I want to investigate a suspicious comment.

    I received an odd comment on a recent post and noticed that the traffic was coming from Brazil and Germany. It wasn’t offensive, but it feels unsettling and I looked up the IP address and it was in Russian. I’d like to find out more about the commenter or block them from my site if possible. Here’s the comment from my post: “Sex and Death Down Under,” which I realize is a provocative headline. Any light you can shed would be appreciated.

    thanks,
    Stephanie Pearson

    Experience.

    It does not contain anything relating directly to your content, it’s vaguely flattering in hopes you won’t delete it, and it comes from Russia.
