There are plenty of RW-trolls posing as BS supporters here at DU, so I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that "stalker" is one of them. This is what they do - divide in order to divide and conquer. WE are the ones being alert-stalked. That became all too clear when Skinner lifted the ban on unfairly banned members and it were Hillary supporters who were happy to be back and were welcomed back and no such event happened on the other side.

These people do go to great lengths to get a Repub into the White House, don't they? Can't win on their policies (since you can't win by telling people you haven't done anything for the country for decades and you'd like to cut their earned benefits in favor of tax cuts for the rich), so they have to go into the gutter.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling SheepShank's mental health into question is OTT! This is a TOS violation. What a disgusting post. Hide it!

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 13, 2016, 10:27 PM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yeah, an inappropriate personal attack.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The mental health accusation takes it just across the line from obnoxiously condescending to over-the-top.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yes, enough of the mental health must be damaged if you don't agree with me nonsense.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

delusional, methinks! Either that or someone is playing a very nasty joke on that poster. If this is actually happening, he(?) should send the "stalking" messages to the Admins who can verify them and hopefully PPR the sender(s).

But it sounds to me more like someone is trying to smear HRC supporters on DU. Period.

It is not HRC supporters who go into the SBS group and alert-stalk; it is demonstrably the converse. So I find it highly unlikely that any HRC DU supporter is so unhinged that as to virtually persecute anyone on DU - or anywhere else for that matter. JMO.

I'd need to see the letters, as Bravenak showed us, and hear that the admins have been notified and further actions taken, as Bravenak did.

Further, I think his accusations of alert stalking are ridiculous. Looking through his hidden posts, I see a lot of gratuitous and nasty insults of other posters, and very, very sick photos that he posted and that needed to be hidden.

Also, in a post complaining about being contacted through snail mail, the poster pretty much gives his address, kind of begging to be contacted through snail mail, though I don't believe anyone here has done that to him.

The comment that his life is not worth anything is also worrisome.

Till some reason is given to believe this poster, I will believe that this poster is looking for attention in a very sad and disturbing way.

With pictures of the actual letters, support from DUs AA community and good-hearted people from all members, the police were called and Skinner notified, as I recall Bravenek was called a liar and hounded, alert stalked until she lost her voice here.

I would suggest to that poster that they take the same steps Bravenek did, notify Skinner, call the police.

One of our repeat racist trolls know my name and my husbands first name--not sure how he got my husbands name. I haven't got any mail though.

the hidden post that included of a dead body. Why oh why could that have been hidden

Sending letters and stalking on other forums is out of bounds. Really. People need to get a life. The sparring is all in good fun here, but if you feel the need to find to communicate with people off of the forum who do not want to interact with you, get some help.

But if you seriously want it to stop, don't post your given name and city on an open forum. That could be construed as a cry for attention.

I can't imagine why anyone supporting the winning candidate would threaten a person who is following the loser. What would be the logical point?

Therefore, one must assume that one of them is lying. Either the OP or the person emailing them is lying. In that case, why would I care which one or why?

Some one accused me of having a special tool this last week that allowed me to post fist on a thread. Then they thought I was stalking them. It had me rolling on the floor but it indicates that they are feeling defeated and are looking for attention.

Not sure about anyone else here, I don't have any desire to stalk anyone and furthermore I spend time on issues not on who is posting.

I have no sympathy for Bernie supporters complaining about hides because they are the biggest abuser for using hides on the Hillary sites. Luckily, as Bernies chances decrease, they are trolling less often.

I posted about Bernie aiding Trump by his continuing criticism of Hillary and was out for three days. And one of the jury members stated he was tired of Hillary supporters anti-Semitism! Had no idea where that came from.

The poster of the article needs to get out more instead of spending all her/his time on the computer. The real world gives a refreshing perspective.
