No, I don't. I find it quite scary that if say, I posted a pretty off
colour joke about a jew, two polish guys and an african american (not that I
would) I could wind up with the FBI on my doorstep because someone was
offended and knew someone.
What's to stop someone who doesn't like the music their neighbour down the
street plays - or that he sits on the porch reading XXXXX rated magazines
and then ogling girls/guys that walk past - reporting him to a friend who
works for the FBI/CIA/ABC and that "friend" turning up on their doorstep.
Sometimes I feel that people take things way too far. Whilst I see this
group as an extended family, it really is just a bunch of people spread all
over the world with lots of other people we don't know about listening in.
Some of the details that people give have made it easy for trolls to turn
into real life stalkers. But the majority of trolls just couldn't be
bothered and if you ignore them and dont go OTT like some of the reactions
here, they'd go away.

Sharon, I wasn't taking the twerp seriously ... not until I found out that
two people who used to be here were actually stalked in RL by a nutjob
troll
that wandered in.
Besides, I think it's kinda funny to know that a few years from now, when
that putz tries to get a job or secure a loan, that somewhere in his
records
will be a note that he was (even if only a rudimentary) investigated by
the
FBI! And to know that he's put on a long list of "possibles" for sexual
crimes for his scatology! :)
Now, really, you don't find that the least bit funny? Maybe I'm a tad bit
on
the warped side myself ... he came in here hoping to shock the
stereotypical
"little ol' ladies" and he's going to end up shocked himself - and I find
that ironic AND funny!! :)
*goes back to "normal" bidness of piecing about 50 more QSTs - YUCK!!*
Hugs!!

And to think.....if people had not opened the link, had not reacted asthey

No offence but to me this sounds like an overreaction.just

Oh come on, give me a break ... I talked to my mom this afternoon and
she's
going to call her buddy in the morning!!
And besides, chances are, no one will show up at his door ... they'll
"minor"talk to his family, friends and boss! And check his credit, and start a
jacket on him (which they do, even if no charges are ever filed). :)
That's w-a-a-a-a-a-y more fun!! :)
For the record, they do take this sort of thing more seriously than
they
used to ... too many times, sexual offenders have begun their "careers"
with
scatology and cyber stalking. Most serial sex offenders start out
thiswith scatology (though usually over the phone or via mail - but, hey!
actuallyis a new age, right?!) and escalate over time. A friend of my mom's did
his
thesis for his PhD (and published papers that the FBI's BAU uses to
this
day) on the subject. If you can stand the subject matter, it was
it,a
very interesting read (my mom proofread it for him - and I got to read
buttoo - at the time, I was thinking of following in my mom's footsteps. I
already had a slot waiting for me at the FBI academy, but followed in
Dad's
footsteps instead - less chance of bullet wounds involved - and graphic
artists don't usually have to deal with horrible crime scene photos,
either).
Anywho ....

Thank you for stopping.

Okay, Butterfly ... THAT I didn't know. I still think it's a twit,
twerpI
respect ya'll too much to worry you or to continue to provoke the
incidentsin
thequestion.
I *most* respectfully cease and desist.
FTR, if anyone's interested and thinks this should go a bit higher
on
complaint scale, my mom's ex-FBI. I can almost guarantee you that
the
weirdo
in question would have two armed men in dark suits at his door
within
24
hours.
Hugs to you!!

This is more serious than you think. We have had 2 separate
justfrom
Trolls on here that WERE STALKERS. Neither of those gals (victims)
post
on
here anymore. One received life threats and had to get more than
trollthe
local authorities in on it. AFAIK both Stalkers were apprehended.fan
One was NOT in the US.
It was NOT something that anyone should go thru.
Jeanne knows of that which she writes.

Now, now, now, Jeanne ... I think I might rather like having a
little
like our dear troll (actually, I don't think it qualifies as a
rudimentary...
trolls are usually more ... clever and have some sort of
overstruckbrain
stem).
I've never had a little stalker before ... clearly, I must have
a
nerve with the twit. How much longer before the moron's driven
the
you'reedge
and takes a last long leap off a tall building, do you think??
Any takers on bets? :)
Now, you go and take care of your poor hubby ... and yourself.
And
don't
you
worry about our resident idiot - I'll take good care of it while
gone! ;)
Hugs!!

just popped in for a sec, got lots of calls to make bout
dh's injury.
seems we've not got this disgusting troll who posts
his/her/its 'tinyurl' using various regular rctq peoples
names in the 'from' column.
this is clearly a feeble attempt at Identity theft.
some of us know all too well how this type of creature
works. nasty nasty nasty
some are new here and havent a clue that this type of
creature even exists in the world let alone being here in
our special place in usenet.
each time it is posting thru google with the 'tiny url'
which doesnt tell us the home name on the website so we've
no clue it is nasty.
i've got other worrys at the moment but i dont need this
crapola going on here too.
this is my special place in the world and i want it safe.
if everyone who has a clue how could email google and advise
them just what is going on.
this has to be stopped.
for those who dont know, for the time being, DO NOT CLICK ON
ANY TINY URL LINKS. not a single one of them.
the rest of us, for the time being, only post links that
clearly show the name of the website so we know it is safe,
well as safe as it can be anyhow.
back to making some phone calls this morning before dh gets
up and tells me otherwise.
jeanne
