[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had someone follow me around on here a few years ago, commenting endlessly on my "turn of phrase"

it was really creepy[/quote]

I have a DCUM stalker, too. It really is a messed-up feeling, knowing someone's got nothing better to do with their day than try to figure out what I post on the anon board. I just say the sick man's prayer for them and hope they have a happier life someday. Creeps. [/quote]

Omg how does someone stalk you on DCUM?? Like off line? [/quote]

You would be surprised at what mentally-ill obsessives get up to, especially when they think they won't/can't get caught. There are a lot of people who know what's right and what's not, and will look for any available loophole (like an allegedly-anonymous message board) to continue their antagonizing behavior(s). That's what makes it creepy: knowing someone that unstable is that addicted to maintaining a connection, however thin.

I can’t compute. Like what? Do they try to find out your name? Where you live? [/quote]

I have a neighbor I had to threaten with a restraining order because she apparently wasn't raised well enough to understand basic boundaries for herself, and lashed out at me when I had to stop my day to explain things like property lines. She knows a bit about my life (number of kids and their approx. ages, car I drive, color of our dog, etc.). Since she can't talk to me in person, she tries to lurk here and accuses several posters with similar details of being me. It's telling because of the way she talks, how often she posts, etc. I don't post "I know who you are" on her comments, but since she has written to me somewhat extensively, it's not hard to match tone and language. She fits the "shut in" stereotype; we rarely see her leaving her home, and she doesn't seem to have friends or family who ever visit. I think her best friend is the bottle... I doubt she's ever going to actually do anything in real life, and she seems to understand she'd be extremely foolish to try, but it's unnerving to have someone be so obsessed with my life that trolling me on an anon board seems like a fun use of time to them. I think I'll take PP upthread's advice and just try to wish her well (and well away from me and my family!)[/quote]
