[va-bird] Re: Menacing Phone Message from a Hunter

Connie -- this is one birder & hunter on the list who is saddened that you received such a phone call. as cell phone numbers are not generally listed, finding the cell phone for most of us requires some element of connection. that might provide some lead as to the culprit. I must also note that the message you received was less scurrilous than some of the others generated by that discussion. and before becoming too alarmed about a possible "organized harassment campaign" we might see if there is more than one instance of such communications with you. while I have not experienced what I would consider a campaign, organized or otherwise, I have to say there are some among us lacking either grace or perspective, but full of strongly held beliefs which they were willing to share with me.

Birder Friends -- I have received a menacing phone message on my cell phone. The message, from a male caller, said "Hi, Connie. You're a bird watcher. Well you've shown just how dirty you are on Sunday hunting. Hopefully we can expose you for what you are. Have a nice day. Bye." I assume that this came as a result of my postings to the listserv regarding the Virginia legislation. I am writing this to warn other birders and to learn if others are being menaced as well. If there is an organized harassment campaign underway, it may be unlawful or dangerous and we should keep each other informed. ----connie campanella
