Yeah, I suppose you do deserve an explanation. It's just that about a year? (maybe two) ago, I started a correspondence with an older gentleman such as yourself, and it was really great at first, we had a lot to talk about and he was gaining my trust when suddenly he started asking me for my address randomly so he could send me things, and I said I wasn't sure I wanted to give it to him yet, and so then he started acting really strange--guilt tripping me and scolding me and it turned into threats, and I got really scared and my ONLY comfort in the whole thing was that he didn't have much way of finding me.
So when you first contacted me, and I wasn't sure of your motives, it was really jarring that you first off know what I look and sound like (from Youtube), and that you probably have a good idea where I am and how to find me from reading my journal. So when you seemed to take such a pronounced interest and have all these myriad ways of contacting me without my even knowing, it reminded me of the previous incident and I freaked out. Thanks for taking it in stride, I hope the situation makes more sense in that light. :)
