WARNING. You will be spammed.
« on: December 22, 2001, 11:07:00 AM »
Apparently we have an individual amongst us who does not have the mental capability to separate online squabbles, disagreements or whatever you choose to call them from RL.

Since yesterday, my email address that I use exclusively here at AH has been spammed with over 1000 emails, with 642 arriving at once. An attempt at a pop lock, which, with the advent of broad band, didn't work. Naturally, that email address has been deactivated.

As I stated in another thread, my profession is law enforcement in the computer related field, specifically computer crimes. Now, I am aware that spam, in itself, is not "illegal", yet. However, the suspect fraudulently used my email address, which is illegal.

I have been in contact with the network used to spam me, but being aware of the ability to hide oneself behind walls, this case will consist of alot of work.

So. After much thought, I've decided not to pursue it any further. I'm not going to waste my time. I have the ability to separate what is said to me by an online persona from my everyday life. In all my years of online flight sims, I have never seen such an immature display of behaviour. I never thought that someone in our community would stoop to such an act.

Go back to your RPG or your quake or your UO or where ever you came from you jerk!

If it is somebody on this board then I would hope they had the balls to cop to it...  I recall in argos board how one ahole even threatened to turn other posters and staff over to the IRS and called their work.

 Guess the guy just couldn't refute what ya had to say apache.

Well... let me just add a little to this...

I started getting subscriptions to porn sites about a week or so ago- one's I "asked for"? It occurred right after a "discussion" with the same person, and I suspected what had happened. I kept quiet, because I figured sooner or later someone would say something, or there would be more to go on. Let's just say I completely believe you, Apache.

Apache, I'm no expert, but I was always under the impression that using those "e-mail nukers" was illegal. Any programs designed to clog up servers are illegal. Aren't they?  :confused:

Oh be quiet FlyingPillockSittingTwat.

---------------------------------------------

For once I have to say:  What DjV said.

That is really pathetic.  While I *am* one of the know loads about the net and can prolly help types, I suspect Apache doesnt need any.  

Apache, if you know who it is spread his name around so we all know who not to give 6 calls to.

Now I understand how OJ Simpson roams the streets of LA looking for victims.

Unfortunately, I don't have a tight fitting glove to prove my innocence.  :mad:

US justice system...huh!

p.s. I don't own a black cat and I don't whiz around on a broomstick at night.

Sucks to be you.

 Then again, it's been that way since day one of your arrival here.

FDSS-

Who ever brought your name into this? I certainly didn't. Neither did Apache. If you read carefully you would know who we are both talking about. It isn't a great big secret. The answer lies in another thread.

You should seek help for that persecution complex you have, nonetheless.

If there was ever a poster boy for a backwater, undereducated, simple minded, slightly more evolved monkey, but much less evolved man, dildo of a person.... "FreakinDoltStupidtoejam" would be it.
