Period.<BR/><BR/>It happened to me, and then the troll simply vanished to stalk some other soul. It is sadly part of the whole blogging process, as there are some people who just have a social ineptness and are happier when they are trying to make everyone as miserable as them.lady miss marquisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216538892489633988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-67032155100222543562007-02-19T16:14:00.000-08:002007-02-19T16:14:00.000-08:00this is shit! im so sorry you went through this, ...this is shit! im so sorry you went through this, i dont think you are over-reacting, i think its scary and unecessary.

It i so unfair that one jealous person (and that what they is jealous...because since all of the comments have been annon. or other fake names, they don't have their own blog link attached so they obviously are not as creative as you and need to try to siphon off some of your greatness to make themselves feel whole.) I think you have dealt with the situation in a mature manner and I do not blame you for being upste that he took your picture and posted them on a forum.

I hated doing that, but I just wasn't willing to tolerate the random drive-by shootings.<BR/><BR/>Listen, you're young, beautiful, and traveling the world. This is bound to arouse jealousy in petty people. And on the internet they often feel free to take cheap shots at the object of their jealousy. It's just so easy to do. But you're handling it well and the fact that they've started a website devote solely to slamming on you means you must be pretty popular. That's a rare level of devotion, even if he is trying to act as if he dislikes you. A guy doesn't spend that much time stealing photos of a girl and writing about her unless he has at least some attraction to her. I mean, I slam on Rosie O'Donnell all the time, but you don't see me creating a website for her. This guy most likely has a thing for you, but he's a jerk so he expresses it in a nasty way. When you handle it with class you just reaffirm what we already thought about you, that you are a classy person. So in the end, despite the aggravation, you are the winner.<BR/><BR/>I hope this makes some sense. I'm a bit tired so I'm not sure if I'm expressing my thoughts here as well as I think I am.Memphishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636056194130886380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-81485926812066051182007-02-12T21:55:00.000-08:002007-02-12T21:55:00.000-08:00To Everyone - Thanks so much for the support.

Keep it up!<BR/><BR/>I completely agree with the whole moderating comments thing, however...<BR/><BR/>The person is no longer commenting on my blog (for now). Like someone said, this is my home turf and if they want to bring their petty remarks here, fine. And yup I can always choose to moderate comments if it gets to that. It's still an option...at least to get rid of anonymity.<BR/><BR/>But the point is that they have brought their comments elsewhere, to a forum on another site about my city.<BR/><BR/>So as you can see, it doesn't really matter what I do here, this person is obviously sick enough to go out of their way to make a whole website devoted to me.<BR/><BR/>What's even sicker, is that if you actually read the comments on that forum, it's so obviously the same person almost everytime. Same point(?), same style of writing, everytime. <BR/><BR/>He/she <I>thinks</I> they get away with it there because they aren't under the scrutiny of my sitemeter.<BR/><BR/>However, they are so delusional that they think we can't tell.<BR/><BR/>Which cements the growing theory that it's just a 13-year old kid.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, yes it's very creepy to have someone this obsessed with me (even if they are just 13) but on the plus side I've never gotten so many hits! Maybe there is no such thing as bad publicity...gotta look on the bright side. <BR/><BR/>Plus, I do have their IP address, if worse comes to worse.<BR/><BR/>I've also gotten tons of nice emails from a lot of you, which is wonderful. Thanks so much.<BR/><BR/>And there is a BIG bright side...I'll post about it in awhile so be sure to look back for it, but some pretty cool things happened to me today.<BR/><BR/>So thanks again to you all, even though I mainly blog for myself, I'm so happy to have so much support and it lets me know I am on the right track because so many people read my daily yappings. <BR/><BR/><B>Blogging may bring out the worst in people, but in also brings out the best.</B> <BR/><BR/>And please, if anyone else has some pyschotic troll stories, I would <I>love</I> to hear them.Wanderlustinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997835666384194750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-66473496952724437782007-02-12T20:17:00.000-08:002007-02-12T20:17:00.000-08:00Anonymous = coward.If you're going to make a comme...Anonymous = coward.<BR/>If you're going to make a comment, at least have the balls to put your name to it.<BR/>I'd lose the Anonymous sign in option if I were you.surfercamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134070213735613727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-82359110035892887332007-02-12T19:47:00.000-08:002007-02-12T19:47:00.000-08:00Oh and I couldn't resist one more snarky quote... ...Oh and I couldn't resist one more snarky quote... <BR/><BR/><I>So many freaks, not enough sideshows</I>Dayngrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188692449680744194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-26222925685150875162007-02-12T19:46:00.000-08:002007-02-12T19:46:00.000-08:00First things first, understand that you can't expl...First things first, understand that you can't explain crazy and crazy is clearly what you're dealing with here. Def disable anon comments and keep the word verification up and of course moderate (at least all three for a little while). Make the bastard work for it if he or she wants to be such an assclown. <BR/><BR/>I've had to deal with crap like this for more years than I care to admit. Anytime you are on the internet you are gonna get crazies. I haven't had to deal with it on my blog (maybe your freak will come visit me now) but I've had more than my fair share. In the beginning I used to love to argue but as they say, <I>"Arguing with idiots is pointless , they will drop you to their level and kill you with experience"</I> so the best stance is to ignore. <BR/><BR/>Know this though, you do have rights and there is such a thing as cyberstalking. Also, anytime harassment crosses state or country lines the FBI can get involved. I bet his/her ISP has a great TOS agreement and they would be more than happy to yank him/her as a client.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you are even having to waste a minute thinking about this loser especially since this is prob their only claim to fame.Dayngrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188692449680744194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-51593916947899042472007-02-12T19:38:00.000-08:002007-02-12T19:38:00.000-08:00It's interesting but I do think that this might be...It's interesting but I do think that this might be something u might have to prepare for as a blogger.<BR/><BR/>It is funny that I always thought I was exempt from this sort of nonsense since i do not blog about anything remotely "controversial" but then again, neither do u.<BR/><BR/>It could happen to any of us and it does.<BR/><BR/>Rarely have i seen it at this level though.<BR/><BR/>Maybe all blogger should prepare for the crazies - and I mean the real crazies.<BR/><BR/>It for me has always been anonymous trolls leaving comments and that I can ignore. <BR/><BR/>But this is something that is beyond ur blog. It's not even on ur blog anymore, the person has taken it to another level - another site, one which u have no control over.<BR/><BR/>All u can do is hope it dies down.<BR/><BR/>Though this prat sounds sick in the head so that may not happen anytime soon.<BR/><BR/>Of course our responses here might be egging him on, but u know what I don't care, I hope he gets it in his head that he is a pathetic WANKER and no one cares what he has to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-53371190226087305012007-02-12T17:56:00.000-08:002007-02-12T17:56:00.000-08:00Been there and done that.

Don't give the cowards or "keyboard cowboys" as i like to call these trolls, the darkness the need to hide in.<BR/>If they want to defame you,make the sad fucks sign up to blogger first.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, for this type of troll you really HAVE to moderate your comments. I know that sucks, but it has to be done. By allowing these mindless gimps a voice you are encouraging them.<BR/><BR/>All trolls are just retarded dicks who have no life outside of cyber space.
