He must've stalked his comment history. At one point he says:

> South Texas (Rio Grande Valley)

Yes, wondering how he knew that confused me enough to pull up his comment history.

But to be fair, I don't think everyone reacts as negatively to this type of criticism as you do. At least, I don't immediately think of it as moralizing and unnecessary. If I was in the situation of the OP, having someone reply harshly would probably inspire me to get things together. But then again, I'm not sure most people are this way.

No need to "stalk" anything, said comment is on this very page.

Point. I also tend to defend others more ferociously than I defend myself. I've been taken farther into the public than I'd prefer and I don't feel a need to hide that I've made bad decisions (mostly, a few terrible picks regarding companies) in the past.
