Several weeks ago, when I posted the Hired Hand Mentality, it made quite a number of readers feel very uncomfortable.
There were some readers like Bathsarah and Geri who were genuinely concerned and their godly counsel has resulted in me releasing forgiveness to the one that wronged me. I thank you, dear sisters.
Yet there were others who behaved like Job's friends, passing judgement under the guise of concern.
Since I was the subject of investigations, I decided to do some investigations of my own, and discovered that it likely to be a single reader who posted under the guise of different handles to give people the impresssion of numerosity.
I have Sitemeter installed on my blog. Besides tracking the number of hits, it also tracks, inter alia, the IP address, operating system and browser of visitors.
It was rather coincidental that the person/(s) who behaved like Job's friends all shared IP addresses that were issued by a Singnet DNS (116.14.xxx.xxx). What was even more telling is that the person/(s) was using a computer running MacOS and using a Firefox browser. What are the odds ;-)
On the advice of Bathsarah and others, I have now disallowed anonymous Blogger comments, but continue to allow anonymous comments to be made on the cbox tagboard. This is to allow that reader/(s) to ventilate and use cbox as his playground of indulgence.
Here are some recent potshots that were posted. Note again the similarity in the IP address, even though 3 different handles are being used...

Dear anonymous reader. Please drop me an email at mloh77@starhub.net.sg. Whatever differences we may have, we are going to meet in heaven some day. Why not I take you out to lunch where we can have a mature discussion and learn to agree to disagree? God bless you, dear brother.

I think it is good of you to offer to meet up with Anon.
Sometimes it is easier to resolve conflicts in person, than through the cyberspace.
May God's grace reign in this situation and may all things that are meant to harm, bear good fruit instead. Amen?
I have an inkling who he might be.
Let's see if he is sincere in wanting a reconciliation...
