My internet identity looks a lot better than it did 13 years ago. You should have seen it then. I had a particularly nasty cybersmearer/cyberstalker from 2002 through 2006 or so who had declared war on me for that period. I tried the FBI, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office (Virginia) to stop him but it went on-and-on. They knew him well it seemed at the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office as he was a defendant in some white collar and sexual harassment cases and always insisted on defending himself in these. We met on Findlaw where I tried to help him out back in 2002 but I did not figure out he was the man cyberstalking/cybersmearing me until 2004 or so. He used many names on there including mine. I could never figure out who hated me that much with the constant personal attacks. It turns out he was upset with me because I could not find him just the right case to get him off his white collar criminal case. Go figure.
He has not shown up on the Internet since 2008.
I am pretty sure I was not his only long term victim as he seemed to really enjoy himself and was extremely good at saying just the right thing to make me more and more upset.
At least, the wild wild west of the internet has been tamed except on Topix.com where you still see that kind of free speech at its worst.
Facebook is very good at allowing you to delete stuff posted against you and you can report stuff that is trolling or worse quite easily.
TOTV does a good job of moderating this forum and keeping the personal attacks to a minimum and does seem to take serious trolling as something to stop.
