Dude,

You set up a website with no purpose other than to bother another  
person. If you don't think that's wrong, you need help. I don't care  
what excuss you think you have. You're wrong and the fact that you  
implicate God in your sin -- you pretend it is justified "because God  
sanctions it" -- only makes the sin a mortal one.

You are in trouble. Get a grip.

I pray for your soul, dear brother!
