Stupidity Runs Amuck
Since psycho already read it... no sense in keeping it public.
OMG ... you have to be kidding. You think I was born yesterday? I
already went down this street about three months ago ... and guess
what. There is nothing that can be done because the Internet is a vast
wasteland of morons. Please include yourself into this. Don't believe
me? Here is the email I sent to the San Jose police department... along
with the Atlanta Police Department.
My email:
Dear (appropriate Police Dept)
I am hoping that maybe you can help me with something. It's more
annoying than threatening but I am being harassed online by a woman
from Atlanta, Georgia. She isn't sending me emails, making phone calls
or sending me anything through the mail but there are several public
websites she's taunting or harassing me on. I've contacted the web
owners and even though she behaves herself from time to time, she jumps
from website to website that I am on, harassing me. It's completely
juvenile and more annoying than anything because it has now been going
on since November. I've basically tried the ignoring part but I'm just
curious if there is anything a person can do if someone is being
harassed online?
Sincerely
(me - not putting my full name here, are you crazy!? Oh yea.. you are)
Their response-
Dear Natasha,
Since the websites you are on seem to be general sites, open to the
public, there is no criminal violation. If however, you start to
receive a number of harassing phone calls, text messages, or e mails,
please save them and call us. If you have any questions, please contact
me personally.
Good luck,
Lt. XXXXXX
Investigations Division
Your Police Department basically said the same thing. Since the
Internet is public, there is no such thing as "stalking" because it's
like stalking your city. They said that if you ever stepped over the
lines listed above, that I contact both my police department or
yours. This is why I find it hysterical if you ever show up to a
FWAAM event that you fully know that I'm attending. Because believe
me, I'm contacting the police.
Keep everything private, I don't care. But note that the minute
you do step over the boundary, everything you have written will become
evidence. I want nothing to do with you ever ... but you insisted on
making my life hell, remember? I just fought back.
Wow... I didn't know they made crazy like this. Best of luck...
get some help. You got nothing .... and really, I mean nothing in all
aspects.
Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays it insists on it.

Ok... so I think I've stumbled across the most insane person I've
ever met. I have a crazy guy who lives on my street but OMG nothing
like this. But my boss who's totally amused by her rantings, mentioned
that she might be unstable and even though its amusing ... you NEVER
know what to expect. So even though I'll watch her ... it'll be from a
distance and definitely wary. And I am pretty much done talking about
her....
I've already fully established that's she's insane, sad and
pathetic .... not to mentioned stupid as hell. Sooo there really isn't
anything to gain from talking about her any longer. It's like the
stupid person calling you a moron ... or someone who's a wasteland of
honor telling you that you need to improve. Take it with a 50 pound
bag of salt.... sooo it's time to move on. Plus... there are so many
other things to focus on.
So here's my promise... I am done wasting my thoughts about her and
even better yet, writing them down here in the journal. It's just
drivel... why waste your time as well. I hope you all have a wonderful
weekend... I'm stuck with work tomorrow and then off to Toronto for a
GREAT vacation. I'll be taking my laptop for work purposes ... so I
may post when I have a chance. I definitely want to take some
pics.....
Muah!
