Let's hear from the "stalkees"

[The Only Real Estel]

Eomer, lol, what would we do without you, die of boredom? Or praise that you're gone and we now can't be manipulated by your psychological tricks?

Knowing Eomer, he would have us under his psychological power even from the grave .

Just a query...how does one know if he or she is being stalked online?

No technical means available, observation skills at your disposal - if you are on an X thread, which you just dug up from some dusty archives, and in 10 minutes time several other users are seen as 'reading X thread', that is the surest sign you are being followed around.

To be fair, it does really involve alot of observation skills being used, though - you just keep a-refreshin' that 'Whose Online' page and it's all dandy. I mean, this is stalking where you really do need to put your back into being stalked, y' know: takes some effort

I'm not sure that is the only deduction one can make, HI. Is it not possible that people see the newly retrieved thread name in Who's Online, find the thread name interesting, and go read the thread? Especially so in your case since you have a reputation for finding old jems.

I think it would take repeated episodes of such events, and repeated over the most
inane or uninteresting threads, to rule out the possibility that it is the thread rather than the stalkee that is being pursued. Or do I not understand this 'stalkee' thing?

I stick with the easiest way of knowing: outright confessions by the stalkers.

Well yes, to take the alternate route...
