Scott gave you some excellent advice. I think you'd be wise to take it.
I also hope that it didn't give Fortenberry any ideas, and maybe prompt
him to do something that even he might regret.

What's the formula, Kevin? :-)

If I had wanted to have Chester's account yanked I could have done so
several times in the past and on grounds far more unambiguous than this
latest round of pathetic cyberstalking.

I used to be the NNTP administrator for a major midwestern University
and you're absolutely right about Scott's advice regarding .edu accounts.

And since no one else has mentioned it, I will. It doesn't have to be
Ken reporting it, it could some other asshole G who wants to play
net-nanny. I have no idea how seriously they'd take it, whichever
asshole, stalkee or 'nanny, reported it, but I would guess that they'd
fall on the side of caution, and if they didn't cancel it right away,
you'd be on double secret probation or something...

OTOH, I'm not sure the current round of "Whitetrash Cracker vs. Elite
Unpretentious Urban Asshole," being confined to ROFF, is exactly
cyberstalking...anyone know how school admins feel about
cyberslapfighting...?

"Will you tell those assholes to be quiet!?"

When I received a complaint about a posting on a Usenet newsgroup
I would read a month or so of that newsgroup to get a feel for its
"ambience." If it was a rough and tumble place like roff, (some are
FAR more rough and tumble), I'd blow off most complaints with a form
letter. The things I NEVER blew off were direct threats of physical
violence. If Deep Fry were to complain to me about Chester and after
investigating I determined that Chester himself had actually posted
the threat Deep Fry was complaining about, Chester's account would be
gone so fast you wouldn't even see the vapor trail.

They likely feel annoyed about being bothered over such nonsense, and if
they see a convenient way to stop it, they will.

Either you meant to say "Howdy Doody Time" or that's the second
time you've called one of us dowdy.

Either way, I don't think stupid little pricks like you should
be pouring fuel on a fire that would better be extinguished.

I was trying to make light of the situation (even though I misspelled
Howdy's name).

I take you weren't a Howdy fan? I went to the show as a kid and got to
wear my cowboy outfit. Had fun! Got to see Bozo the Clown's show too.
More fun!

I don't think it's me that's pouring on the fuel.
