To be freaked out by someone quoting posts a year old to vilify my children?

Someone on another forum is quoting bits of posts I made over a year ago and vilifying myself, my children and their school. I am freaked out - I feel as if I am being stalked and also damaged in public by it though arguably both are anonymous.
However this person is quoting details which make the family easily identifiable.
I have pmed them but they are obviously on a roll.

can you report them on the other forum

doesn't seem like a good idea to start this thread.

If the forum is moderated, put in a complaint.
But did you put information on the net that identifies your family and school that easily? Can the admin on the site delete your old posts?

Shock second usuals advice.

Why put info on the internet if you don't want it re-posted?

Not saying it's right btw...just that most forums do have search engines where you can quite easily bring up old posts.

Eh? YOu are being stalked - so deal with it on that forum under their rules. Why bring it over here?

I'd report in the place where it was happening. It does sound a little odd.

yanbu to be freaked out by it. but..

the internet is not anonomous - if you post identifyable stuff online there's a chance someone will identify you, iyswim.

And the thing is, you don't know who reads what. I was recently recognised in a shop - I was at the till and asked the assistant if we'd got the world cup (was day of the vote), and when he said he didn't know I said I would check twitter then, to which the woman next to me said "oh, I'm on twitter as well, and Mumsnet - you're on mumsnet aren't you." Shock Shock

Now, I've posted quite a lot of info that makes me fairly identifyable, but have always been careful not to post derogatory thing about people I know who could recognise, still Shock though.

How did she know you wannabe?

bibbitybobbityhat · 09/01/2011 22:06

Post "Why are you stalking me you freak?" on the thread in question. Come on.

CaptainNancy · 09/01/2011 22:07

Shock wannabe! Please tell me you live in a village of 3 people....?

BitOfFun · 09/01/2011 22:12

Wannabe would probably be recognisable in RL Grin

victoriascrumptious · 09/01/2011 22:13

Always talk shite on the internet. That's what I do. Nothing I have ever written is identifiable.

You can't believe a single word I say.

OP. You have been a bit dim tbh but it will all blow over. It will.

usualsuspect · 09/01/2011 22:13

Yes ask her wtf shes doing on the forum in question
