Cannot believe it!
I find it truly disgusting that I had to remove my home page url, and other information because some guy was in here trolling asking questions about our sexual lives for his "Erotic Literature". Unbelievable. I reported the post along with others and the guy actually tracked me down from my home page url (meant to share with with my fellow BC sisters) and emailed me! So Ladies, I want to inform all of you, remove any personal information you have showing in your tagline or in your profile, you never know who is reading it.

Great googa mooga Deb............what he on the BCO site? Or your beautiful site I was commenting on yesterday? That JERK!!!
-
He was on here Coonie...said he wrote erotic literature and was asking women about their sex lives, all sorts of crud....like we need to be used as research, we've been thru enough...........
-
what's his name? do you remember?
-
Coonie, I saw the topic after the body was removed by the community. It was in the Surgery before/after forum. I don't rember the name of the creep but reading the responses from those who did see the message gave me the creeps.

That really sux!!!!
-
Deb, that is such a shame! Can't we have better security here? I suppose it would be difficult to do so.
Anyway, for those of you who were not privy to his post, he identified himself as a writer of erotic literature who was doing research about the sex lives of women who have had mastectomies. I am sparing you the rest of his salacious rubbish - but the word "taboos" was also included. Definitely a disturbed individual, along with being a truly SICK voyeur . . . -
Good golly! Is no place sacred?!?
-
THAT CREEP HAD THE NERVE TO EMAIL ME TOO!!!!!!!! He got my information from here!!!!!
-
What did he say when he emailed you both?
I didn't get to see his post.
-
Basically that he couldn't understand why we were so upset and calling him a pig and all.....he also included a copy of an email he sent to the moderators.........Said he thought we would have been glad to get the attention for our cause, I'm like in an erotic story? Come on............
-
Maybe he has a fetish about women with mastectomies??? I almost like the idea of someone finding me sexy.
People are strange, that is for sure.
-
Same thing said here and Deb he told me he got your email from your website!......
EDITED TO ADD....That cretin has emailed me THREE times already!......He say I feell threatened..WELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, he told me that too, he sent me three other emails besides the first one, I deleted them...I am not going to argue with the guy....He may be an "author" for all I know, but to come in and ask things like he did, well I didn't care for it....I took my website and all off my profile, don't want anymore unwanted emails...The whole thing made me feel creeped out and sort of invaded or something..Guess I got too comfortable here or something, felt safe. No more................

Hi Everyone,
Sorry to hear that some of you were emailed by this person and creeped out.
We strongly recommend never posting any personally identifiable information on this forum, or anywhere else on the Internet for that matter. This includes email address, first and last name, phone number, postal address, etc.
This forum is public, indexed by Google, and visited by about 10,000 people every day. Unfortunately, not all of these people are kind, friendly, or even human (some are just "bot" software scouring the Internet at random for anything that looks like an email address).
This guy was probably just lacking (lots of) tact in approaching you all about his project. But better to keep emails and other contact info out of the public domain.
Please let usknow if anyone has questions.
Thanks!
