simple Facebook search under the "University of Chicago" school search yielded roughly a dozen R. Wolfes.

Now, to find you, I simply looked through the profiles. I knew which one was you right off the bat because you posted a picture of yourself once as your profile picture under nonsynchronicity. But even if you hadn't, a betting man would have guessed that you were the one that was interested in the various Russian writers and philosophers based on your comments here at Sputnik.

From there, it was easy to learn where you completed your undergrad, all the jobs you've worked in the past few years, even the names of some of your friends, though given enough time and a desire to do so, I could even view all of them.

By looking at your friends' profiles, I would undoubtedly see some from where you currently go to school, some from where you completed your undergrad, and probably a large concentration from some city or county in the United States, which I would than logically deduce is the town in which you are from.

I could then run a google search, using both your last name and the name of the town in which you live. Depending on the size of that town, I could likely find the name of your parent/s, assuming they work for a business that has a website or are in anyway listed on the internet for something they do around town, of which there is a high probability.

I could then, using a phone book website, look up the home phone number of your parents (assuming they're listed) and call your parents, telling them to give you a stern talk about the importance of online security, and why it is dangerous to give out personal information online.

And all of this from an e-mail address, and remember, I'm a novice.

Haha, I could probably figure it out easily enough, it wouldn't even be terribly difficult to locate them, I'm just of the belief that a 23/24/25 year old graduate student at one of the top 10 universities in the nation should have better things to do with his time than prank musicians he happens to find unappealing.

C'mon man. You're not dumb, you actually appear to be quite intelligent. I don't know why you insist on trashing a hard-working musician over his lyrics. An education is meant to be used, not misused, and condescendingly crapping all over a guy over his lyrics just because you're smart and well educated is conceited, and quite frankly, while I have nothing against you personally (and actually find you quite amusing on the whole), I am not on board with sending such e-mails as the one you posted earlier.

Pretty sure that's a BIG felony, Principia. Oh well, it'd get you out of our hair for a while.

phew

is that avatar a metaphor for your drifting into mental obscurity

oh so you're noticed

you've

I would advise against e-mailing Jacob Bannon. I happen to admire the man greatly, and not just for
his music (which you clearly don't) but for the other things he does. He contributes many album
covers and designs to a ton of bands throughout the hardcore/metalcore genres, runs a record label,
paints, correspond with fans, and tour the country. He's a busy, respectable artist and e-mailing
him degrading trash for your own amusement is something I find reprehensible from someone who is
privileged with a fantastic education.

I would prefer if you kept your harassment to people who put themselves in a position to receive it,
i.e. those who comment on your reviews and lists or on your comments.You clearly wouldn't appreciate
it if it happened to you, as was indicated by the fact that you increased the security on your
Facebook page once you realized what was happening.

Just let the man do his work in his peace, and if you don't like it or appreciate it, let it go and
spend more time finding lyrics and music you DO enjoy, and feel free to share it here.

For example, you can harass uneducated me instead of Jacob Bannon. Or FreePizzaDay.

oh shit did someone just turn the heat up in here???

No, I know, he's definitely a smart guy, and though he's a Fine Arts major, I have no doubt you'll find an intellectually worthy adversary. I didn't say all of that to protect Bannon from having to respond to meaningful scholarly inquiry, I mean to protect him from usual internet douchebaggery.

So I'm glad that your e-mailing him with respect for him and his time, and I am actually quite curious to see what he says if he responds.

And I hope I'm not coming off as a jerk. I legitimately find you entertaining despite the fact that I disagree with almost everything you've ever said here. I just want to make sure that you realize that you're too bright to be senselessly harassing people's life work.
