I didn't see the thread but looking at the posts unless she also posted a lot in chat she's a pretty weird troll, why bother to make so few posts in so many years ?

Honeydragon · 15/07/2010 12:08

thanks justine

Just brings it home that there really are some wierd and dangerous individuals out there.

Very bizarre thread.Not just a troll, it seems.

tethersend · 15/07/2010 15:05

Unsettling.

That is the creepiest poster I've ever noticed

I wonder if they are from The Other Place, with that username?

tethersend · 15/07/2010 22:20

What other place?

OP posts:
PortiaNovmerriment · 15/07/2010 22:25

Nethuns

scurryfunge · 15/07/2010 22:26

What is that?

tethersend · 15/07/2010 22:29

Do you reckon they would have the wherewithal to be that subtle though? I'm pretty sure poster was a bloke with an unsavoury fetish...

scurryfunge · 15/07/2010 22:31

mmmm......I agree....getting a definite kick out of it, one would say.

wukter · 15/07/2010 22:36

Why would they bother anyway.
Someone unpleasant, I think, picking a generic wimmin's name.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 15/07/2010 22:40

urgh

Actually, My dad used to work for the Vice squad in Leicester, and I had him on the phone as I was typing. I was hoping something could be done about tracing the Op's Ip address, but obviously didn't want to say so and make the poster log off.

Just think, if it is a pervert, how easy they would be to trace from here and how interesting it would be to, say, follow them around for a few months, to see what contact they have with children.

BitOfFun · 16/07/2010 01:35

Ah Colditz- that makes sense- phew

BitOfFun · 16/07/2010 01:50

Eww ewww eww Creepy fucker.

I reported too.

Very glad s/he has been removed.

As I said on the thread, I feel this is a bit of a wake-up call. We don't always know who we're telling things to and it's a good idea sometimes stop ourselves and think why exactly we're sharing personal information (like your children's night attire) with any stranger who asks.

There's often a theme on MN that we're being overprotective and paedophiles and weirdos are few and far between. Sadly, having worked in/around the IT field and knowing people in digital forensics, I don't think they are as few and far between as we'd like. It's astounding what many 'normal' people have in their internet histories.
