harassment

Hey, PhD dude. For one, two phone calls don't make a case for harrassment. Second, you haven't proof who it was, so you should take it up personally with WCF if you think it's him, and not start shouting allegations.

Lastly, posting personal information is a bit dim, and you invite all manner of strangers to your door if you leave a trail.

So quit bleating and start looking after yourself.

how many?

 

The last members who were getting harrassed (albiet by a non-member) left the boards. Unfortunately, there is no proof as to who called you in this instance and, as has been pointed out, revealing your personal information available for all on the web to see merely invites problems.

:m: Peace.

 

it's pretty obvious it's fetus

but you're right and it's a shame.

you see, scientists discuss science openly, and don't hide behind anonymity.

i've been to many scientific meetings and proudly presented my data for peer review.

and here, you presumably have a forum for discussing science but in reality the forum is dominated by white supremecist racists, neo-nazis, creationists, pimply-faced fat teenaged anti-socialites bitter and venomous from their lives, failures, and societal rejections.

pretty pathetic

 

its a co-worker or perhaps a student, perhaps your just an easy target in RL

 

My personal data is wide open on the net being a scientist. It is unavoidable. My work email is on every paper, and so is my address.

Then we had the nice incident that the administrator of another forum displayed all my personal data on his and this forum.

Since then I can't be bothered to hide anything. People shit you over if they really want to anyway.

But shitting over people in this manner is just plain wrong. Of course in this case we don't know exactly who was it, but there are some ideas floating around on the identity of this person, which seem reasonable. There is no proof of course.

 

Oh come on now. Don't get mad.

I suggest you get yourself a hard, heavy baseball bat (or brass knuckles, that works too, any sort of substantial blunt weapon) and the address of whoever is pissing you off.

Then just find the guy.
Bow politely and say "I seek the honor of paying you back for minor grievances, [whatever the moron's name is]-san."

Beat the living *$@& out of the moron, but make sure you don't make any head or neck blows (too much of a chance for a fatality).
Bow politely.
Leave.

And then pop open a few beers and watch some porn. It's all good.

Of course, you could do it the sissy way and go through with lawsuits and all that jizz ... I mean jazz ...

I think you nailed it on the head Paul. Popular forums become majorly populated by the disaffected.

 

Then do something about it. Get the call traced/blocked, or get caller ID and don't answer when whoever calls.

Recently my house has started getting up to 10 calls a day by telemarketers, if anything's harrassment, that is. I don't know how they all suddenly got my number

but if caller ID doesn't show who's calling, I and my family usually don't answer. Problem solved.

 

If it was at your work then ask the "Tech" guy to see if all the called numbers are stored in a database of any sort.

 

Tsk. Always such drama.

Look, yeah, agreed -- it was shabby. But look at it this way: you should be having the last laugh. Obviously, whoever the caller was, he/she was not in the least interested in chatting with the renown scientist Armstrong otherwise they would have... uhm, chatted, right? Evidently, you were being "checked into" -- to your face and incognito, which *is* a form of intimidation, really. Cheap, I think. BUT ...and this is where you should be laughing... now they know you are who you say you are.

 

Paulsamuel,


I HAVE read your opening post BEFORE I asked you why *exactly* you presented this harrassment issue here.


And quite frankly, this:

is self-victimization to me.


I would understand if a 13-year old girl would ask such questions. But not a man with a doctorate.

I think you're playing stupid here, because your ego was hurt.

 

Then, didn't you understand what you read? The reason was quite clear.

 

Then, didn't you read what I wrote to you in the previous post? The explanation was quite clear.

 

no it's not.

you're just being a bitch.

you asked why post here, and, as i said in the original post, it's to get opinions on how other people would deal with the situation.

then, as i referred you back to the original post, you apparently still didn't understand, then it struck me, you don't want to know. you just are being a bitch.

so, be a bitch, if it makes you feel better.

sheesh!

 

She's not being a bitch, she's asking a simple question. Even if you don't understand the question or think she doesn't understand your answer, doesn't make her a bitch. I can see what she's saying, it is self-victimisation. I'm sure you didn't get a PhD by asking others what to do every time you got an unpleasant surprise. Do something to solve the problem instead of complaining about it.

 

i never complained once, not even once

what the fuck are you talking about?

she is being a bitch, i gave a simple answer to which i got this crap;

my ego was never hurt, where'd she get this crap?
