I don't understand why it's a big deal for people to know where you live. They can't find your residence unless they know your phone number or your whole name.

With only your first name, they still can't find your residence with it. I doubt you're the only one in the country with your name, same as city and you need to type in a last name to find that person anyway.


I don't know what the PMs looked like or what other questions the member asked you and how often he PMed you.


Yeah, maybe I am being paranoid, but lately I have been feeling paranoid and know there are people registering here on WP under various usernames to indirectly harass me (since early november) and I'm being spied on and harassed (being spied on IS harassment, no matter what you think, you know who you are).

This poster didn't send me any more PMs so I'll leave it at that.

The people who are spying on my do know my phone number, they have access to my address as well, and they're posting here.

That kind of paranoia is a good paranoia, and he has no obligation to tell whoever it is his name and location.

If someone is out of the blue asking you very personal details about your life, then i think yuo should stick to your guy instinct and ignore it. Or ask them why they asked. if they send you more PM's that are creepy then report it to a mod right away.

I just felt so creeped out that I started this thread, but turns out it was probably just another aspie lacking in tact, maybe deseperate for someone to talk to, I don't know.

Yipes. You do have a right to be paranoid. I think I'd be scared too if there were people after me.

Why are they spying on you?

True, he has no obligation, be there were probably kinder ways he could have let the person know that they were being invasive before assuming creepyness and stalkerhood.

I recently had someone decide I was a stalker because I googled her name (openly contained in an email she sent me) and read her blog, which was the first or second link that showed up. . . and then told her that I had, because, I don't know, it seems like the sort of thing one should mention. A blog that screaming at me for being a stalker is the first thing that currently comes up when you google her name.

Obviously, not my intent.
