Stalker

You might remember back at the end of January me posting about my ingame stalker MeLuvYU LongTime who had declared war on my industrial corp with a corporation called Kirith Kodachi's Fan Club.

Well, shortly after that I received another evemail that got a little creepier, with a link to a woman in a bikini and calling me by my last name. My real life last name.

Now, I've not made special efforts to hide my identity and anyone familiar with google and this blog could nail down who I am pretty easily. I've just seen no need to advertise as this is a gaming blog, mostly about Eve. But still I was perturbed and filed a petition as a way to make an official record of the harrasment. I have no problem with in-game war decs, hunting, killing POSes etc, but that's all in game. You take your griefing out of the game and I get a little worried.

Next abour a few days later I got an anomymous comment on my personal blog that I keep for friends and family to know what's going on with the Boys and my wife and I. That comment posted my home phone number. I deleted it even though, again, I have not taken great steps to hide it in the past.

It was quiet since then and I thought maybe this annoyance had blown over. Then this morning I noticed a comment on last night's post linking to my personal blog by an anomymous commenter. I deleted it, but on my most recent post another link to my personal blog again by anonymous. I deleted it again.

To save them the effort, here it is for everyone. If you really feel the need to know that Lukas is teething or Sean is standing or what family we visited last weekend, knock yourselves out. It doesn't get updated very often and the content is not scintillating by any stretch of the imagination.

As for the anomymous commenter, I've disabled commenting without logging in. I'm sure there are ways to get around that but if you are going to spam my posts with useless drivel, at least give me a name even if its fake.

In the past I've suggested someone at FINEG might be behind the alt MeLuvYU LongTime. I take that back; this doesn't feel like them and I'd hate to drag their name through the mud if they had nothing to do with it.

  1. Sorry to hear this is still going on man. Make sure you document everything possibly involved in this situation for legal purposes. I sent you an email about a way wich may help you with the documentation.

  2. That's weird; it would bother me, too. That person is stepping way over the line. What the hell is wrong with people? I really wonder sometimes.

  4. That's really strange.

    Have you contacted the peeps at FEIGN to confirm some stuff? Maybe because it is a RL incident they might be honest.

    Good luck with solving your troubles, and your two sons are cute!

    If that link led to a private site, the stalker has your IP address now. If you haven't already updated your firewall and virus scanner, do so now.

  7. Sounds like someone needs to get a life and get out of yours.

  8. Sounds like some mal-adjusted, snot nosed teen needs to find something more constructive to do with his time. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

    What are the odds of contacting google to do a backtrack search? I'm sure this kind of thing happens with some form of regularity and they've measures in place to try to track the culprits.

    So sorry mate, it's rediculous someone would see it fit to take this kind of stance with something so creative and needed in the Eve community.

  10. Very creepy. I'm not sure I would be quite so calm if a comment or email showed up on my blog with my phone number in it.

    Completely unrelated, excellent choice of names for your twins. My son's name is Lukas as well.
