No, I didn't hear about him posting pics of your house and full name. I certainly wouldn't put it past him, and how did he get a hold of that info?

Sorry, I missed your post. What happened was I was having a conversation with friends in Australia and we got around to the subject of amateur radio, we found out we were both hams and I made the mistake of putting out my ham call sign to that person followed by that assswipe hand using that information to find my address and full name and going further, finding my house on Google Earth and posting several pictures of it here.
Completely uncalled for, especially when I was not even talking to him, never talked to him before and certainly don't want to now and he has zero remorse about it.
Russ pulled the post but didn't even tell him to back off or some such.
Hand thinks I deserved it for daring to put out my call sign, where the original idea was we (the Australian couple I was actually talking to) could meet up on the ham bands, technology has progressed to the point where there is a great app on smart phones that puts hams on a world wide link and we don't even need a transmitter and receiver to do that if we so choose.
That kind of link is on the higher frequency bands, like 2 meters, 145 Mhz, point to point contacts if you can't contact directly on lower frequencies like 20 meters, 14 Mhz, which allows round the world contacts directly from say Australia to the US.
So he was directly interfering with a conversation done innocently enough where hams exchange call signs all the time but he viewed it as a way to do his troll tricks and he just laughs about it, thinking he is some kind of intellectual giant because he can get around patent law in his engineering work making a slightly different tin can.
That last bit was from him, I didn't make that up. The wording of his phrase about his job tells me he is some kind of civil engineer working to get around other people's or companies patents. Not my kind of engineer for sure, the ones who actually do original designs like the engineers I have worked with most of my professional life, REALLY intelligent folks but of course all the trolls can say is how much I lie, I could never have actually done the things I said I did or been to the places I said I worked at.
How could one person actually do all those things, must be going through their minds.
Tough shyte, I don't lie about that stuff, the only thing wrong with what I said was actually saying them in the first place.
They just brand me a braggart when I was just stating facts. I can PM what I said if you wish, I don't want to bring all that crap up here again.
I never claimed to be some kind of genius, I am a technician, a gifted one but that is all I claimed but I guess that makes me a braggart. Tough shtye for the trolls like hand and the Freak.
