Yeah, but you brought it up. "I know but I can't reveal it". I bet, whatever it is, it's something you were told was done, not necessarily what happened.

Uh huh, but using it to threaten or intimidate is illegal, and posting it in a setting that's hostile or harassing is, too.

I thought you had a forum. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. I didnt post my name and I certainly didnt post 10-year-old divorce documents. Walter said he had gotten my name months ago and I dont know where he got it but it wasnt from me. I specifically asked him not to reveal it when I learned he knew my name. Nevertheless, he posted it publicly at RWV.
Yes, my picture was part of a flickr site and if someone knew my name I guess they could have gotten to the site. Bottom line--irrespective of where someone obtains information, it is how the information is used that is the issue. When used to harass or torment or threaten or intimidate someone, as it was in my case--there's a big problem if you know what I mean. |
ZZzzZzzzzZzzzz what an attention seeking Whiner you are.
You obviously LOVE this attention. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here. Period. So get over it and STFU. |
You appear to think you're the official Refugees bouncer. Interesting. It sounds close to the rule about shadowing someone for the sole reason of insulting or harassing them. YMMV. Don't you have enough to do trying to chase off Ariana and Jenny?

Yeah sure. Let's call the FBI and tell them what's going on. The first thing they'll tell you is to get all personal information off the internet and to not post on any message boards.
I see vivi is still here so the stalking can't have been as serious as having to contact authorities, otherwise I'm sure she'd heed their warning.

You have no clue. Yes, there was a stalking incident and the FBI was certainly involved as was DOJ. Several people know this, and several people were involved with authorities besides me.

Very cute 
This is a message board and I have every right to post to anyone I chose. If you don't like it either scroll on by posts or report me.
Btw - I have no problems with Ariana. As a matter of fact, I have a great deal of respect for her. She's not a whiner or a liar. I just didn't think she'd make a good mod. So you can leave her out of this. TYVM

Yet you continue to post.
If this stalker is serious aren't you concerned for your family? Your children? Is this case more important than them?
Incredible.

Oh please - she's just another attention seeker. Shes been going on and on about this on this board and RWV for days now. It's beyond absurd and needs to stop.

Of course not. Like I said, you dont know what you're talking about. This is not something that's going on now or very recently. And there's a lot more to it than whatever it is you're imagining. Of course I follow suggestions of authorities. Now, shoo!

Good luck with you being stalked.

From "Whoa" (working to Hault Online Abuse)
Select a gender-neutral username, email address, etc. Avoid anything cute, sexual, diminutive, or overtly feminine.
Keep your primary email address private. Use your primary email address ONLY for people you know and trust.
Get a free email account and use that for all your other online activity. Make sure you select a gender-neutral username that is nothing like anything you've had before. There are many, many free email providers, such as Hotmail, Juno, Yahoo! and Hushmail. We suggest that you do a search using your favorite search engine and choose the email provider that best suits your own needs.
Don't give out information simply because it is requested. Countless web sites ask you to give them your full name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address, etc. when you might just want to search their catalogs or read messages on a discussion forum. Give as little information as possible, and if they insist on information that doesn't seem justified, leave to go elsewhere. Some people give false information at such sites, especially if they don't plan to return in the future. Be especially cautious of "profiles" and "directory listings" for instant messaging programs or web sites.
Block or ignore unwanted users. Whether you are in a chat room or using IM, you should always check out what options/preferences are available to you and take advantage of the "Block all users except those on my buddy list" or adding unwanted usernames to an Ignore list in chat. If anyone bothers you and won't go away, put them on block or ignore!
Don't allow others to draw you into conflict. That may mean that you don't defend yourself from personal attacks. It's safer to ignore them and keep yourself above the fray. When you respond to a harasser in any way, you're letting him know that he has succeeded. No matter how hard it is to do, do not interact with a harasser. When he realizes that he isn't getting a reaction from you, in most cases he'll move on to find an easier target.
Lurk in a new forum to learn local customs. Read mailing list or discussion board postings for a week or more without responding or posting anything yourself. In chat rooms, just sit quietly for 10-30 minutes to see if the discussions that are going on are truly something in which you wish to engage. Don't respond to private messages in that time, either.
If a place becomes stressful, leave it. There are many stressors we cannot avoid easily in our lives, so why put up with those we can avoid? If someone is being asinine in a chat room or on a discussion board, there are countless others that are likely to be more pleasant. If another visitor to a chat room or forum is harassing you and the forum owner/moderator refuses to take decisive action, why would you want to be there? Don't allow yourself to get tied up in battles over territory.
When you change, really change! If you need to change your username or email address to break off contact with a harasser, using a variation on your real name or anything you've used in the past leaves tracks allowing the harasser to find you again fairly easily. If you've always been "Kitty" and you change your handle to "Cat," you haven't really changed. The harasser knows that you have particular hobbies or interests. For instance, perhaps you like to play Scrabble. If he's really obsessed or simply has too much time on his hands, he's likely to poke around in different Scrabble-related fora looking for feline names to see if he can find you again.
Watch what you "say" online. When you do participate online, be careful--only type what you would say to someone's face. If you wouldn't say it to a stranger standing next to you in an elevator, why in the world would you "say" it online?
Know what's in your signature file. Don't put your company name, title, email address, address, phone/fax number, etc. there unless your employer requires that you do so. If you must provide that information, restrict use of that email account to business interactions with co-workers and customers. Do not ever use it to participate in any public forum (mailing list, newsgroup, web-based discussion board, etc.).
Never use a business account for personal use. Simply leaving messages on a discussion board will reveal your IP address to others. That information can easily lead to a stalker knowing where you work and finding you offline. Restrict personal internet use to home and public access computers.
Ego Surf. Put your first name and last name in quotes in a search engine such as Yahoo!, Google or Dogpile and see if there are any results regarding you. You just might be surprised at what you find. Also put in the names of your spouse, loved ones and/or children. Remember to put their names in quotes to refine the search results. Better yet, use TracerLock or a similar service to do it for you on a regular basis.

Yes Woe, that's a great thing to post to remind us that No, we don't really know who we are communicating with online. We tend to forget that sometimes, especially if we seems to connect with someone. We share our pics, our name, where we live and what we do for a living, because we think we can trust them, when in reality we can't. We have no idea who is on the other side and what they may do with that information should the so-called friendship go sour. Then they share your confidences with others, send them your pic and god knows what else. It's a great reminder that no matter how much you think you may know someone, you should always keep your guard up... as many on here are not who they seem.
Thanks for reminding me of that and I am sure there are many other women, men as well that need that reminder as well.
I know I have learned my lesson.

It's quite simple really...if you wouldnt let your kids say it...dont say it.
Would anyone here be comfortable knowing their kids were sending complete strangers their photos?
Would anyone allow their kids to tell their real name and location?
I would hope the answer would be no. And I would hope we are smarter than our kids.

I personally would prefer not to see all this hypcorisy about posting personal information when the same people bitching have received tons of personal information on other posters right here on this board. To boot the RWV archives with all the personal information is here and available for anyone to see. How is it only a problem if it is YOUR information but its perfectly OK to receive information on other posters?

I agree 26, people are sharing others personal info and pics in PMs and emails all day long, but that's perfectly okay I guess. To me that's just as bad as posting it here, but I would just say : CONSIDER THE SOURCE

Just some words of wisdom or advice...
Be assured if someone is talking about others to you... they are talking about you to others.

You might want to
A) read on
B) check with your FBI suggestions about stalking on the internet.
Not that I expect you to.

I have. The FBI has suggestions about how to prevent stalking. Here's one about when it happens:
"If there is any indication that a cyberstalker/harasser knows where the victim lives, works or how to find them offline, law enforcement must be contacted IMMEDIATELY to begin an active investigation into the circumstances of the situation."
There are also interesting descriptions available, such as:
"Cyberstalkers/harassers frequently follow their victims into chat rooms and onto discussion boards, posting lies and hateful messages, or passing misinformation about the victim. They may create sexually explicit images, using the head of their victims attached to the bodies of porn actors."
and about certain primitive attitudes toward cyberharassment:
"Getting people and law enforcement to take online stalking seriously is often difficult. Thank goodness in recent years the attention the press has given to this new age phenomenon has helped to improve that situation.
Many times when you report online stalking to the authorities you're told, "Well stop using the Internet" or just "turn off your computer". If you were receiving obscene telephone calls would they tell you to stop using your telephone? Of course not. Many people make their living with the Internet and to be told to just stop using it is unacceptable."
I believe the last part quoted is similar to your suggestions. Even staunch liberals such as myself don't give in to terrorists.

No but I would and have changed my telephone number to an unlisted one.
