Advice from Oldies/E-mail related?

Hey Ya'll OK, Got a little "creeped out" by a Poster on the boards. Started dropping me e-mails about how once I started losing the weight I'd see life clearer and such. Sort of- "You're newly Post-Op And once you can start to feel the effects of your decision..... Blah, Blah, Blah..." I responded and let them know that I'm Below Goal Weight and have been for coming up on 9 months now, Did the usual (See Profile) And they responded with the same sort of "Were all butterflies and once you're free from you obesity....blah.." WTF? They even did the - "Well, I'm sure you're new here at OH....blah,blah" (*insert scary twilight zone music here*) And all of this is coming from someone who I swear I Don't remember from the boards. They have no face, no profile, claim to be Way Post-Op, So naturally I'm thinking - Joke? Troll? But the Name does seem vaguely familiar. So, I'm sure with all of the folks out here Who've been coming to the place for a while Surely someone has accidentally Picked up a Stalker/Spook? What did you do? This is a first. I've had some - "We'll agree to TOTALLY Disagree" folks But this is the first time I've felt like- "Eeek! Boiling Pet Rabbit on the Stove!!!!!!" (Glen Close reference for those who miss the movies of Kirk Douglas....) Help? Ideas? Best Wishes- Dx

wow Dx ... I did get the "Michael" Douglas movie reference (but I do like Kirk's movies too!) ... that is very odd ... either its April Fool's Day somewhere, or yep, you've got a live one! "I will not be IGNORED DAN" ... Working in radio for several years, I've had my share of "scary situations" ... I don't know what to make of this though ... have you seen any of their other posts? Karyn

or maybe it's a newfangled virus?

Karyn, I did a search To look back at posts. And The Posts seem to vacillate between Those that are very condescending to newbies And some odd random shots- Like telling Stalker Val She needs a new picture because hers is so Bad it makes her look scary. Oh Yeah! My eyes did a little pop But Val just sent back a And moved on. She's a sweetie! Radio? This had "Play Misty for Me" Written all over it! Best Wishes- Dx

ewww Dx ... "Play Misty for Me" hits a little too close to home actually ... thanks ... hope you can handle your new "friend". karyn

ACK! YIKES! My e-mail center has controls whereby I can insert an e-mail address and block that address/person from sending me e-mails. They may have other accounts and you'll just have to keep adding those as well. Otherwise, the worse thing that you can do is ANSWER their e-mail. It's attention and a reaction from you that they seek. Don't statisfy them! KWIM? Best to you, ~Vanessa~

Vanessa, Thanks for the tips. I'll check out what "blockers" I have available. I just started deleting after it occurred to me- "Crazed!" I've gotten those- "You think you're so..blah,blah blah..." Sorts of hate mails before But these were just sort of creepy... See you 'round the boards! (do e-mail me Dan's e-mail address, I'd love to drop him a line and wish him well. Katrina is still a big ole disaster after the press has gone. Some folks in Mississippi still in tents this Christmas, Louisiana too I bet) Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Dx, Definitely block them on your e-mail. They'll lose interest and move on. There are some weird ones out there! Linda

Linda, I may have to go in to my OH set up And swap it to a new e-mail Account. Maybe a hotmail or some such... Pain in the .... But...worth it I suppose. Best Wishes- Dx

What a horrible person. !! To poke fun at someone's picture. That is completely unsupportive. They shouldn't be on the site. Sorry, but I feel that this site needs more supportive and positive influences. Anyone who seriously pokes fun at another member's photos should receive a warning from memberservices. That is totally uncalled for. I wish you would report this incident and those to you too, so that they (memberservices / moderators) can monitor this poster. Good Morning !!! Happy Holidays !!!
