But really, how personal is the internet?

forestdesert July 12 2004, 11:53:34 UTC

Personal enough for people to threaten to call you at work. Not that I believe any of it of course, I'm just taking the necessary precautions to ensure my own safely from trailer trash.

Should she actually call you let me know and check the caller id. I have no problem sending her a letter regarding the stalking laws in Florida signed from one of our attorneys.

Thanks! I'm planning to report them to harrassment should they call here.

forestdesert July 12 2004, 13:47:09 UTC

ahem, make that "for" harrassment. I'm edgy today.

forestdesert July 12 2004, 13:56:06 UTC

Oh one more thing. We can report baby219 to lj_abuse for the threats she made on her journal. Both you and runningnak3d should file a report as well. Might as well give them a taste of their own censorship.

Good grief. I just took a look at her journal.

Sad.

And that's all the energy I'm going to waste on the likes of her.

You are much wiser than I. If only I had realized this sooner I would not be in the mess that I am now.

I made mine friends only about three weeks after I started here...I figured I would piss someone off eventually who would try to go all hillbilly drunk-dialer on me.

It's an especially good idea when one operates a community such as we do.

forestdesert July 12 2004, 17:23:48 UTC

Yes, if only I'd realized this earlier.

wet_paper_alibi July 12 2004, 21:21:26 UTC

Hillbilly drunk-dialer!!!

My new favourite diss. Thank you!

Okay, I guess its the least I can do after she made such an ass out of herself. =)

forestdesert July 12 2004, 17:24:52 UTC

I only wish I had been aware that she discovered our community sooner so that I could have locked the relevant threads, and of course abolished open membership.

I've been in a similar situation as you, back in 1995.

While in a harmless, recreational flame war with someone on a BBS, he had to say "you couldn't find me if you pulled a map out of your ass". Says him.

Five minutes later he had twenty messages on his answering machine. I got everyone in the computer lab to leave a message on his machine (remember, I am a sheepdog)... nothing threatening, but we did make sure to make fun of him on every call. I even got a few of the ladies to ask him out on a date. =)

I think it scared the guy shitless when he got home and found the messages. In fact, he threatened to contact the FCC. And the sysop of the board (even though he was my friend) had to side with him.

I just said "fuck it"... even though I was not scared of his threats, I admitted I got carried away, apologized, and resumed the flamewar as if nothing happened. And that was the end of it.

Moral of the story: as a Flame Warrior®, you've got to be prepared for these things.
