Snowspinner muses about stalking and murder, He's "edgy" and "artistic" Options

[orthogonal]

I have mastered the art of surveillance. For the past four years I have meticulously watched the same woman through my telescope. I know every bra and pair of panties that she owns. I can describe, to the millimeter, the location of every blemish on her body. I have also learned endurance - I went the entirety of last March without touching myself as I watched her.

. . . .

In desperate situations, I have learned that I can kill another man. A month ago I went out and found a homeless man. I lured him to the railroad tracks and garroted him. The police have yet to name a suspect. I am confident that they never will. The experience was exhilarating, but not so exhilarating that I would consider myself a psychopath. I am confident I can keep my random murders down to one a month with minimal effort.

I'm sure Fat Phil will explain he was just jerking around, not revealing his unsavory self.

(Of course, he'll explain that his plea to "give jackbooted fascism a chance" on his user page is just a harmless joke too.)

Let's not forget that on Wikipedia, being stalked can lead you to get banned as well. Being the stalker, however, can lead to a successful request for adminship.

Cyber stalking victims, like Skyring and Donny, or culprits like Adam Carr, Slim Virgin, Snowspinner, Antaeus Feldspar?

Wikipedia doesn't follow the law. They don't follow any laws. Their No Legal Threats rule makes sure that they never even briefly follow any laws. Whilst they have a lawyer and have introduced their Office Actions policy in order to comply with the law, this doesn't really work. And then Wikipedia admins who want Wikipedia to become disobedient again, make up Wikitruth, and hey presto Wikipedia isn't abidin by the law anymore.

Is cyber stalking the same as real life stalking? As someone who has had both happen to them, I would say that they are different.

When I was real life stalked, for about 4 months I couldn't move, couldn't do anything, and my life was in constant danger 24/7. This sucks. The police wouldn't do a thing, and indeed they went further and started to protect him.

When I was cyber stalked, I lost my job, and had a huge smear campaign against me. Nobody came to kill me, it didn't lead to "real life" stalking. But it did count as real life smearing of my name. People thought I was a paedophile who had raped little kids, and indeed was in court right then and there over it. For 2 years I couldn't get any job working with kids because of it. It still affects my reputation. Of course, I had webpages galore hacked and deleted, I had instant messenger programs destroyed and I had threats galore from people online, not to mention abusive phone calls. But that doesn't really matter.

People say that cyber stalking is nothing, but it is the same attitude that has real life stalking. Cyber stalking is a lot easier to do, and much easier to get away with. But would anyone be supporting Snowspinner's right to stalk if he was arguing about his right to snoop through someone's window or perch on a treetop and take photos? Would they really?

They are the same kind of thing, played out differently.

Police should have taken fingerprints and a DNA sample, just to be sure that Snowspinner didn't cross the boundary. Just to be sure that his cyber stalking, which we all know he is repeatedly guilty of, didn't lead to actual stalking.

I wouldn't call myself a victim of stalking, at least not by AF. I think my fight with AF was concentrated in only one area, the wiki-fiddler article and the Andrew Orlowski one. I did have a sort of "cyber-stalker" on Wikipedia, but not AF: a user called Dforest used to go through my "user contributions" and come to various articles I was editing. He was fairly annoying, but the situation didn't lead to any big problems. Eventually I told him just to not edit any more articles which I was involved with.
