cyberstalking

[havanagila]

This morning I had a meaningul exchange of emails with one of the participants of this board with some meaningful info in MY email. about 10 minutes later, someone who 'stalks' me via my blog posted an intimidating 'backtalk" not so related to my post, with innuendos that scare me. this is not the first time he has been doing that, and I suspect this person has access to my pc/email whatever. <br>Just for my mental equilibrium, i would like to note that here, and say he has been calling himself michael bergman, saying this is alias, writes in a brittish dialect of English, possibly an immigrant (occasionally drops a few lines in hebrew, but says its hard cause he has no hebrew keyboard); says he lives in the far east, somewhere (but that could also be a lie, who knows). his email bergmanmichael@gmail.com <bergmanmichael@gmail.com><br><br>The way he scares is by writing a silly long letter, in which he would say he visited that place or another (where I used to live) or quoting sayings to the extent of "speak only when the time is right" or other such implying I should shut the f...k up.<br>--<br>any advice ?<br> <p></p><i></i>

In our experience we have known some posters on boards like this, that write "silly long letters" that actually made no sense. What the DID do, though, was camoflage the inclusion of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and triggers. Sometimes they would arrive as private emails, too.<br><br>Keep your shields up. --MaryK <p></p><i></i>

There is a Michael Bergman who lives in Canada but is a lawyer for the Falun Gong. That kinda got my attention. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/12/14/16773.html">clearwisdom.net/emh/artic...16773.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>I instinctively don't trust Falun Gong, but know little about them. They "feel" too much like other groups I do know more about.<br><br>I read his reply on your blog and didn't see anything disturbing. But I couldn't read the hebrew article.<br><br>Finally, it's not THAT easy for a private person to get someone's email. But is there anything ONLY in the email that he's indicated knowledge of? It's good to be cautious but think if there's other explanations. <p></p><i></i>

hey thanks for reponse<br><br>I don't think its that lawyer, though I wouldn't know (falun gong is a reactionary movement in china, they probably don't deserve death, but the western government have been using that case, cynically, for their own ends, and playing on the emtions of navie, new agers, who think this is just some tai chi, which it isnt). he presents himself to me as kind of enterpreneur, roaming around the world, he had mentioned silver trade, and that he cohabitates/married to an oriental lady. He said that this is not his real name, but close enough (whatever that means). He's been in contact with me for the last 8 months first via the blog and then later via emails (which I lost in the last "deactivation" of my Yahoo. account, never resumed, no answer from the customer service lady whom I called long distance from sirael several times and left messages to). <br>--<br>In the (very very long) emails, he suddenly mentioned once that he stayed in an island in canada (where I spent a few months)...sort of coincidence ? its not a huge island, but who knows, right ? i never said I was there. and then he said he cannot say much more about who he was. <br><br>This last response in my blog, he refers to me as "hi tali" (that's not my name, and he is not careless, there is a mention there of an Israeli prisoner who was charged with treason for allegedly having some relations with a palestinian guy and translating stuff for him from hebrew..a wierd case btw). You'd have to understand that the last of our exchanges I was very explicit telling him to bug off and stop writing emails or backtalks...this was a few months ago and he was gone ! the fact that he wrote 10 minutes after a very special email...is in itself stalking, because following our emails, I told him I think he is a spook, or else he'd say who he was, and he never responds to any other blogger), and to stay off my email/blog. and he did. so what happened ?<br>--<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
