Oh goodness!  Some people never cease to blow my mind.  Just when you think something is over, it never really is.  Well at least not in this case.  I use reCAPTCHA which is free software to stop spam bots to hide my e-mail address that I have set up for this blog.  I get enough spam messages as it is, who needs more?  Anyway that being said, I have quite the following of readers (thanks guys!) and do get the odd e-mail from time to time about various things/compliments/asking for advice on something or whatever.  I don\’t mind that at all, unless its something utterly ridiculous such as this. I also love calling people on their BS 🙂 However this time, I\’m not going to bother responding privately because its just SO utterly bogus (not to mention exceptionally amusing to me) so I thought I would share in the nefarious glee that I have in doing so with the rest of my dear readers.  Normally I wouldn\’t bother to stoop so utterly low, but this guy is a psycho-pathetic ass who obviously reads my blog (otherwise how would they have my personal e-mail?) also seems like he doesn\’t want to let go.  So to protect my own interests, I decided against it.  I also created an e-mail just for my blog which I should have done in the first place (ah well live and learn right?)  Besides this is pretty damn funny (at least to me) and well hey why be selfish and keep this all to myself?  Not only that, this isn\’t the first stalker I have had and I somehow doubt he\’ll be the last…

Hi Steph,
I found your blog about this Eric… Very intersting…
On which dating site have you met him? When your date with this stranger was suppposed to be? The picture you posted is not him.
To make a long story short, I dated this guy for a few months now and as I have not much information about him I was googoling in order to learn more and found you blog. Tell me more please..

thank you,
A.

OK so the original post in question is private (for now) Interesting facts that make this email WRONG on so many levels and how I smell a fake in all of this:

1. The spelling mistakes!  Holy Christ use spell check.  Why is that a tip off?  The rather exorbitant amount of errors  in his text messages to me.  OK in all fairness English ain\’t that guys first language, but still.  SPELL. CHECK. It comes with every browser doesn\’t it?  I don\’t know about IE because I don\’t use it but FF & Chrome come equipped with it.  *eye roll*
2. I didn\’t mention once where I met him in the first place, yet this person used the term dating site specifically.  Why is that?  I\’m assuming that said person is obviously part of the \”dating site\” community.  Nothing wrong with that of course, it was just so very specific when I for one didn\’t say a word about where/how we met hmm.
3. Who said he was a stranger?  I didn\’t, yet they assumed it.
4. Picture isn\’t him.  Heh, who knew?  Except if they know whom I\’m talking about, then how on earth can they say its not in fact him?  Again quite puzzling to me.  Especially since there was NO relevant information posted about him like his cell number/ email address or anything like that (which I do have),  that would clearly indicate that it is in fact him.  Yet somehow they know its the same guy?  Wow, I wish I possessed that gift!
5. The e-mail, which is clearly a fake.  OK yes lots of people do it, even I had an anon e-mail up until 10 mins ago when I canceled that account because I don\’t use it for anything anymore but it did serve its purpose.  However his e-mail is clearly a fake as well as in the one he used for MSN.  Even his messenger name is simply \”me\” (someone clearly has something to hide).
6. Apparently \”A\” has been dating this guy for a few months now.  Wait they said dated, not dating which would indicate that they are not longer \”an item\”.  Seems strange to me that all of a sudden, out of no where you decide to Google him.  Let alone somehow magically got led to my blog.  Apparently this person knows nothing about tags and all that.  Let alone how they work…
7. Don\’t know much about him?  Also reeks of the BS stench.  How on earth could you date someone for months (plural) and know so little about them?  Seriously?  That too I find exceptionally hard to believe.

So \”A\” whomever you are (although I have an instinctive feeling that its HIM) I\’m calling your bluff OK?  Maybe I shouldn\’t have gone out of my way to do so but really, I laughed so damn hard at this obviously futile bullshit attempt to get my attention I couldn\’t help myself.  See this is WHY almost no one knows: Where I live, my land line number (my cell is pay as you go and can\’t be traced to me per say as it comes up unknown name), and other various tid bits of personal information about me that can actually lead to me personally.  I\’m not always that bright, but I am not that stupid either.  I\’ve had several stalkers before, this isn\’t anything new to me…  Which is kind of sad in a way, having one let alone several is anything but flattering.  In fact its downright creepy!  This isn\’t the first time hes attempted to contact me and I sincerely doubt it\’ll be the last.

In other news…

Woman are nuts!  I have a friend who obviously stuck his junk into the wrong chick.  She\’s turning out to be a nut job too!  He ends it with her, she claims that she\’s pregnant all of a sudden and demands money for an abortion.  However after doing some simple homework (thanks Google!) in Quebec where we both happen to reside, abortions don\’t cost anything.  Well not anymore, there was a law created in 2006 for this particular purpose.  If of course you have a medicare card, if not well then you would have to.  OK so I haven\’t ever thankfully had to choose this particular route (but reading that website made me kinda sad to even ever have to contemplate it) but seriously why even bother?  Things like that, you really shouldn\’t screw around with.  Its easy to do when your a woman yes.  Unlike claiming you have an STD or something because being pregnant is strictly a chick thing.  So at least he said to her, well if that\’s the case then I\’m taking you and I\’ll pay for it when its over.  Dear God!  Why play games like that?  Are you so damn vindictive that you feel this horrific compulsion to try and ruin someone\’s life like that?  Seriously!

I feel your pain man, on so many levels!
