If Loki's words were spoken by some neutral observer, it might have hurt my feelings/ But coming from Loki, well, he's just off his rocker half the time.

Also, you entirely miss the point if you think I am seeking sympathy. I seek none whatsoever. I am a big target for all comers and challengers. There's not a day that goes by on tribe that some new troll or other internet weirdo doesn't take up the cause and try to challenge me. If I could not handle that and needed your sympathy, would I still be doing it after all these years?

No, the point of my post was not to solicit sympathy but rather to distinguish between trolls who merely make fun and play games here on tribe and stalkers, OCDs, bullies, and other malicious types whose purpose is to cause actual real life harm, or at least to scare people with threats of actual real life harm.

If what you do is send people personal messages telling them you can or are going to harm them, you maybe a loser.

If what you do is befriend people to gain personal information, then disclose it in public in order to embarass them or blackmail them, you may be a loser.

Sympathy? You think I want your sympathy, Loki? I think you are projecting, again.

I don't want sympathy. I'm just trying to raise public awareness.

Tribe.net is a dangerous place. Some of the most popular people here (in terms of friend count) and most active members are very malicious people who do seek to cause you harm or embarassment in real life.

You make friends here at your own risk.

I think it is just one notch above Craigslist in terms of being seedy and dangerous.

"This bed looks an awful lot like one you made; try sleeping in it, tough guy. Having been accused by you of stalking you in the past."

---I never accused you of being a stalker, Loki. If I said such a thing, it was in jest and you're taking it out of context. There was that time when you started flooding my in box with complaints about some imagined injury and then started posting diatribes about me. I still don't know what it was about. I might have referred to that conduct as stalking, but it was in a humorous context. I've never compared you to the people you and I both know are stalkers, like the B guy who drives you to madness.

Your bizarre and nigh-hypocritical propensity to slap "troll" on people makes you a prime candidate for this important update, M. Maybe people will stop calling *you* a troll, one day, eh? Wouldn't that be nicer for everyone?

"internet shut-in loser."
I like that. See you at the support group meeting Guru.

We're real sorry about your little dog.
