Is it weird/creepy?

[EllieP]

A guy did that to me last year. Told me he had seen me getting out of my car at my office in Mayfair. Was able to describe the car and place. Really creepy. Haven't used the front door since.

That scares me more than anything. A few years ago I had a stalker from Italy. He found my Facebook page, and he also found the Facebook page for a volunteer group that I head. He said he was going to meet me at the stables so I could take him for a ride.

For more than a brief moment I thought that he literally meant he was in Florida! I can't tell you how freaked out I was. I cried and sobbed and told my husband that I didn't want to leave the house. I even put my big pistol in my car whenever I went anywhere. I didn't go to the stables for weeks just thinking about it. He never left Italy, as far as I know, but it was many, many months before I logged on here again.

I don't know if I overreacted, but I was ready for anything. Intrusion in real life is very very scary.

Some of the fuckers I've encountered on here are a very legitimate additional reason for me to be glad to have firearms at hand. I've been careful enough thus far that I don't think there is anything to be especially concerned about on here, but just like I repeatedly said in various ways in the "why don't you post photos of your face" or whatever thread, I would rather behave with caution than be a naive idiot.

I'm from Texas, so my attitude towards guns is pretty obvious. But I respect everyone's feelings toward weapons of any kind. It's strictly a personal preference.

I took three different self defense courses when I lived in Atlanta. Two were taught by policemen, and neither advocated any weapon other than pepper spray. I told them I carry. They told me that if I didn't run at least three magazines through the gun every month then I shouldn't be carrying. Getting a license does not grant you permanent competence. I still go to the range once every couple of months.

When I see something like they've been a member for five years with fewer than 100 posts and every person they follow is on my ignore list, it's weird.

This!!!

I hate that. Pretty sure it's "just" guys with multiple accounts "keeping track" with a minion account, but stalkers have to start somewhere.

Just followed you, too! Omg...I might make it up to 25 tonight! I’ll have to have a lay down.

You weren't already? What's that about?

I *think* I'm following everyone now, but in all honesty I don't know - this whole thing is more complicated than I knew!

I thought so as well. Turned out last night I followed neither you nor LaFemme. Bummer.

You know what else is creepy? Someone you have quite literally never interacted with, who never posts in the forums, messages you to tell you they either are from the same place you are, or they will be visiting soon, accompanied by nothing other than a wink.

Er, so? What are you telling me for?

*shudder* Noooooo

Wow. I’d freak the hell out. I have no weapons. Just a big ass purse. I don’t even have a bitchy face. We aren’t even allowed to carry pepper spray here. Mind you, I can drop and kick like a mother effer, and I have no qualms about stabbing my thumbs or keys into someone’s eyes.

Having a gun isn't necessary to kick a mother fuckers ass... I own guns but I don't carry.

I might start eating a lot of bacon.

I like your thinking...

 

[693987]

I find it weird how many people follow me. Specifically the ones who never have interacted with me, much less in a positive way. If they are friends with a bunch of people on my ignore list, I'm immediately suspicious.

I only follow people I'm actually friendly with. I guess some cleavage and legs are enough for thirsty folks to hope I'll post more and follow. Joke is on them, though. That's all they'll see.

Edited to add: I generally don't acknowledge follows, either. I have nothing uploaded that is in a private/friend only album, so no worries there. Even if the site changes how permissions work, there aren't any worries for me.

 

[TinyPrincess]

To be honest, I don't know what following people does?

When you follow someone, they pop up in your news feed and grant you access to their galleries (if they are hidden for basic users).

I think most followers are in it for the latter. Guys will be guys.

My knowledge of it is an awesome but weird game that was on PC, where the art was claymation? But maybe I'm thinking of a different one than you.

Yeppers.

I knew I liked you.

That's gross.

Nope.

Neverhood will always be my location. Cuz if a person knows the Neverhood I am probably gonna like'em.

I never got to play. They had it in the PC lab in my school, but it was always being used.
