The blog I ran around 2003 was much more popular than this one. I made more effort to market it, and I got linked by several A-list bloggers frequently so I had thousands of hits a day and hundreds of commenters.

Only one notable (for lack of a better word) troll/stalker type. Think he hated my politics. He’d gone on some ranting tangent one time about reporting my blog to my boss to “get me fired” and that he knew where I worked and provided some evidence of that.

Since he seemed to leave a valid email address in his comments, I composed and sent a response to that email address, CCed my boss and said, “Hey [Boss], you going to fire me today for this appalling blog? Or should we just have lunch and laugh at the troll?”

My boss read my blog daily and had for several years. She replied that we’d have lunch and that she always enjoyed hunting trolls.

Never heard from that particular commenter again.
