parasites, psychos and stalkers

think long and hard, people, about what you put on your blog and what you tell people about yourself in person or on your blog. besides the obvious fact that big brother is listening/watching, there is also the fact that many people have no lives of their own to speak of, or something...some other undefined diorder or something missing in their lives, and will therefore mine yours for information. your stories, your facts, your identity and anything and everything else. some for vicarious thrills, some to grab ideas and use them for their own fodder, as they have nothing of interest inherent to themselves, and some people will flat out stalk you on the internet....find out one piece of information and using that, try to put together an entire profile on you, for what purpose i cannot say except the inevitable conclusion that it is some really psycho, fucked up cyberstalking. just because you put yourself on the net, you might not think you are inviting people into your home and life as much as some of these cyberthieves and stalkers might like to think. however, to these people, believe me, you have just extended a gilded invitation. unfortunately i know this all too well, firsthand. so BEWARE.
