Stalking Just to Disagree

[truthmagnet]

Is it not becoming of a Christian to seek after certain posters just so they can disagree with them? it seems a common thing to do for some. they look for specific poster's comments just so that they can jump in with their rebuttal no matter what the subject. seems their purpose in being in these forums is that they just want to try to prove another person wrong and sometimes it seems their purpose is more personal than anything else. seems they can't wait to prove certain people wrong no matter what the subject. Anyone else feel this way?

I have the number of an excellent cyber attorney that gives out cyber restraining orders for cyber stalkers.



And oh yes, I know exactly what you're talking about!!

I had this problem too, on CF. If you want to put an end to it just disable 'find all posts'. You can also report those whom you believe to be stalking you if they are actually harassing you in their posts.

In your case woob they were following you through several forums. Is this the issue in this case too?

 

[TrustAndObey]

I've had people follow me from other forums.

How do you disable "find all posts" Woob?

this isn't a "case". it is "the issue".

Thanks, I found it.

The problem is, if someone in this forum is deliberately stalking someone's posts, they're going to see if they're the last poster on a thread, so turning off the post finder won't help.

It is completely sad and ludicrous that things have come to this.

Can the attorney handle defamation of character, too?

Yeah, but it's a legitimate concern brother.

When I used to come on this forum a while back I kept noticing a certain poster was always right behind me with posts. It's a little creepy honestly. I got it taken care of but it was still disheartening while it was happening.

I had someone stalk me on Yahoo chat once too. They didn't like what I said about death, and that made me the enemy apparently.

 

[TrustAndObey]

And just for the record NightEternal, if you and I are engaged in an active conversation, I'll skim around other threads and then when I see you've posted a reply I go right back into that thread. That, in my opinion, obviously isn't stalking when either of us do it.

However, if you're in GT and someone you were engaging in debate with in there suddenly shows up in the Adventist forum to continue the debate, that's a little creepy. (Creepy=stalking)

Or...if you can't make a post in here without the same person constantly badgering you about what you've said, even if it's trivial and doesn't really have anything to do with our doctrine, that's a little creepy too.

Do you agree?

It is.

I used to debate very strongly against Calvinism. It just so happened that one Calvinist ended up being thoroughly frustrated with me as a result of a thread I put up.

For months this guy would usually show up in threads that I was involved in, and take low blow shots at me.

I confronted him on this several times via PM, and he retaliated by being even more verbally abusive.

It got so bad that I had to block him and disable 'find all posts'. I reported him for harassment.

Eventually he stopped.

not directed towards you wooba, but that sounds like what happens here.

A guy came into the Yahoo SDA chatroom once and slammed everybody in the room with his first sentence. The man was a woman-hater extraordinaire.

You should've seen the words this man was typing.

Any time a friend of mine would log-on she had at least 30 messages from him. He'd get banned and then come back under a different screen name just to terrorize her again.

True story.

She finally had to hide out for a little while, and I thought that was really sad.

He even told her once that he knew where she lived and knew her children's names and was going to come after them.

And a little add-on....the man claimed to be a Christian.

 

[NightEternal]

Sure, I agree TrustAndObey.

Wow. None of this has ever happened to me.

Well, I shouldn't say that. There was that one poster from Revival Sermons forum who followed me to another forum. He found a thread there called "What Beliefs Have Changed" that I was involved in. He then took it upon himself to cut and paste a list of how my beliefs in some areas of Adventist doctrine had changed and posted it on the RS forum. They proceeded to dissect the post and call into question my Adventist integrity as well as say some pretty rotten things about me behind my back.

When I found out, I notified the moderator and he complied in taking the post down and deleting the thread.

I guess that's more 'quasi-stalking' eh?

no, i'd think that would be called "not having a life" stalking.
thanks to all for sharing.
it is established now that this is obviously an issue. now let's talk about the part of my opening thread that asks, "is this becoming of Christian behavior" to go after people in this way?

I've seen some pretty trivial "stalking" and then I've seen it at its worst.

Following someone around online is just way too creepy in my opinion.

No, it's not becoming at all. It's just.....creepy.

this isn't a "case". it is "the issue".

Every "issue" is made up of "cases". If you want me to know more about what you are talking about you can pm me. Otherwise I just have to go on what I have seen.
