DC Comics: Huntress Origins
So. DC have announced a new comic, and Helena Wayne is coming back, huh?
( Helena Wayne, Helena Bertinelli: Didn't realise how much difference an origin made. )

Basically, the reason I screen anon comments is someone I know IRL but who I didn't want to be in contact with, and hadn't been in contact with for a very long time, found my LJ (and various other online IDs over the years) and started trying to talk to me while hiding his identity. This freaked me out and pissed me off because it's lacking in basic courtesy. Hence I turned on IP logging and anon screening. But I don't like to be a paranoid person so I don't generally check that shit unless I have a reason to be suspicious and your first comment was obviously not from a local IP.
But your later comments are from a different IP and one I thought I recognised as potentially local from the first batch of digits.
Sure enough, after doing some digging, your first post is from a Swiss VPN network that specialises in online anonymity and your next two comments are from an IP in the city where I live.
There are reasons why someone might be using an anonymising service, particularly given you mention torrents in your comment. There are other reasons you could be living in the same city not limited to coincidence and the fact I'm not super careful about hiding my broad location. You could even be someone else I know from real life who is not the specific person I am referencing (although in that case, again, it would be common courtesy to introduce yourself and kinda creepy not to).
But I gotta be honest, combined with your topics of interest, your discussion style and spelling errors, I'm thinking you are probably a dude with a history of inappropriately looking me up online under this and other handles despite me asking you not to do that and to leave me alone. For the purposes of identification without outing your actual name to everyone who is reading this, I'm referring to the person who sent an actual package of stuff to my parents' house a year or so ago because he still had my address from like...a decade ago.
So straight-up, I'm not sure what to do about this given I don't think you're going to admit who you are if you're who I think you are.
I think the best I can do is apologise to all the people who might want to anon comment in a noncreepy fashion on my LJ, including you, if you are one of those people. Seriously, if you're not who I think you are, I'm sorry. But if that is who you are, YET AGAIN, you are making me extremely uncomfortable. Stop it.
However, given I don't think you'd admit to it if you were, it's probably best to close this conversation.
