Let's figure out how to reach this guy and show him some compassion.

You dissed his chips, it's serious snack business.

Jackie Robinson: "Mr. Rickey, are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?"
Branch Rickey: "Robinson, I'm looking for a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back."

This gist has the full headers and text of the email thread that this is from, if it helps identify the sender:

Though of course, he's clearly purporting to be Edward Davis of Saint Simons Island, Georgia. I haven't found any public web identities that tie this email address to that person, but I'd still like to reach out to him and see if he's alright. This much rage can't be about an advertisement for a snack food.

Wow. Handled with great empathy and grace, as usual. well done.

@anildash Simple traceroute gives me this:

te-1-0-0-ten01.stsimons.ga.jacksvil.comcast.net

Looks like he's actually from there, although I cannot find any info on anyone named Edward Davis from there.

(912) 554-7000 that's the tax collector's office for Glynn Co, ga property Tax Commissioner. Maybe they could provide info on him.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PHOTOSHOP SOME INTERRACIAL "LOVE" SCENES ON THE FRONT LAWN HERE?

what vidiot said

I'm going to put a comment here because I want to see how this ends.

I honestly and completely love the respond-with-grace-and-style approach. I'm TERRIBLE at it, but I love it.

my guess? your calm, compassionate response sent him into a fit of object-throwing rage

Wow. This is just horrible. I want to say it's "unbelievable" but, well, sadly I can believe it.

holy shit.

sorry you have to deal with this.

This "Noles Fan" makes me ashamed of my fellow Florida State University alums.

I feel weird about "liking" this so I'll just say: I approve of your response.

I was about to say, this is the first Mlkshk post I have seen that says "Racism is here to stay" and has this many likes. All my "racism is here to stay" pics got like 25 likes, tops.

WHAT?! I was born on SSI, tiny little island in south georgia. Sad that someone such as this lives there, but it's the south...I expect nothing less.

btw I am not sure why people are trying to track him down, can't honestly see what good will come. I feel like 90% sure this guy just sits and writes these emails all day to anyone he can find who seems like a viable target.

the "good" will be mild harassment and a bombardment of interracial porn, at the most.

@matthewdgold I'd be interested to see what happens if Anil is able to engage this guy. Other than that, I don't see what "good" harassment is. And sending him interracial porn is probably just cutting out the middleman for this guy. Just like fundie pastors and GOP congressmen are all closet cases, this guy is probably secretly into miscegenation videos.

@bn2b you know why people didn't get more likes? Racism.

@cityofprogress yeah, I'm not at all trying to harass this guy. I think it would do both him and I good to have an actual conversation.

I'm not sure that the person who sent that email will eant to communicate with anyone except people he knows.

omg

I'll bet this guy will feel really bad if you, A, and M all do decide to eat some shit and then choke and die. That'd show him.

perhaps your executors should respond with a mournful message that you had passed away while choking on excrement, and what else should they do now?
