Trolling or whatever name you want to call it.

Following the blog I wrote on 29.07.09, I will outline what I said.

You people who insist for whatever reason, to hound, stalk, troll whatever name you want to call it, another person, beware!!
Because of your relentless actions you drive that person into depression, sometimes worse!! it seems you pray on the ‘weak’, never the strong!! And we all know why that is, don’t we.

I have had an 18 month taste of this sort of behaviour, in the end I deleted the email addie I had for 9 years!! And took other measures making sure that the person could not carry on the vendetta he had against me, and all because I would not be his girlfriend, now that is just pathetic!!
Oh and let me tell you while this was going on, and he was happily thinking he was making my life a misery, I actually found out who the person was, yes through his own idiotic actions, I had his IP addie, then happily traced it to within a ½ mile of where he was, also because Yahoo, made mistakes as well, so when I had all the information I needed, and before I deleted everything to stop him doing this to me ever again, I sent him an email, this is what I said …

Thank you for being the dick you have been for the past 18 months, not only do I have everything I need to sue you, I can do the same if I wanted, but I am not wasting another second on you!!
But know this, because you involved Yahoo by trying to register MY email addie, and they made a huge mistake … I have now been compensated by Yahoo to the tune of thousands of pounds lol … thank you for the windfall, I am going out shopping now!!

Oh!! By the way, this is the last you will ever be able to see anything of me on the net, you are not clever enough to get anywhere near the info I was able to get on YOU!!
I am deleting everything that will enable you to carry on doing this….

Byeeeeeee Hahahah

I didn’t get compensation, you try getting anywhere with trying to even complain to Yahoo, they are just as responsible for what happened to me!! But he did not know that did he? Lol

There are many ways to find out who you are, if you make your mind up to ‘hound’ another like this, I proved that, I even had people I did not know helping me, as they was soo disgusted by the persons actions, I am still in touch with them, because they were soo nice to me.

when this happens to someone I know, I will go all out to help resolve the issue, if YOU are being ‘trolled’ by another person/s let someone know , even if its just for support, they may know someone who can help you, above all follow these steps, to ensure you have some sanity left in being able to deal with the situation.

1 ~ if its on a forum, through PM’s disable that option, that way they can only post on the forum for all to see, then make sure the admin know all about this, forward the PM’s to admin right away, so they know all they can about the situation.

2 ~ if they are trolling you on a forum, inform admin right away!1

3 ~ if it is by email, I am afraid you have to delete the address at once!! Make another email, and REALLY I mean this, give it to your most trusted friends ONLY!! Do not give you main email to just anyone you pass on the net, treat it like your home address, would you allow all and sundry know where you live??? If you did not know them?

4 ~ if they are using your ID on website’s especially ‘certain’ websites, I am talking porn sites here, send a message to the admin, inform them of what is happening, 99% are very helpful in this sort of situation. If the situation gets soo out of hand, inform the police, they have a special section for internet ID theft or whatever you want to call it now. This also goes for ‘groups’ as well on the net like Yahoo.

5 ~ for youngsters, there are sites that will help you, do a search for ‘internet bullying’ something similar to that, you will get a list of site’s in your country.

6 ~ on face book, go to your ‘privacy settings’ and make sure that NO ONE but your TRUSTED friends can be on your friends list, this also ensures that nobody can just search for you, and find you, then send messages. I use this option, it is easy to use, it is on your ‘wall’ page along the top part, to the right.

7 ~ most of all, there is no reason why you should have to put up with this sort of nasty behaviour from another person, as I said they have picked on you, because they have spotted a weakness they can use, as with this forum GaGa, the admin are lovely people, they will help you!! this is a close knit community here actually, as we all ‘travelled’ here from another place, do not think you are alone and that you have no real friends here .. YOU DO, this has been proved this week, make sure you are not vulnerable, we can help!! You will be amazed at how people will form a ‘ring’ around you to make sure you know you are not alone.

Using the internet should be a happy, informative experience, not a death sentence!!

I apologize now, if I have gone on waay too long, but I needed to cover as much as possible.

If I have left anything out, please you are welcome to add to it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this out. I for one really appreciate all the support and help you have given to me over the time we have known each other.
And let's hope that if FMs take the steps you have laid out there will be minimal bullying going on in this forum Hug

It's just a shame you have to go to those lengths to protect yourself, I just don't get what folk get out of bullying or hounding others, these types of places are meant for relaxing and having a chat and a laugh and discussing things that we find interesting Smiler

If someone is sending unwanted emails to you, there is an alternative to changing your email address. Most email programs will let you add specified email addresses to your blocked senders list. Some programs will merely transfer any emails from blocked senders to your deleted folder rather than your inbox. Other programs will give you the choice of such emails being transferred to your deleted folder or immediately removed from the server so you never know that the email was sent.

i did not post this for my sake, i wanted to help others like mike here, to point out to him, that we can help, and those who are doing this, can be found!

yes email providers can have this option, unfortunately sometime that still does not work, so best to delete that addie, make another.
