Holy Shit. He posts among us.... Remember that thread I posted about that..guy...who sent me a message on Lava? Well, he's heeeeeere. And posting in threads where he's been mentioned.
Jeez, I missed that thread. Should have searched for one, I guess. I just found his response in that thread ten minutes ago. A friend of mine asked me last night to email him the text of DtL's Lava ad and email, and so I revisited the original thread to cut and paste stuff. Imagine my shock when I found DtL's post at the bottom.
um, guys? could you please stop calling him greek? he is greek-canadian! I could share the shame with someone else. aaand, greek women are nicer... just sayin'
I gave him a smoochy shoutout at the meetup last weekend. (see matildaben's photo set)
yeah, yeah, you don't have to rub it in, you know. He got shoutouted before I did. In the same Seattle meetup that everyone and his cousin did. oh! well. It's not that everything else works ok for me :-)
That's awesome, piesexactlythree. I looked at the entire slideshow and discovered that I also got my very first shout out complete with hearts. Thanks, Black8!
This is a little creepy, but probably no more creepy than 90% of what happens on the Intarweb. It seems worse when it intrudes on a place that has such a friendly vibe, though.
I wonder how a dose of tar and feathering would affect his love-making stamina?
What's everyone's best guess as to what made this guy what he is? Is it some fatal mix of Greek and Canadian culture? The neo-misogynist/egotistical attitude towards women combined with the weirdly entrepreneurial approach makes me think so.
That kind of "follower" makes me really uncomfortable, Orange Swan. In the past, I've been stalked by an internet admirer and assaulted. An admiring entrepenurial weirdo is scary, imco.
I admit I had my worries when I first saw that DtL had posted here, reflecked. My real name is on my user page and it's possible for him to track me down with that. But it's been a month since he found out and he hasn't so much as sent me an email, so I think I'm safe.
The stalker that tracked me down waited until he could "catch" me alone, Orange Swan. Stay safe, but in the meantime... :D do you know how to shatter someone's kneecap with a proper kick?
I'll try to watch out for anything suspicious. Still, I do doubt that he's psycho enough to come after me. Notice that when he posted here his focus was not on me - it was on using the threads as a medium for further advertising.
