Ns and the
Net
“He had a secret online
life that he led involving meeting other women in our town for sex, I
signed up for AOL on my own account and got a screen name and began chatting
with him and oh the heart break of watching a pic that you took of your
husband download…he worked so hard to convince me he wasn’t married.”
“Anyway, I never answer the
phone anymore. I just let my robotic sounding answering machine do the
job. Since I quit doing that, he has started sending me anonymous emails and
has been visiting my favorite website posting
messages under names that are intended as specific negative messages to
me. Makes me sound paranoid doesn’t it? Anyway, he posted
something Saturday night on the site where I usually get homework help and
I made the mistake of posting something back to him under the screenname of Leave_Me_Alone_Jerk.
Now he is calling here again. Big mistake on my part I suppose. I have not
posted on the site to get homework help nor have I answered the phone in
the past couple of days because I don’t want to reinforce his inauthentic
self any more than I already have.”
“I can relate to internet
stalking.......the stuff you describe is common...The worse is
the cumulative effect....As far as I can see, a person would only have to
hit you with postings like that a FEW times before you start feel that ANY
weird thing is part of it...Because you have no way of knowing which ones
aren’t, and there are always plenty of odd things around on the internet.
That’s what makes it such a playground for stalkers and
bullies...The effect of everything you do sort of naturally doubles itself.”
“Remember one thing - N’s
love to provoke and every time he throws out the bait and you lunge for
it, it’s one for him. Unfortunately when we are intimately involved with N’s
they know every hot button and never cease to press it when they feel
threatened. Obviously you have succeeded in threatening him otherwise he
would not be going to such extraordinary lengths to rattle your cage.”
