stalking...
i am being stalked. Not in here, this is *still* a safe haven, although it is rather quiet at the moment, but it is here for moments like THIS and right now i need it.
Yes I am being stalked. Or followed might be a better word. Someone I know, who is obviously very bored, keeps following the links off my *other* blog, which has my blogroll for the people I usually read, and reading them too. I don't mind this, as of course they are not *my* blogs and everyeone can read any blog they like, but this person is like family, he is close to me, he is not a blogger and he keeps mailing me and this big group of friends I have on a mailing list about posts from the blogs i read. Does this make sense? He'll write to everyone saying "wow you 've got to read this!" knowing full well I have made a comment on that post, and hence it feels like my comments are no longer private. I know they aren't anyway, as all blogs are public and if i choose to bear my soul I do it knowing full well anyone can read it. But it still feels weird.. Cos now *all* my friends can read them. Which they wouldn't normally. And by sending these mails out, this person is also very clearly telling *ME* that he is reaing my comments. He is making it very clear indeed that he knows where I go, who I read and what I say. Does this make sense? Am i *allowed* to feel this way? Or am I overreacting???
You are not over reacting. This is one of the very reasons I have shut down my blog. There are some sick f*cks out there. Becareful. It starts off this way and then begins to get more creepy. I'd tell him to cut the shit right off. Wow...this same thing is happening to me. Amazing the people out there...
I don't think you're over reacting either. I would confront this chap, and ask him just what it is he thinks he's trying to do, ... and to cut it out, whatever it is. I know of a few people who's blogs I visit regularly have packed up and reopened new blogs with an alias. They let those people that they WANT to know about the new location know and continue ....
allowed.
I found that screenshots do a world of good. You're not over reacting, he needs to leave you alone, and I hope you've been saving and printing things to show people that can give you a nice restraining order. :)
