Wow. That's absolutely horrible. It sounds like something one might hear about in Pakistan or Egypt or Yemen. I'm very sorry you received that.

If the person who wrote that to you is reading this, please consider that violence and threats to violence are contrary both to reason and faith. That was a significant part of Pope Benedict's speech at Regensburg recently, which you can read about here. I hope and pray you will repent and apologize. Jesus told Peter to put away his sword. Let us never take it up again in the name of religion.

Um, I think I might have over-reacted. I was thinking maybe once, just once, I could see just what use I could really make of all these vowels in my name. :)

Anyway, here's the first part of his profile page, which had I read in total, and according to the FBI, would definitely have been a clue:

My screenname is in honor of my hero the first Earl of Strafford. This was a man that knew how to keep heretics in line. I believe the tactics used by the Earl to keep the subjects loyal to the honorable Archbishop Laud should be reinstated in the Churches today. I believe in diversity of religious opinions and the free will of all men. I like Catholics, Orthodox, Free will Baptists, Methodists, Wesleyians, non-denominational seeker sensitives, tounges-babbling Pentecostalists and Charismatics and other Spiritists, Open Theists including Process and Post-Modern types, self-professed new age psuedo-scientism prophetess', poor-humored sensitive attornies of all stripes, and emotive males who's wives wear the pants in their families.

Now, I think I'm in love. /kidding
