I realized this morning that a commentor came into a diary thread that I had been posting in, soley for the reason to tell everyone who was pummeling me in the thread, that I had been pummeled before.
So, I decided to look closely at the commentor.
The commentor has thousands of comments, but has never published a diary.
I looked at her comments.
Over the last few days her comments have nothing to do with the diary, but simply attack another commentor. I only went back a few days, but that's all I found.
All attacks, no substance, nothing to add to the discussion posited by the diariest.
How does she get away with not being held accountable?
SOLUTION below the fold.
I am a frequent diarist.
I have had many masters and many lives. I have travelled Robert Frost's "Road Not Taken". I was an iconoclast (my teachers introduced me to the word, in 7th Grade) because I was different. I have diaried the main reason I'm different is that I was sexualized as a child by a priest and I attempted suicide in 7th Grade. The evidence is there, still is available to law enforcement. I didn't have to sue the Archdiocese because their investigation found my complaint to be credible. We settled.
Because my life has taken me on a strange life journey, I have developed an encyclopedic base of facts, factoids, and errata. I have opinions derived from my facts and the lens of life through which I view everything. I might need my vision corrected because of my sexualization as a child. I'm open to dialectics: discussion, rational analysis, debate, the Socratic method.
I have been HR'd unjustly and threatened by several commentors. They won't do it openly in one of my diary's but they follow me, tell their friends, and say they are trying to get me enough HRs to be auto-banned (the computer will spit me out).
My stalkers pummel me in the threads of diaries that others have written. They do it by unravelling the thread of a diary. I've noticed that my stalker spent the last few days, pummeling someone in a diary that had nothing to do with the content of the diary. There was a gang, with my stalker being a part of the gang, HR rating and commenting about a TU and a dKos manager as not being useful.
I have the solution to the problem of stalkers on dKos.
SOLUTION
The idea being able to"confirm a follow request" and "deny further access to follow". I want to be able to deny stalkers easy access to me, to stop my being pummeled in the threads of other people's diaries. I want the stalking to stop. If someone uses the button "Follow" I want to be notified and I want to be given the right to deny my stalker the privilege of being alerted to my posts on dKos. If I discover that a commentor has become a stalker, solely to harass me, I want to be able to stop them.
1. I want to confirm all "Follow" requests.
2. I want to deny current "Follow" requests.
I don't want stalkers.
