to think I might be followed?

seriously, is it just me or have any of you noticed that as soon as you post something on one thread a familiar name appears, then you post elsewhere and the same person posts shortly after you?

Am I being followed?

and why?

is it just me? AIBU?

a while ago someone asked me a question I didn't want to answer and they "threatened" me that they would advance search me to try and find out about that detail.

It didn't matter, I could have said it, but I didn't like being bullied.
but that made me wonder if people are doing that (a lot) and following others for whatever reason....

maybe it's nothing. but I do seem to soak up useless information and so I do notice usernames.

oh well. thanks for replies. it's probably nothing then

mort you must know I was kidding with you!Wink

Christ, that's terrible! You should name and shame and quote there.

thanks, it's not a problem, I told her that bringing the content of one thread into another -for intimidating purposes anyway - is against talk guidelines and she'd better leave me be or I'd report her.

that was enough, she backed off, but it's not left me.

so when certain names poop up a lot very shortly I post I wonder...but I guess it's true that people have habits of looking at certain topics or hang out in active - so if we do it at the same time habitually, it's bound to happen....

I don't know remember who it was, and it was months ago...

I tend to look at active threads & post on one's that I can add value to so if others are doing the same then there are bound to be a lot of us unknowing stalkers Grin

ZingWidge · 21/07/2013 23:55

yes, I do that as well, so maybe I'm "stalking too"! Grin

I was just wondering if people ever follow others because they like/dislike them.
Maybe that should have been my question.

so I guess IABU after all for asking the wrong question
