A blog dedicated to education and awareness of Internet trolls and cyberstalkers.Cyber stalking is a growing problem with typical abusers being white collar workers without criminal records, according to the 2005 Cyberstalking statistics released today by Working to Halt Online Abuse.
Jayne Hitchcock, Working to Halt Online Abuse president, said: “They [cyber stalkers] can be teachers, lawyers, businesspeople, students, doctors, the kid who bags your groceries – online harassers and stalkers are not who you may think they are.”
She added that there is no sign that the distress caused by internet harassment was declining: “On average, we can see up to 50 cases a week. We don’t see cyberstalking going away. In fact, it is increasing every day, mainly due to the fact that more people go online for the first time every day. Currently there are over one billion people online worldwide – if only one percent become victims, that’s ten million people!”

I would like to warn anyone about a mad sad and sick troll. He is a active on topix.com under Slovakia. He has been banned from many forums. Real name Brian Jones aka, pesky, the real deal, abe, pesky the real deal, one and only pesky, lancet etc. He is thought to be an agoraphobic. Do not reply to him but if you are a student of personality dissorder you will get a lot of information via his posts.
Good luck and be careful.
