HOBOKEN —This past weekend’s Reporter featured an article about how someone posted the private cellphone number on Craigslist of Kurt Gardiner, who runs a personal blog called the Hoboken Journal. Gardiner’s phone rang more than 150 times and he eventually filed a police report.
Just to follow up, Gardiner posted additional information on his blog this weekend:
This weekend’s Hoboken Reporter featured a story on the incident that occured two weeks ago when someone got a hold of my cell phone number and repeatedly spammed my phone using Craigslist. The article is on pages 5 and 10 in the printed version of the paper. This incident was unsettling to me that someone would take it to the next level like that. The person who did it has since confessed and apologized so I decided it was time to move forward. I at not tiime signed an actual crimninal complaint and just filed an initial report with the local police.
The Hoboken Reporter got the story basically accurate but here are my comments to further clarify …3) There was a rape threat made towards poster Katie_Scarlett on my site which I promptly deleted and shared with her. The ‘Craigslist Spammer’ has not admitted to writing this post so the originator of that post is still not confirmed.
