One of the reasons I do not use Google Analytics on this blog is simply because I don’t need the bells and whistles. I am more interested in knowing who (of my friends) were on my blog, and have no requirements to do further analysis.
After looking at quite a few simple you-are-visitor-number-X counters, I kind of liked StatCounter for its professional look and features. It was nowhere close to Google Analytics by the way. However, StatCounter offered the one thing I wanted: IP Address. (And later I realized I could have gone with GA. I had no real use for the raw IP Addresses)
And here we have the information on the abusive comment made last week:

It was a friend. And I do agree we sometimes do things just for fun, especially when we think no one is watching 😊.

Great detective work DRK!!

How can you say for sure? IP locations are not accurate all the time.

I had sent him a Blogspot link with my tracking code. The screenshot is about that page. The IP Addresses matched.
Long story short, I pinged him yesterday about this; and it was great to catch up after so many years!
