The Fart sent me a PM

I know I'm way behind, but I think your response is perfect!

It makes me really sad for her students and people who may look up to her.

Shit that does sound really stalker-y. I just got a really bad feeling about her and covered my bases. I've had some things happen in the past that makes me follow my gut instincts when I sniff trouble. I really don't encourage people to go all crazy. And I'm not acting on anything I just had this weird twinge and so I did a JIC.

Can y'all delete my quote? I'm taking that info down. I went too far.

Edit: I used to have a blog and just based off little info I ended up with a stalker. They kept posting with info that the police later found useful and now I know what to look for. That person ended up raping someone else that they had been obsessing about on the Internet. Scary shit.

That is very scary. I'm glad that you were ok, but sorry for the person that wasn't. It is super easy to find things about people these days. Especially, since she has a big ole pic of her and her H up on her siggy...google image search is easy! I learned about being able to do that from TB.

It's really crazy. I mean I know that 99% of the time these things DO NOT happen. But there is always that 1% and that experience makes me so much more aware of when I need to write something down, JIC. I hope none of you ever go through that. Just a PSA: change your username for every website you use. There are way too many ways to find people online now.

So since she sent two more PMs does it get her banned now?

I used to work in a law office and it was incredibly easy to search for people using their names and birthdays...and since The Fart included that information on her u/s (Daja Thomas 11/26/1984) someone who has access to said searches could afford us her address. I would personally love to send her a glitter bomb.

Also, I love how she is able to excuse her own remarks, but not the innocuous ones made to her. What a piece of work.

What did she PM you about? I feel like you've been one of the nicest.

Nope, no PM for me.... I think. I'm mobile. But I counted two more after Kmart, no?

I called her out on that info and that she should edit her pic but I must have been blocked cuz she never responded or maybe doesn't care!

There's a case being built. It might take some time but I think it's probably inevitable that she'll get banned.

Oh hell, yes. I'm primarily transactional/corporate now, but had a litigation stint in my first years of practice. One Lexis Accurint search with name and birthday can yield:

-All known past and likely current addresses, noting verified utility connections;
-Drivers license information;
-Partial social security number;
-Real property and loan information;
-Car and title information;
-Known relatives (you could likely uncover mother's maiden name)
-Bankruptcies/litigation.

It's scary (albeit, helpful if you're litigating) and I nearly shared this in the "FB debate." Needless to say, the birthday listed on this site for me is fake.

ETA: I don't propose using the tools - I just agree, it's scary. It's scary how that information can grow.

Sometimes I'm shocked with how readily people give out info on TB. From all the GTKY's (age, name, location), marital status, LO's names and birthdays, pics,.. etc. its so easy to find people. It's a public forum meaning anyone can get that info, so you never know who is looking. I deleted all my content and account for many reasons, privacy was one of them. Eek, creepy.

There was a GTKY about a month ago where OP literally asked like 15 questions. Some were REALLY revealing, like it wouldn't take a genius stalker. AND PEOPLE REPLIED! I was like WTF? So sad. Seriously.

So I have been MIA. Baby with a stomach flu and then DH and I got it. THANKS BABY.

She sent me a pm as well. All she did was genuinely apologize and admitted she shouldn't have attacked me? Weird.

I think she is delusional.

Sorry everyone is sick. Hopefully you all get better soon!

That's super weird. I mean, I'm glad you got a real apology, but still.... weird.

She's psychotic.
