'Stalker' allegation.
May 11th, 2017 at 8:55pm
 
It is made quite often here, and just like an accusation that someone is a paedophile, has very serious criminal implications.

Can it be placed in the same 'do not use' basket as paedophile is?

I am not suggesting this is anything other than the most recent example, but it was what inspired this Thread:

Link.

I'm not suggestion there is direct equivalence between the two....just highlighting the common factor....an allegation of very serious criminal conduct that ought be referred to Plod, not made here.

I have said many times here that what people call stalking is not stalking. "You posted straight after me in a public forum! Stalker!" Obviously doesn't meet the legal definition.

Perhaps, Aussie, perhaps. Let's see what FD has to say. I for one really do not like people being accused of illegal activities to get one up on another member.

Yet, the accusation is made far too often to blacken the name of a Member who is not stalking (as you say) whatsoever.

Mud sticks and that is the very deliberate intent......impugn a Member, and quite falsely, as happened in that Thread I linked.

I read that before you posted this and o be honest I didn't see Gordy's that way, more of a joke. But still I'd like members to be free from accusations of activities that are illegal. I saw no malice in his post.

As I said....I used that as an example of how casually the allegation is made.....malice aside.

It is a nasty and insidious thing to be accused of and carries significant legal sanctions, both civilly and criminally.

I doubt I can say anything more on the matter.

You have made allegations that a member here has hacked both this forum, PA and Yahoo yet I see no actions have been taken against you Aussie, the accuser. Maybe you should not be so quick to point the finger at someone else without considering your own behaviour first.

As I said, I'd like to see all allegations of illegality against members be gone. I think it's a pretty low form of debate.

I know why you say that but on a wider scale, do you think members should be slandered with illegalities? I don't.

Yet Aussie throws out all kinds of lies in Relationshits weekly with impunity ...

On the original question, I am not going to ban the stalker accusation. It is not the same thing as being called a pedophile.

Gee - if there was a paedophile or terrorist exploiting or roaming this Forum.
I for one would totally support anyone who has a sincere 'question' about that kind of person.
Better to be proved wrong (understandably), than to let such a person go unchecked.
"Just smile for the cameras Pope John Paul." (and turn a blind eye to it all)

I think it would 'shame' this Forum pretty bad, if such a person went 'un-checked'.
I would prefer 'proof', rather than 'opinionated whims'.

And it should be assessed by no other(s) except FreeDiver and Myself !!

Oh - I'm putting myself out on a limb here  Shocked
