Why not just reply back and then block straight after. Saves any hassle and yet you stay polite.

Some fantacists enjoy role playing on the internet. It is a relatively safe environment compared to the real world.

Stalking and harassing online may not be nice, but if you enjoy playing that game, it is relatively harmless online.

As for desperation, remember that some people may actually want to appear desperate and unattractive. It is an image thing, which may indicate that in real life they are the complete opposite. On the internet, you can be who you want to be, which quite often can be who you are not.

It takes two people to play a game of stalker and stalked. Ask yourself what role you are playing, and what you could do to change the game.

For example, what would happen if you reversed the situation? Would the stalker get the message?

I have to agree with what's already been said, the block button works wonders ! Not that I get harassed that much anyway, I will rephrase that I don't get harassed at all on here as I don't get PMed on here much.

"Harmless" for the stalker - unless the police manage to track his/her IP address....otherwise they get away with a mere PM/msn telling them to bug off - which prolly gets their rocks off anyway - or they simply get blocked, and move on to the next victim....no harm done (to the stalker), yes?

Wish I was stalked....

Swansong, you are tall blond and 19?..wait, where is Rutland?

I know Southampton, I grew up there, eastside. Been to the Hobbit recently? What about the Bent Brief?
