Anyone seen Janesez lately?

[progmom]

I miss that Sox fan.

[Optimus Primestein]

1. She's gone. That's all I can tell you. That and it's permanent.

:cry: I miss her, too.

[progmom]

2. Well that's just terrible news

Really really sucky.




Poop.

[JimmyJazz]

3. Yes, it does suck when one is stalked to the point of leaving....

I dunno. Sad, though - I really liked her. :cry:

[DS1]

5. wow, missed that one

sure she didn't get a new nick?

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Do we both have lightbulbs going on?

I think I know the answer. And that sucks.

[JimmyJazz]

8. positive - she was stalked by someone and left - he posted her

real name and the name of her ex-boyfriend to a couple of threads - she left as a result.

[Bunny]

12. Does this have anything to do with the recent banning of a

longtime member?

[progmom]

14. Nope.

Though you did get my hopes up for a minute there.

No - the longtime member who was banned yesterday never struck me as cruel and vindictive. Just a little too much of a practical joker.

But he was certainly not friends with the aforementioned stalker.

[Cadence]

24. I know I wish the stalker was the one that was gone.

I just don't understand. :shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

16. No - it has nothing to do with Chavez.

They were friends.

[RagingInMiami]

10. Hey, I thought she liked me

I didn't mean to stalk her to the point of leaving.
:shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

13. Sweetie - you know it wasn't you - lounge stalking is one thing

especially by a cutie like yourself.

[RagingInMiami]

20. Aw shucks

:pals:

[Left Is Write]

53. Oh, that's awful.

I liked her too, and had been noticing her absence. I'd been wondering how she was doing. :(

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. She's not tombstoned...just checked.

Pissed off?

[JimmyJazz]

6. no.

she's gone.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Too damn bad.

:-(

[progmom]

9. A certain someone who considers himself lovable

Was making her life on DU miserable. I was certainly aware of that. I just didn't know she had decided to go away. That really makes me angry.

[gollygee]

17. Oh that's too bad

I hadn't heard that. I'm very sad about that :(

I hope that can somehow change . . .

[Wat_Tyler]

15. She had to leave - from what I understand she won't be returning.

Not under that name, anyway.

[RagingInMiami]

18. maybe she'll come back as simonsez

[JimmyJazz]

19. Nor under any other - she's gone.

And I know you don't want me to post her final pm to me.

[RagingInMiami]

21. I do

[Wat_Tyler]

22. Guess not.

I think I know what it's all about. I hope she has no further trouble.

[JimmyJazz]

23. I hope not, too. She's a nice lady and I miss her terribly.

She was very nice to me.

[pres2032]

25. i take it no one knows how to contact her outside of DU?

tell her that she has lots of support here?

[JimmyJazz]

26. I will let her know. I do know how to reach her.

[pres2032]

28. good, hope you can get her to come back

though i do doubt it.

[Cadence]

27. I miss her too. I liked her.

It really, really sucks! I wish it could have been different, she stayed and the "lovable" one left.

[JimmyJazz]

29. We'll see.

:hi: and :hug:

[Cadence]

31. Hey

right back at ya babe! :hi: :hug:

[LDS Jock]

30. I was just thinking about her

I didn't know she was gone or what happened. I really liked her. If you are reading this, please come back!

[JimmyJazz]

32. She won't - but I'll let her know that you were asking for her.

[jonnyblitz]

33. what a sad thing to read about.

why cant people just leave people ALONE. geesh. :(

[Cadence]

35. It's kind of like the Bush thing, where black is white.

Like being an asshole and then saying "I'm just a lovable curmudgeon" :puke:

[JimmyJazz]

36. Yeah - it's like that.

[Bunny]

39. Never mind.

[JimmyJazz]

41. He posted her real name and that of her ex - both were deleted.

I am not aware of any reprimands nor would I be privy to that information.

[Maddy McCall]

44. When did this supposedly happen?

When she was janesez or as catpower?

[JimmyJazz]

45. Within the past week - so I would say it was as Janesez.

And, it didn't "supposedly happen." I saw the posts with my own eyes.

[Orangepeel]

46. I hope somebody reported it to the admins

I don't have a clue what all this is about, but it is against DU rules to post identifying information about someone:

Do not post personal information about any other person, even if that information is publicly available. In addition, Democratic Underground does not condone or encourage efforts by individuals to "dig up" information about other visitors. You may post the public contact information for public figures, but you may not post anyone's private information without their consent.

[Maddy McCall]

48. Yes. If that really happened, whoever posted that would be banned.

Something fishy is going on.

[Cadence]

49. It happened and I don't know why

the poster hasn't been banned. A lot of us have been asking that question about things he has done and why he gets to stay. He attacked me when I first got here and I almost left because of him.
:shrug:

[RagingInMiami]

52. Well, I'm glad you didn't leave

[Maddy McCall]

54. Gotcha. So the point of this thread is more about pissing off...

someone who won't or can't respond by labeling him a "stalker" than it is about asking where another DUer went.

It's not very difficult to see through these things.

(Oh, and just for your knowledge, he did NOT post the name of the poster who left.)

[Cadence]

61. I was just responding to your question.

I didn't start the thread, and if asking why someone had to leave evolved into others expressing having the same feelings because of him.. it is what it is.

I think what's easier to see through is your response and reason for coming into the thread.

I don't appreciate your tone.

[Maddy McCall]

63. God some people need a life outside of DU.

I frankly don't give a shit whether or not you "appreciate my tone."

But, if someone is going to post inuendo about a situation about which I know more than the person doing the posting, damned right that I will come here to post the truth as it occurred WHEN I WAS HERE TO SEE IT.

You weren't here then, so you really know nothing about the situation except for the rumors you have heard.

What I find so funny is that people posting on the internet feel that they have been "stalked" just because someone they don't even know was not friendly to them. I would suggest finding a life beyond the internet instead of having your feelings hurt by some anonymous poster in cyberworld.

But that's just the way I see things.

[Maddy McCall]

47. Wow. Don't take offense with me.

I just asked a question. So, why was she banned under the previous name and her so-called "stalker" is still here?

Skinner is a very fair admin. I can't imagine the situation that led to that. :shrug:

[nini]

50. Good point

It's obvious the newbies don't know the whole truth to the whole story here.

[Maddy McCall]

51. Same thing I was thinking. They are just hearing DU folklore handed...

down by adversaries of certain DUers. And, like past generations of DU newbies, they feel it their duty to become engaged by "protecting" the person. I think it's more about wanting to be a part of the soap opera of DU than really caring about the past here.

If someone was so worried about a "stalker," then why would someone post in a thread started by supposed "stalker?"

[nini]

60. the DU soap opera! the best description ever!

I think we both know how persuasive some people are and how they can get others who really don't know any better to fill that 'protecting' role.



The truth is out there - too bad the archives aren't searchable right now :-)

[Maddy McCall]

62. Yep. But, just like with the Bev Harris crisis, some would rather believe

what they've been told than to read the past for themselves.

And you are right...it is ALL in the archives.

[JohnKleeb]

55. wait those two were one and the same

so my calucations were right.

[Maddy McCall]

56. YEP.

It's all coming together now, isn't it.

[JohnKleeb]

59. I really had no clue

[Amaya]

57. Yes, they were right

[JohnKleeb]

58. I really had no idea

[jonnyblitz]

37. I dont get the whole stalking thing...

does it go beyond actually 'wanting" the other person when they do stuff they KNOW must be creeping that person out? Maybe I am naive in my assumptions of why people pester people like this. :shrug:

[Cadence]

40. The psychology behind it is strange and disturbing.

It's difficult to understand and relate to for the average person. I think it centers on domination, fear and control.

I found this:

"Stalkers, who are often psychopaths, experience only low levels of empathy or an absence of it altogether. Their relationships tend to be sadistic, based in power over others. He said he believes that this is associated with a lack of early attachment to others in the family. Psychopaths are biologically predisposed to antisocial activity because they have a hyper-reactive autonomic nervous system. Crime or exploiting others excites them. That means they're motivated to do things that heighten their nervous system and have no real conscience about hurting others."

[jonnyblitz]

42. interesting

I appreciate you taking the time to find that and post it. It was pretty much what I thought was the reason after I pondered for awhile.

[Downtown Hound]

34. Oh no!

I don't know what happened but she was really nice. Nobody should be "driven" from DU. Tell her is she wants to come back, we'll be here to support her and we'll try and "deal" with any problems she has.

[mac56]

38. I'm really sad that she's gone.

Can't believe someone would be so vindictive toward her.

[JimmyJazz]

43. You may not believe it, but it is true.

She will be missed.
