Alex, my empathy too. As one of Helen's links last year noted, these sickies often persist for ten years or so. Follow your instincts, don't try to understand it all. And be careful in the 3D world. Document events but don't let it control your life. There are legal protections, but usually it never comes to that, besides, I found that most stalkers don't have the intelligence or the "connections" to really carry out their threats. Unfortunately, they just shift their attentions to someone else when they get bored with you.

Hadn't noticed Alex but I don't read that many threads and have no reason not to believe you. I was witness to some of what John P reffered to and I appreciate the awkward if not impossible situation the vicitm is in.

It's not a lot but you have both my support (not that there's anything I can do on a practical level) and sympathy.

Alex,
As someone who spent years being cyberstalked, I can sympathize with you. It's no fun to be constantly accused of untrue things -- there is always the question of whether to engage and feed the asshole's vanity or stay silent and let the lie go unchallenged. This is the real power of the cyberstalker. You are, in some ways, damned it you do and damned if you don't. Fortunately, people like this quickly demonstrate to everyone what jerks they are, so folks stop taking them seriously about anything. But with enough perserverance they can eventually insert their untruths into the collective unconscious, so they need to get publicly swatted down from time to time.

I hope to see you next week.

John

As many of you know, somebody has been cyberstalking me since at least April, popping up in threads where I post and calling me a racist, mostly.

For reasons I won't go into, I'm going to say it's a "her".

I've written her a couple of songs. If you can't beat 'em, mock 'em.

Hit and Run
by Alex Riggle

Chorus
Hit and run, hit and run
It's a bloody lot of fun
No accountability
Cos that's such a drag for me
There's no reason, there's no rhyme
When I'm acting like a slime
I'm just a troll who finds it fun
To hit and run, hit and run

My momma done told me when I was just little,
"Son stand by your words, a coward don't be.
"If you disagree with any one person,
"Discuss it with courage." But I said, "Aw, gee,...

Repeat Chorus

Responsible discussion's too bloody much work
Much easier to stuff my head up my bum
And blindly attack those I disagree with
It's a coward's way out, but it's easy and fun

Repeat Chorus

Disagree with a black and I'll call you a "racist."
And an "anti-Semite" if you disagree with a Jew.
If a man disagrees with a woman, he's "sexist."
It's a bunch of baloney, but so easy to do!

Repeat Chorus

Cyberstalker
tune: Moonshadow

I'm being harassed by a cyberstalker
cyb- cyb- cyberstalker
But I'm not embarassed by my cyberstalker
cyb- cyb- cyberstalker

Cos if I ever have my doubts
That someone cares that I'm about
Yeah if I ever have my doubts
Away-hey hey, yay-hey-hey
My cyberstalker removes all doubts

Did it take long to find me
I ask my faithful shadow
Did it take long to find me
And are you gonna make me sad? O!

I'm being harassed by a cyberstalker (etc.)

Don't Let Me Down
Tune: Don't Let Me Down (Beatles)

Don't Let Me Down(4x)

I'm being stalked for the first time
Don't know how long it will last
It's a second-rate endeavor
It's an act that has no class

More to come, as necessary.

Thanks, stalker! Now I know that somebody out there cares that I'm here!
