Harassment on Message Boards
I'm not really sure where to post this, but I am feeling really unsafe on these boards.
I'm all good for political debate, but when someone goes out of their way to debate using personal information, that's when I draw the line.
This person (andi1 then andi2) posted for the first time with a Germany comment, and then continued with an Oz comment, and then a university comment. I feel threatened because I live in Germany, my DH is from Oz (Australia) and I work at a university. This was all wrapped up in cryptic comments.
ETA: I'm not looking for sympathy here, but rather just wanting to point out something.

Disgusting. I know it sounds fruitless but have you tried contacting client services? Sorry this is happening to you

Re: Harassment on Message Boards
This was a political argument, and nothing more. The only information I had about Kling was that she is from Germany because she shared that. I raised an argument about Germany, she did not refute it, and I made the point that she acts like a know-it-all who turned out not to know so much. I referred to a scene from Oz to make a point that she was not as impressive when challenged. I did not know her husband and was from Australia. In any event, that was only one of three movies/shows I quoted. Thankfully, she cannot have family in Westeros
The safe space comment also was not cryptic - it meant if she does not want to be offended in a political discussion she should not be on a political board.
I did not harass anyone. I probably did hurt her ego, which I suspect is the real reason she does not want me to post.

Intentional or not, it's creepy and weird.

No, don't try to turn this around. My ego is not "hurt" as you say. I've had plenty on disagreements on here, but none have been some random coming out of the woodwork to name personal info about me.
Oh and I did refute your argument, but I'm not going to go any further with a psycho/stalker.

Re: Harassment on Message Boards
I repeat I did not name personal information about you. If you interpret my comments as such it is because you are distorting them on purpose, are paranoid, or just clueless.

Perhaps I missed something but why are you in hiding anyway? If there's nothing "creepy" about you then why not use your regular account?

If it's information that you've put out there yourself then I don't really see anything creepy about it. Should they be making personal attacks? No. But it doesn't sound like this person went to any great lengths to find out personal information about you.

No it was beyond creepy. This person made 2 posts, in direct response to the OP, from an account created in 2007 that only had 2 posts. Clearly this person has either an additional, more active, username here but has chosen to hide under a different inactive one, or they've just creepily lurked here for 10 years. Then for some reason created another fake name, for who knows what reason, and still targeted the OP.
Between that and the strange cryptic posts, it's beyond Creepy and borderline stalking. Not to mention, whoever it is, has been antagonistic and downright nasty.

Re: Harassment on Message Boards
I'm not sure why you kept goading the poster on. I think if you just left it alone after the first post, it would have died. But responding back and forth provokes a nastier conversation.

Re: Harassment on Message Boards
I think there needs to be some serious thought given to what the words "unsafe" and "harassment" truly mean.
And come on, you just reiterated your personal information on this post. One would think that if you truly felt "unsafe", you'd refrain from continually posting personal information on a very public forum.

I can't believe people are actually telling op how she should feel or questioning her feelings.
I noticed creeper mcstalker shortly after the first post s/he made and felt weirded out and that was before knowing the other info about oz and the university.
This. Person. Had. 2. Posts. On. A. 10. Year. Old. Username. Both. Directed. At. Op.
And then made another one to continue to antagonize. Regardless of whether op made her info public or not, this person has clearly been reading her posts for who knows how long.

The point is that the stalker poster came here for the SOLE PURPOSE of harassing Klang.
Why is there any other discussion being had right now? Plain as day.

Put yourself into her shoes for a moment. Empathize with her.
Someone comes on this mb with the sole intent of harassing you.
You're seriously telling me you'd just ignore it? You wouldn't say anything?

I totally agree with this. Also, if the OP is truly feeling that unsafe then she should deactivate her account.

Seriously. Lots of victim blaming going on here. Not saying KK is a victim but geez Louise. The parallels.

Yeah, totally all my fault. Victim blame much?
This is information that I have posted previously before this post. If something ever happens like this to you, then maybe you would understand.
It wouldn't bother me (as much) if a regular poster did something like this. This person just decided to show up with an account that had never posted and went straight for the personal attack.

Victim blame? Please... I (along with others) were pointing out how you say you feel unsafe but continue to post personal information. If you feel that "unsafe" then deactivate your account. Problem solved.

It's seriously like trying to talk to a wall. 
Are you suggesting she asked for this?
