That is the first thing you learn with a stalker. Don't give them what they want, which is contact. Sometimes they will even up the ante to try and push your buttons more. They want a response more than anything, because without acknowledgement they can't be sure any of the stalking is having any effect. They will soon move on when someone else pisses them off or becomes the next object of their anger. That is the unfortunate thing about stalkers, they never stop doing it, but they can decide to refocus their attention once their interest in you wanes.

The guy who came after me used the Ebay handle Elakius and he used an AOL email address. Also, maybe someone could invite him to the forum to see if he actually has the fortitude to post here. I suspect that he wont, but if he really believes in his "cause" maybe he will.

Take DL39, for instance, who you seem to be really worried about he has a completely over-the-top, anti-PC style that he often plays for maximum effect. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but we (those of who show up more than once a month) also know he is an old-school D&D collector who is willing to help out with trades, share his knowledge, place bids for overseas members, spot scammers, etc. Hell, Frank makes me wince sometimes, but I know that if he spotted an item I'd been looking for, he would let me know or buy it himself and send it to me.We also have a forum that is, by the owner's choice, very lightly moderated. In general, this has been met with great approval, as too many of us have seen the utter disaster that is "moderation" at places such as Dragonsfoot. Again, this sytem might not work for everyone, but, generally speaking, we seem to have managed to struggle along somehow. **So, frankly, I gotta tell you that I'm completely unimpressed by someone who just drops by to pass judgment every month or so. Honestly, if we suck so bad, how about you just ... not visit again? (Or you could always take more cheap-shots at this site over at Dragonsfoot; see your May 21 entry). Or, if we do have a shred of hope, why don't you actually join the site and pitch in on some research or help spot some rip-off artists or do something else productive? Your track record here is, I'm sorry to say, mostly just arguing with people. Yet you feel justified in judging us. Whatever.You know what I do get sick of? Random, drive-by comments from once-a-month vistors.+++++** Compare our unmoderated site, for instance, to Dragsonsfoot. Which site has the 90-percent on-topic rate ... and which is on-topic aboout 20-percent of the time?

Since the forum is unmoderated, I'll just feel free to tell you how much of a fucking uptight prick I think bclarkie is, and that I think you're a fucking asslicking dickhead to stick up for him. The man (okay, boy) is clearly a self-righteous jerk, and picking on someone's (assumed) sexual orientation is clearly out-of-bounds regardless of the eBay situation. I don't really know or care whether this particular buyer has a bonafide gripe or not. It doesn't matter. Once you start calling people "carpet munchers" and such-like, or defended same, you've gone into the territory of the irredeemably sexist. Maybe I'll take so-called cheap-shots more often, if I'm not stopping by often enough for your taste. Get a life. Grow up. And better yet, get a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or a transsexual carpet-muncher. I don't care, just stop being so friggin' one-sided. Check the last five posts.... I'm not the only one who thinks you're going too far........

Do you still want to bid on that Booty and the Beasts that I had up for sale?
