Contact

Belief: highly likely

Below are some ways to contact me (Issa Rice), as well as the account names¹ I use on various websites. Feel free to connect with me through any of the means below. I am most responsive via email and Facebook (I may not check other sites very often). I try to respond to everyone who contacts me, but for various reasons I might not; feel free to ping me if I don’t respond.² You can also stalk me online (e.g. by following me on Quora or Facebook or by reading what I have on this website). I also don’t mind if you ask questions about me on Quora, though recently Quora has gotten stricter about what sorts of personal questions are allowed³.

---

1. I usually use “riceissa” on most sites. This is somewhat of a historical accident: when I tried signing up for my Gmail account, “issarice” was already taken, so I picked “riceissa” instead. Since then, I’ve sort of standardized on “riceissa” for most services, although I also use “issarice”.↩

2. Also see I emailed my customer asking multiple questions. Their reply addressed only one. What is the polite way to point this out?; i.e. I will try to respond to every question or point, but sometimes I might not (for whatever reason). If you really want an answer, feel free to re-ask the question/restate the point.↩

3. In general, you should be fine as long as you follow Quora’s “Be Nice, Be Respectful” policy; it matters less whether the person about whom the question is asked is fine with it.↩
