It is against the law what he is doing..I would contact your local police department and give them the printed emails that he has been sending you. Slim chances that you would ever have to go to court on something like this. The local law enforcement may contact him and tell him that he is violating the law. They would also do a criminal history check on him to see if he has a violent history. In the mean time I would take precautions you never know what the wacko may do... But if you are put into a position to defend yourself you will have reported it. You still have the right to protect yourself in California

Right, which happens to be my isp

I plugged the Lat and long that the site gave into mapquest, and my house is nowhere near the marker on the map, but I believe the cable building is.
