promise5 17 #1 June 11, 2014 Anyone else deal with a person acting stalkerish online? I think I've asked this before. It's beyond creepy. I really don't know how to deal with it. They basically just kinda stalk me in forums, threads,etc. ok I'll admit I was pretty trusting and if someone ask me my username on a site I would tell them. No biggie I thought until this person started showing up in all of them making comments and then wanting me to know it was them. I was so thankful when it stopped the last time but Ugh, the person is back. I feel like saying "get a life" but last time I responded they seemed to become more and more obsessed.No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.

Peer pressure from friends can have a very positive effect on most maroons like that. What works for me is just to confront them.. usually most intelligent people realize there are easier targets out there and they move along like nice little scumbags.

Arvoitus 1 #3 June 11, 2014 I probably wouldn't even notice it as I don't take Internet seriously enough to care. But if it did happen I'd feel pleased that I've managed to piss someone off so badly they need to resort something as pointless as stalking me online.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

nigel99 143 #4 June 11, 2014 Firstly you ladies need to take things really carefully online. I worked in a company where one of the guys started stalking a female member of staff and it was hell for her, very scary and ended up requiring police involvement. I can't remember where I read it, but most stalkers lose interest if their target isn't active. Remembering that ANY communication can be misconstrued, I know it affects your life but perhaps taking a break from posting for a while will allow (him?) to move on to other people. Another option could be to try and ignore their posts completely, just treating it as noise. Provided you aren't in physical danger or posting stuff that links back to your 'real' life.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

normiss 622 #8 June 11, 2014 We HAD a female employee here that filed a sexual harassment complaint against 10 of her coworkers for giving her compliments. One said she "looked pretty" and another had told her "nice dress". She was trying to use it as a defense to her husband after being caught cheating. "I was so stressed due to the harassment at work!" yea....she no longer works here. Humans sure can be crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 0 #9 June 11, 2014 Quote We HAD a female employee here that filed a sexual harassment complaint against 10 of her coworkers for giving her compliments. One said she "looked pretty" and another had told her "nice dress". Like it or not, ridiculous or not, there's a lesson in that: Just don't do that at work. Ever. Period. Anything other than that is less safe. Quote Humans sure can be crazy. I invite you to slightly edit that. If you dare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 622 #10 June 11, 2014 can sure. It's sad that what was intended as a compliment would put someone's job at risk. Nice dress is not the same as nice tits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #15 June 11, 2014 promise5 I would never think compliments were harassment. The woman had issues. Most people in this world are cool. But there's just enough men and women with issues to cause trouble for the rest of us from time to time. With guys, yeah, nature favors the dude that doesn't give up easily. It's just some guys can't figure out they don't have a chance with one woman or another, and they think doubling down will fix it. Not to mention the "creepy" factor of it all. I hear guys saying "Why are all good lucking women so unfriendly?" I tell them "Because if they smile at you even a little, you go bugging them, thinking you have a 'chance'".
