"To help SlimVirgin:
- Stalkers and other abusers tend to go after the vulnerable, and part
of vulnerability is social isolation. By being supportive, we reduce the chance that this particular case of stalking will become a violent one. And no, I'm not saying that Daniel Brandt et. al. are the violent type, in fact I do not believe they are, but the information which may or may not be true has been released to many. If it's true, all it takes is one nut to read that and hunt SlimVirgin down, and this could become much worse. By the time you know the danger you are in, it is often too late. You hear the sound of someone entering downstairs... door opening and closing... footsteps... and then the voice of the man you fear. You don't believe you could run out past him. There are no ladders to escape out the window." (snip)
Oh cut it out. ArmedBlowfish, you're feeding into a stereotype. The
trolls
have tried some very similar tactics with me, perhaps in part because
the
editors at *Search Engine Land* changed a line in my bio without asking
me.
I won't confirm or deny whether the trolls got it right, but I read your description and laugh *pity the fool who tries that*. I'm a war
veteran.
I've owned a Harley-Davidson and I've handled live rattlesnakes and I've saved an apartment building from burning down. I've even survived being struck by lightning.
What are you talking about? The windows? Sure, some people could probably have made themselves a rope on the spot. Some people probably wouldn't have been afraid to jump out and risk the broken bones. But I wasn't one of those people.
It's Slim's choice what to do. She isn't asking for your advice and I'm
not
asking either. We're adults and we're quite capable of choosing for ourselves.

If SlimVirgin is bothered by what I am saying, I might be mistaken, but I don't think she'd be afraid to tell me.

I think what you're saying is ridiculous and far-fetched and I wish you'd stop posting this crap to the mailing lists.
