Just decided to make all of my Posts from a former MIP member that was asked to leave, for some reason, she has picked me (lucky me) to just keep emailing, I have asked in a nice way, and then I have asked her in a not so nice way, that she stop commenting on my Posts, she sends me a Grade like Approval, or not Approval of whatever it is I am writing about.
I have just saved them all, will gather them together and send them to John, the founder of this Board, but really don't know if anything can be done to prevent someone stalking anyone in Cyberspace. Today I will go back and do a "Right Click" so no further emails can come in, they will be blocked. I have been told that she also writes a lot to John regarding her feelings about others on this Board.
So, my point in Posting this is to ask if any other are being annoyed in this manner, please write to me or John, just to let him know, o.k.
jeannie means an 'endocrinologist'. that's a long word.
I'm using this old e-mail and reply just cuz it's easier. It reminds me of your negativity in private,,, but I don't take it personally, cuz it comes from somewhere inside you. As AA says, if someone is upset and negative like that it is a problem with their recovery. but it is past now. I'm doing fine. God bless you
Amanda, as of today, you will be in my Spam file, and in reference to my being negative, possibly it might have something to do with your actions,Ya Think?
I am so truly sorry that you have been bothered by this. I do hope that you will be left in peace now. Thank you so much for the warning, but I haven't been annoyed by anyone on this wonderful board. But, thank you.
Take care,
Carol

Well it is a phase thing, first I felt angry, tried to take action, no response, then I finally reached a point of just letting it go, kind of makes me almost chuckle when I see them come in. But will no longer have the Problem, as I put this email address in Spam Filter folder, and my mail will Permantly Delete, after filtering. So, I will no longer need to see any such thing, and that is a good thing, and I'm sure she will continue to Read and Judge me, and all the others here too, but my feeling on that is if she has nothing better to do with her life, I just no longer have an opinion. Prayed that I would let it just go, and Poof, my Higher Power took care of it.
Hey Toni, glad you finally posted what was going on. Hopefully it will be dealt with, firmly, now. Hard to keep zeroed in on what we are doing here---she was removed from this board for the very reason of the negativity and stalking, so can't believe she took it so far. Bless you for standing up to her. Love Wren

Well it is just like Phil stated, the best reaction, is NO reaction. That's where I am coming from. Much more to do with detaching than standing up to anyone. Good ole Powerlessness here.
Makes this whole Cyberspace thing feel real creepy, when you think about who, and anyone, and I mean anyone can read all of our rather intimate at times, Posts. If I really ever gave a lot of thought to this above feature of Cyberspace, I would leave and never, ever come back.
I believe it takes courage to detach. The very act of detachment is a form of standing up and protecting ourselves against negativity. I used to think that if I detached, it meant that I didn't "feel" anything in that direction anymore, so detaching was almost like saying "abandonment" to me. Then I realized I could seperate myself with integrity, still care, just not be swept away any longer by people places and things. I can now step back and allow the course of things to happen without being emotionally battered. To me, that is a show of strength and faith in my judgement to detach in the first place, does that make sense? Being true to ourselves comes in alot of guises...wren

Scary individual....once private messaged me, after I had posted my picture on this site, that I shouldn't do that, because there were all kinds of wierdos out there on the internet, who might start stalking me.............whoa!....now, I think I understand what she meant.....Yeeeeeeks!(shudder)........
Sorry you had to put up with that Toni, but also glad that I have the same option to block emails if it starts happening to me.

Let em read! p.s. - is amanda hot? I could do some stalking. When I was a kid, I got a job night stalking at a grocery store. I think they fired me.
You can block her, you can spam her and if worse comes to worse you can change your address. Just my share at this moment in time.
Later - Jeannie
P.S. Amanda - if you have something to say about me/to me/ for/against me/ I would appreciate it if you would deal with me, not anyone else. Leave Toni alone. Please tell me Amanda, what has Toni ever done to you to entitle you to treat her in this manner??
Later - Jeannie

Thanks for your support, and more than that, I was hoping you would read the contents of that last email from her, it had nothing to do with me, just glad that you and I are not spinning out of control, in that Co-dependant Hell from long ago.
Good to see you Jeannie, and hope you will keep us Posted on Med. Stuff. We all LOVE you Sweetie, and had a hunch when I sent you that PM, that you PM bin, was on full tilt, with responses.
And so happy that it was just some rather thoughtless nurse (keeping the real words out of this Post) that set off that horrific fear in you.
Maybe someday you could write to her and tell her how her "lack of attention" made you feel.
