Today I found that I had 5 long emails from an older member who lives in "the rust belt". I had not seen them previously which started on V-Day. He provided me with his phone number and demanded I call him.
After not responding to the first two messages he belittled me for living in a Red State and told me I would "never find a man here". Finally he told me that I didn't have any information on my profile that would interest a potential mate and that I needed to "put more on it".
Naturally I blocked and reported him. Just a FYI ladies not all men on here are sane. Good luck to all in your quest for love.
Lets pray for him. No, wait a minute...
Or, maybe throw some holy water on him......
Having read through all of these and also having been subjected to this special kind of delusional crazy....I feel it's time to have @Admin and @SiteSupport step in an at least WARN this guy if not suspend him.
His harassment of women is definitely a pattern and it will only continue and, perhaps, escalate.
Why do you say it’s definitely a pattern?
Never mind, I see the comments below.
There needed to be a whole lot of reporting going on. I posted a note in thread as to how to do that - maybe the folks here will see that?
That he outed himself in Senate may impact his longevity. One hopes.
He has less groups to harass members in tonight. I can tell you that!
Saw the username. Can confirm @SkotlandSkye's account (of having privately reported this guy, quite a while ago). I personally saw this user's posted porn to a group, on several occasions (and reported them of course). I observed elsewhere some curious short-tempered verbal badgering of another user--over basically nothing. And now this. The overall picture is a worrying one, and I am perfectly fine with "publicly outing", via username, the user in question here: the behavior goes beyond the pale in terms of creepy, stalkerish, borderline abusive, and sexually inappropriate, he's been reported (presumably many times), and he's still around being massively problematic. Until/unless this user is removed by the site, "duty to warn" is, IMO, in full effect.
WTF is it????
Why is his identity being protected?
Out the motherfucker.
@KKGator Moontiger. Mentioned several times already in this thread.
@stinkeye_a Sorry, I haven't read through the entire thread. I've just read the alerts I've gotten. None of which have mentioned the user's name.
Thank you.
Turns out I've had him blocked for a while.
I'd forgotten all about him.
Hope I do again.
@KKGator I forgive you
@stinkeye_a Thank ya. Thank ya, vurry much!
Yeah, I’ve gotten a couple of creepers. Incel types, if you will.
@Marcel3405 Yes, very odd to discover about it, but makes sense that it exists. With all the draconian laws in regard to sex (prostitution, etc) it's a wonder this is not a bigger issue.
@godef I doubt a change in laws would make a difference. Think about it, someone who wants a relationship but cannot establish a healthy one and has anger at others because of their own inabilities, that's psychological issues. Legalized prostitution wouldn't fix psychological issues.
@Dougl35534 I wasn't debating prostitution laws in particular, just attempting to add some clarity to the point I was making. That said, a lot of folks out there are always on the edge for some reason, healthy or otherwise, and many of the unnecessary and antiquated laws are not helping the situation. The so called war on drugs for example; we make it a crime to become addicted to drugs instead of answering to those very same psychological issues you allude to that lead to those addictions to begin with. Psychological issues should not be addressed with pithy laws.
@Dougl35534 You assume that those losers WANT relationship. All I ever wanted was sex...and legalized prostitution would have likely kept me from two bad marriages.
It's like that with most every dating site I found. Nut cases. I don't know why people waste time doing this.
He demanded you call him? "Here's my number. You will call me by 6:00p." I have to admit, I've never thought to try that approach. Probably never will.
That applies to women as well. It would seem that gender is no good indicator of quality or morality.
In my opinion the best way to handle these types of issues is to post the messages for all to read.
Unfortunately I blocked him. They were deleted ?
@Corvislover ahhh
Bummer...
@darthfaja his screen name is moontiger
@Corvislover As in all variations of the medical field,how do you disengage your thoughts about the cases you saw at night? Perhaps you lock away the disturbing sights and thoughts?
@Mike1947 I have developed excellent boundaries and coping skills over 25 years in the industry
@Corvislover Something I could never do,but I think I have the mind of an Engineer,resolving mechanical and electrical problems,not interfacing with a damaged mind to help with it's problems.
@Mike1947 it's good to have both traits.
There are some very sad twisted people out there.Whenever there is a mass shooting in the US the perpetrator invariably has some personality defect, is an introverted loner,has been indoctrinated by some weird ideology or something similar and yet they are given free access to firearms. Bizarre.
Just be grateful that this creep IS in a different state
"... and yet they are given free access to firearms." Yeah...damned Constitution!
@dahermit or you could read the case law that holds that it's not absolute and there are exceptions, kinda like why you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, which I'm sure you think is ok because it's only the !st Amendment. Meanwhile none of this has anything to do with idiots coming at the poster.
I noticed that you are a U.K. resident, not a U.S. citizen. Therefore, I do not recognize your credentials to comment upon U.S. politics and as someone who is so cheeky as to do so, I add you to my list of blocked persons. As the inventors of the concentration camps for civilians, and the subjugation of millions of persons in other countries, you lack credibility.
I have never been the victim of unwanted attention on this site (or other sites), so I can only imagine how creepy or scary it is for women. I guess there will always be a portion of the population that is deranged, but hopefully they are a small minority and their damage can be limited. I wonder if the message in this link would help to change their views and behavior.
Sad some of us don't realize that just because we want someone doesn't mean we can have them. No matter what our intentions, every woman has a right to say no (or nothing at all in this case). Sure sign of a boy not a man.
So sorry about that experience. I hope those encounters are rare.
"Report a douchebag or nut job" Group
Do it on the Main Page. Let everyone see it.
Some people have the wrong ideas about how to interact with other people....
Sedona is nice
Yes and so is Prescott
why wouldn't blocking him have been sufficient? vindictive?
i really couldn't care less but curious.
You haven't been a victim Apparently
@mzbehavin ,
wouldn't she have been totally defended if she never saw another one of his posts?
don't bother responding.
@Corvislover ,
OK, you were a victim. now i understand.
@callmedubious What about everyone else? If you can help out others, won't you? Every time I see a scammer profile I report it for the benefit of the community, why is this different?
@DoctoralZombie ,
you have a point..but there's a diff between a scammer & an old man who's maybe not very articulate..
OK maybe he was a dirty old bastard & deserved to be reported.
