It's [a whole slew of words] that he took time out of his work day to find your personal email!!! I don't have that kind of time (I'm at the end of my lunch break here). That's A LOT of effort when he should have been working. And just to antagonize you!! It's sick.

This radicalized Zionism is pretty scary. Like any ideology taken to extreme, it's incredibly dangerous.

I have 2 daughters and a son… what I worry about with my daughters is men… what I worry about with regards to him is his actions.

That said, while I agree this guy’s behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable, I would have to say your email response and then posting it here wasn’t very professional either.

Are you in the right place, Jon? You seem lost.

To be clear, I wasn't looking for your or any man's judgment on this topic. The fact is, you're a tourist on this subject. Given your lack of control in scolding me, I suspect you and Matt are a lot alike.

You claim to worry about your daughters but not enough to believe in their agency to defend themselves against men who do them harm. My dad was not a perfect guy or a Navy SEAL, but he did prepare me for a world dominated by men and encourage me to stand up for myself. Otherwise he believed I'd become a punching bag for guys like you and Matt.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth, but don't worry. The women reading this know exactly who you are.

My apologies. After imagining this happening to my daughters, you are right and your response was totally valid. (And I realize you don’t need to be told this by me - but I wanted to acknowledge your response). I’m so sorry for saying otherwise. Please accept my apology and have a nice day.

Let's see... so a man trolls a woman's post, the woman deletes and blocks said man, this man continues to troll the woman now via email, the woman responds firmly and with just cause - but now another man (you) feels the need to share your opinion on how the woman responded... You sir are part of the problem. You could have, and should have, ended your comment after referring to the guy's behavior as unprofessional and unacceptable - but you just couldn't help yourself. Do better.
