Bless your heart Cherry....

As an older brother, I do understand the desire to protect one's little sis, but I don't think this is right of him at all...it's a disgusting violation of your personal privacy. I understand it must be difficult knowledge for him to know you are/where active (not so much that you did anything necessarily wrong, per se...I do think you're a little young, for sure, but it doesn't make you "tainted" or anything...I'll get back to this), as it's to him quite like a parent seeing a child grow, but this isn't his right.

Do you know the age of consent in your state? Whether or not you were "with" Gordon so to speak, it might set his mind ease knowing the threat is baseless, provided you are indeed of age.

As far as your "history" goes, you are a little young, and depending on when your relationship earlier happened, that exacerbates it a little. It does carry a lot of risks, of course, and I think his activities, though misguided, does mean he cares. While I trust that is hollow comfort, it is something to consider. Try to think if it were your daughter and you knew what he knows. I'm not advocating what he did, nor am I trying to suggest to you that sex is some evil wretched act. I'm simply saying it has potential to be risky, and I'm trying to bring his perspective into an understandable light for you.

If you'd like, feel free to shoot me a PM. I'm decent with a computer (former signals officer for my JROTC battalion, well before I was Battalion Commander), and I'm pretty well versed in basic cyber security. I figure the most advanced thing he could have done to get into your account would be keylog software, which is easily scrubbed and safeguarded against. At the simplest, you either A) left your account up B) have "Remember Me" enabled or C) your password is too weak. All easily fixed.

You have every right in the world to be upset at your brother right now, but I do think he cares...I don't think what he did was RIGHT, but I do think he was trying to protect you. He simply overstepped his boundaries, I believe.

Regards,
Harley
