Could it really be her?, Captain! There's a ship up ahead! Options

If it comes down to head-butt to head-butt — to coin a phrase — I'd put my money on SlimVirgin and her Troop of Psychopants (sic).

Of course, a big part of the reason for betting on her is that Jimbo is probably just begging for an excuse to cede the Looney Farm to anyone else and invest his time in something more filthy-lucre-tive.

Y'see, this proves she's in Canada, since only a Canadian would spend time collecting Loonies ...

SlimeVirgin considers AntiSocialMedia.net to contain "actionable libel and innuendo about [her] sex life". If only she would take action!

If only she would tell me where this stuff is located. I run the damned site and yet somehow seem to have missed it all.

Now that's some sly innuendo...when the person writing it doesn't even catch it.

SV may have a highly idiosyncratic definition of what constitutes a "sex life."

SlimVirgin has inadvertently confirmed that she is (name redacted):

.. He has stalked me for many months, stalking that has included contacting what he thinks are old boyfriends of mine from 20 years ago.

She's done it again.

The stalking has occurred by e-mail, with him
trying to find out who I am, contacting people he thinks I used to
date and work with. This is recent by the way, not ancient history; he
was last in touch with someone he thought I used to work for in
January this year.

If it's moot to contact people "he thinks I used to date", how can chasing a dead end trail be considered stalking?

...how can chasing a dead end trail be considered stalking?

Good question. I'd expect that her position would be something like this: Since she's not going to confirm anything anyone purports to discover about her, her failure to confirm will only cause people to look for more and more evidence to "prove" the assertion. So it's something of a Catch-22, damned-if-you-do/don't kind of situation.

But as always, whether or not one sees this as unfair depends entirely on one's attitude towards the larger issues of anonymity, abuse of admin powers, "ideological profiling" (as you've so aptly put it), and of course, automatic transmission repair.

A year of watching SlimVirgin work has taught me that her remarks are always carefully crafted to have the following two properties:

• Sound plausible to people who are uninformed, who haven't been paying attention over the long haul.
• Keep people from wanting to be informed, by making them think that it's not worth their attention.

Right now she's running circles around Jimbo and the rest of the Wikening List. It's really something to see, and the first time in a long time that there's been anything entertaining happening there. But her WikiPunch-&-Jimbo show has been a year in the making, and they don't even seem to know what's hitting them in the face.

Wap ! Wap ! Wap !

It's a reel laff riot ...

I don't read it because they kept rejecting my posts. I just archive it, but I notice the subject lines.

Our situation here gets discussed a lot, especially the situation with Daniel Brandt lately.

It struck me that this would mean highly successful tactics on WP would appear to casual observer to be:

• shallow
• boring

It's a question of what is cyberstalking, too. No one, as far as has been reported, has hacked her e-mail, trolled her, etc., -- the stuff usually defined as stalking. Is asking, via the internet, unrelated third parties who never had contact with Superman or Batman about those two considered stalking?

In the U.S., which seems the only relevant jurisdiction, the (likely unconstitutionally vague) "cyber-stalking" law specifically excludes persons using their real name to post information. Thus, Mr. Brandt, at least, has nothing to worry about.

[Uly]

There are various state laws that could come into play that aren't similarly limited. If it turns out that Slim isn't really living in Canada these days, it could theoretically be an issue.

What? Less rigth for Americans? That would be headline news.
