There is this guy, we used to be friends. He started saying some really weird stuff about a girlfriend of mine so I informed her of it. She chose not to believe me and ended our friendship over this guy. (this is all online BTW) Since then I have not had any contact with these two people until very recently.

The ex girlfriend of mine was on a mutual friends account with their permission doing them a favor. Not knowing this I sent this person a msg and found out it was the other person. I quickly ended all types of conversation but there was enough of it that she had figured out that it was me.

She then informs the man who was saying things about her that such and such is the name I was useing on this IM and I start to get haraasing tells from him. He is telling me that someone said I said somehting about him, but I didn't. So I do try and figure it all out before I finaly just put him on ignore.

I speak to the person who the harassing guy told me that said I said these things about him. The friend doesnt know what's going on and we both conclude the guy is delusional. The friend, who is also friends with this guy, is trying to find out the answers for me because he is just as clueless as I.

Like an idiot, I send the harassing guy a msg asking him what he was upset about because our friend didn't know what was going on either. The harassing guy gets all insulted that I don't believe him. The tells me to leave him alone before I get in over my head. A clear threat from a delusional person. I am payig it no mind though. I since put this person on ignore on this msg text because he can't be reasonable.

Has anyone else been harassed? How did you deal with it?
 
Purrde, I'm honestly too tired to read anything above: Has anyone else been harassed? How did you deal with it?


Yes, i've been harrassed online. Twice, actually. How did I deal with it. I put the harrassers on block/ignore on all messengers, boards and email. Then I ignored them. It worked like a charm.
 
Let it go..

Keep a copy of the implied threat, and if that little toad bothers you again, let him know you'll report it. That usually ends the situation.
 
After readint this twice I think I'm less confused than I was before. lol



If it was here I would put them on ignore, block then delete them from msgrs.


If it was in my chat.. it's a bit harder to ignore someone. We don't really have an ignore feature that actually works. lol

I have been harrassed by two people online.. one male that I had been with who hacked into my computer and into someone elses whom I care for very much, and one female.

I told both off.. and sometimes it takes a lot to get my southern hissy fit going, but when it does watch out. ;-)

Good luck on dealing with your bothersome couple.
 
I hope your girlfriend is allright. I never understood girls who willingly get involved with someone who threatens thier friends. Just becouse he's not threatening her *right now* doesn't mean it's going to happen. People don't change so quickly. If she's really your friend respect her wishes but keep an eye out for her anyway. Don't let internet threats get you down. They are the words of weak men.

The ex girlfriend is pretty deserate for attention from the male sex. She is around 40 years old and stays on an online game ALL day long. Maybe I should have kept my nose out of it and let it go. But I don't feel my (ex) friend should be treated like that by anyone.
 
Ignore them. The temptation is always there to respond and defend yourself, but they can only bother you if you let them, especially in an on-line situation.

My diet was going to consist of a piece of pie a day. But hey, that's ok. Starving is a good thing, right?

It's ok, I was just yanking your chain. Honest. You get extra hugs tomorrow for being a sport, if you want them.
The lesbians of Austin will feed me well while I am there and that is the HONEST truth.
 
Hi Purrde,

Sounds like you've done your duty and tried to warn your friend. Now give her some space. Sometimes people just have to find things out for themselves. Hopefully she'll get through it unharmed.

I think I'd be pretty wary of sharing accounts with anyone. Better to keep it straight whose talking to whom and so on.
