    Default What is forum stalking?

    "According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), stalking is defined as “a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact, or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.”
    Considering most here are relatively anonymous there should be no reason to be fearful of another poster.

    There seems to be a lot of charges made by some people that they are being stalked here. So I wonder just what constitutes stalking here at JPP? If you and another person disagree politically and happen to reply to each other in a couple of the more popular threads is that stalking? Just wondering.


    Please be honest I really would like to know.

    I think its consistent personal attacks instead of political opinion or discussion.

    We have several posters who are ALWAYS vile and profane.

    I doubt there is any forum stalking in any forum...but especially not here in JPP, Grumpy.

    The pro-Trump/anti-Trump feelings run hot here...but "stalking" implies a degree of physical harm intended...and i cannot imagine that being the case.

    I hear some people claim others are "stalking" them...but my feelings always are: If you cannot take the heat, JPP is not the place for you.

    I don't think that's the answer that Chumps was looking for, Frank. According to his toxic whiny band of butthurts, merely putting a "thanks" on a post that's in reply to one of theirs constitutes "stalking." I kid you not. Start here and read down....

    No, I don't believe that there is such a thing as "forum stalking." To be honest, I don't take anything in this forum seriously at all. It's pretty funny, actually!

    This place would make for some great psychological studies, though!

    A better word would be harassment.

    I agree. "Stalking" would imply personal contact outside of this forum.

    Amen.

    None of this should be taken too seriously.

    I would enjoy meeting anyone from this forum for a drink or a coffee. The bullshit part is just that...pure bullshit. I hope everyone here is enjoying a decent, carefree, content life.

    You just have to laugh at the sad sacks who follow various ppl around putting "groans" on all of their posts. As if that's supposed to make them feel crappy or something. I guess if you cared enough you might consider that harassment.
