You could just go away and never come back here.(

I can't go away from the internet.I can leave b3ta but there has been harassment outside of b3ta. It didn't stop on b3ta when I didn't post for a year. And it hasn't stopped, so my "take it on the chin" and "it's not worth escalating" patience has worn out.

What did you get in the year you were away from here then that doesn't sound like the ramblings of a paranoid?(

My understanding is that you revealed your own real name on an irreverant comedy websiteThen proceeded to have a series of high-profile fallings-out with several popular forum members.
You then seem to be expressing outrage at your name being re-posted on the same forum where you yourself published your name.
You then open yourself up for further ridicule by creating a profile on a BDSM website using the same account name that you use here.
As your complaints increase in magnititude, so does the level of abuse you're getting. Re-appearing on here every day is not helping at all.
A more sensible course of action would perhaps have been to step away from the keyboard and go and play somewhere else, don't you think?

You forgottrying to start an alternative forum by stealing both posters from this one, which turned out to be so laughable that no-one lasted more than a couple of days once the initial "joke" wore off.

Good point.I'd forgotten about that, mainly because it sounded so shit right from the start that I didn't even bother to look at it.

Fair enough, here's my understanding.
I have posted on b3ta for a while.
I have repeatedly blocked users from replying to me on b3ta using the tools available on the website.
Some users on b3ta have on more than 2 occasions posted comments and information that caused me alarm. Specifically accusations of serious crimes.
I also received a skype call and phone calls. Profile in my real name, and variations of my username have been made.
Some users on b3ta posted my photo and personally identifiable information without permission. And have refused to remove them when asked.
I have repeatedly asked people to stop and made it clear that I believe it counts as harassment.
I left b3ta for over a year and it didn't stop.
As I've said before, I'm never going to agree that it's just harmless banter no matter what people say on here. So it either stops or I'll have to do whatever I can to make it stop.

Let me ask you thisDo you feel more harrassed now, or during the year when you were away from the site?
My point being, that if you permanently left then people would soon forget about you and the perceived harassment would rapidly tail off.
Also, you may think you were away for a year, but there was a widespread suspicion that you were lurking during that time. That in itself probably prolonged the 'harrassment' and was really not helping yourself, IMHO.

I see you didn't address any of the other points.Honestly, were you lurking or not? Your answer will go some way to explaining your state of mind when you returned.
Edit: See also searching for posts about yourself.

I feel more harrassed now because I recieved phone calls and skype messageswhich took it from a words on the screen mentality to an actual interrupting my real life thing. I may have looked at the popular pages of b3ta once or twice a month, I think I logged in to call naked ape an idiot.
But more importantly it's not up to me to stop letting the harassment affect me for fucks sake, it's up to the people continuing the harassment to stop. That's is the main point, this isn't my problem, this is theirs.

Well no one seems to be owning up to it. so your evidence that it was a poster from here appears flimsy at best.So are you saying that you definitely haven't pissed anyone off somewhere else?
As I said, lurking - even monthly - will not help. Responding to taunts, phone calls, etc also doesn't help.
Hit 'disconnect' or 'logout' and forget all about it. I'm sure your perceived harassers will eventually do the same.

But you did set up the bdsm profile. At least have the dignity to admit that, rather than maintaining the laughable position that it was me or meatsnake.
I know you're mentally ill, but that's just crazy.

I did not.If I did what would it matter, do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy?
Here's three questions for you personally dozer. Have I told you to leave me alone? Have I made it clear that I believe I'm being harassed? Have you left me alone?

continued unwanted communication.Repeated posts designed to cause alarm or distress.
(, Fri 18 Sep 2015, 15:41, Reply)
Perceived levels of distress are totally subjective though.One man's apparent genuine upset is another man's crybaby drama queen. Innit?
(, Fri 18 Sep 2015, 15:45, Reply)
Yes, my argument that partial, personally identifiable information posted in a "public" place about me being a rapist, or collector of child porn is a targeted attempt at causing alarm. And that any "reasonable person" as mentioned in the act would agree.
(, Fri 18 Sep 2015, 15:56, Reply)
And how was it 'personally identifiable'?Or yes, that's right, you posted your name here - numerous times.
Nice one.

What about this postb3ta.com/questions/offtopic/post2545629
That limits the accusation to a single office where there were two statisticians working?

I'm not following your logic here.How do NHS Direct statisticians come into it? Oh wait a minute, you told everyone that too.

What are you even banging on about.You're saying I should have kept all personal information about myself secret at all times, because I should have had the foresight to know that someone would use that information to post accusations of child abuse against me in the future? And that it isn't in fact a problem that someone is posting specifics about my life with accusations of serious crimes.
(, Fri 18 Sep 2015, 16:27, Reply)
Yes, that's PRECISELY what I'm saying.FFS it's not fucking rocket science. You went onto an anonymous website and gave away personal details - name, town, occupation - and now you're bleating that someone has taken the piss using those very details that you provided.
I'm sure that if you do report this 'harrassment' to the authorities you'll be given quite a patronising lecture normally reserved for 12 year olds.

That's strange, I didn't get a lecture, I got asked for more information and to record as much as I can.(, Fri 18 Sep 2015, 16:42, Reply)
Oh I see, so they just went off shaking their heads saying 'what a fucking naive fanny' instead?If the authorities are already on the case, then what are you still whining on about? Surely the miscreants will be caught and dealt with appropriately? I'm not sure that further whinging is really necessary.

No, they were perfectly calm and professional. I'm answering your questions. Or replying to people asking about it.

Putting personal information on here is like a girl going out and getting drunk in a short skirtI think we can guess what "linking that personal information to serious crimes and using it to find phone numbers for harassment" is in this analogy.
Stop victim-blaming, you monster.
