It makes me laugh when people say this on the internet. Yes he can. Thats what the internet is all about it's completely lawless and cannot be contained, just ask the people /b/ has gone after.

You stole a 20 year old's girlfriend when you were 27?

You sound like you are 12 years old.

What? She was a 21 yo busty blond ballet dancer. No problem there.

Some guy is accusing me of stalking and creeping on a girl that I actually talk to and hang out with. She's pissed at him, and he won't stop leaving me alone about it. I actually stole his gf about 2 years ago, and he's had it in for me ever since.

Can I get a restraining order or possibly sick the law on this guy? I know who he is. I blocked him on facebook, now he's harassing me on myspace. I blocked him there now, which resulted in him taking it to peoples pages. Totally childish I know, but it needs to stop.

haha yeah, call the cops and ask for a restraining order based on facebook and myspace harassment. Cops need a good laugh every once in a while.

wait, YOU stole someones GF? 😕

I know, it's rediculous, but the kid won't stop. I blocked him, but what he is saying is still showing up on other people's pages. I did report him to facebook, and myspace. The only reason I'd want to involve the cops is so he realizes he can't just sit behind his computer and slander people.

It IS childish, but I'm getting sick of hearing about it.

I am tempted to go to his work place and bitch slap him.

We're slandering you in this thread by calling you a little girl. Are you going to call the police on us?

OP, sorry man, but you're a tool.

Wait until some douche starts accusing you of stalking, harassment, and other goodies on a public forum, where your friends and people you know can see it.

He's not saying something like "Techboy sucks cock"

He's actually trying to go into detail about how I'm a stalker who wants to harass girls and possibly hurt them. But the girl he is using as an example has already told him to stop and there's no truth in what he is saying.

I would hope that my friends would recognize the slanderer's comments for what they are and ignore/disregard them. Drawing attention to him is exactly what he wants.

Go post some details about how you're planning to assassinate the president and see how "lawless" the Internet is.

(that said, the issue in the OP is pretty ridiculous.)

I agree. I'm just looking at someone posting bs about me where other people I know can see it. I'm trying to figure out how to either make it stop, or just not let it get under my blood.
 
hmmmmm.......we only have your side of it.....how do we know that he is lying?...maybe your lying.....invite him to join ATOT and tell us his side...we'll judge for ourselves......

 
Seriously, who cares. Are your friends not gonna be your friends anymore because of what this guy is writing? If not, then let it go.

Sound libelous to me. However, when I searched on "emails from an asshole" while verifying my repost, one of your previous threads came up. On that note, my sympathy is limited.

Oh yea, I'm not perfect. BUt I still don't deserve what this kid is saying.

Chances are that confronting him face to face might suffice. I don't know what the nature is of your relationship with this guy, whether he's a clean-cut professional or a gangsta in the hood wannabe. If it's the former, perhaps a face to face confrontation would get the job done. "Cease and desist, or I'll seek damages for your libelous actions" may be all that is needed.

Despite this taking place on the Internet, there ARE consequences for attacks like this. When someone explicitly seeks to damage your reputation and uses false information to do so, you do have recourse.
 
Just send him a Cease and Desist order certified mail. It'll most likely get him to shut the fuck up.
 
This is what you get for using Facebook, Myspace, etc. You're an adult, stop acting like a child. Those sites are for children.

I have professional contacts on Facebook, including clients. If someone carried out an attack against me like this on Facebook (and we're taking the OP at his word, here), it could easily cause a negative financial impact. It might sound whiny, but put yourself in his shoes. I know it's hard to take it seriously when it starts off with "so I stolez this boyz girl and now hez pissed at me," but it would still suck, nonetheless.

He works at pizza hut. He's a skinny dipshit. He might put some scratches on me, but my brother is twice his size and kicked my ass all the time. I can put up with it. My worry is I'd actually hurt the kid, because I won't just box. I'll freak out and choke a mother fucker. I'll defend myself until he's unconcious. Not just scrap until someone says to stop.

If anybody has read your long thread from last year, they would agree that you have stalker-istic tendencies.

I can be stupid. But this kid is explicity accusing me of taking it much farther. Almost all of the girls I've had problems with I've gotten close enough to make out with them. It's not like I don't know them and are peaking through their windows. The girl I had the worst problems with, I'm actually on really good terms and she actually apologized to me for making a big deal out of nothing, which is what freaked me out to begin with.

That's another story though and it's in the past.
 
ahahah i love your responses ATOT

Use LinkedIn if you have professional contacts that includes your clients.

Yes to LinkedIn. Do not use Facebook, myspace for business.
