Stalkers Are So Tedious

I've been facing a bit of a quandary the last few days.

First off, my internet has been down more than it's been up and I'm not sure what's going on with THAT.

But more importantly, I've been trying to decide if I should cut my losses with this blog and start posting elsewhere, under a different name. My reason for leaving this blog behind would be solely because it would appear that somehow, my Ex-Husband, the Mad Scientist, seems to have nothing better to do than spend his time stalking me on the internet.

I find it sadly ironic that the man who I once considered my white knight, the very same man who saved me from a stalker, has now himself become my stalker.

Here's the story.

So a person posting under the name "Anton Round" left a rather nasty comment to my post "The Bitch Is Back". When I first read the comment, I was rather surprised, but didn't think much of it, truth be told. I figured that it was just one of those rather pathetic individuals who have no life and try to validate themselves by running around and posting nasty comments on strangers blogs. And I decided to leave the comment up as I figure that it really says more about the kind of a person "Anton Round" is, than it does about me!

But since most of the people who drop by here and leave comments are women, I was rather curious about what could have drawn an "Anton Round" to my blog. So I did what any reasonably savvy internet user does, and Googled him.

Much to my surprise I got a hit that went beyond the realm of coincidence.

Turns out that "Anton Round" is an alias that an old friend of mine, whom I shall call the Puppet Master, had used back in the 60's or 70's.

My first reaction to this information was complete shock. I always thought that the Puppet Master LIKED me and "skanky beach whore" doesn't strike me as a nickname created with affection!

And then I thought - wait a minute! For one thing, posting a basically anonymous comment on a blog is NOT his style. The Puppet Master doesn't much censor what he says, and can piss off people faster than anyone I know, but here is no way he would do something so cowardly and underhanded. He'd just insult me to my face! Ya gotta respect that!

And secondly, The Puppet Master is in prison and isn't allowed internet access! So he COULDN'T have posted the comment. (And no I don't consort with criminals. It was one of those white collar crimes and he didn't really do it, but its a REALLY long and complicated story.)

So the question then became, who would post a comment using that name?

For various reasons that I won't go into, the answer was obvious. My Ex, the Mad Scientist has obviously tracked down my blog somehow. And he loathed The Puppet Master. He once told me in a fit of what I can only assume was paranoid delusion that he thought that the PuppetM was going to hire a hit man to kill me and set him (the Mad Scientist) up to take the fall!

When I increduously asked him why on earth the PuppetM would want to kill me, the MadS replied that people would do anything for money and that there were millions of dollars involved. When I logically pointed out that killing me would not allow the PM access to millions of dollars, the MadS stubbornly insisted that the PuppetM was insane. Now THAT's the pot calling the kettle black, if you ask me!

Anyway, the MadS has obviously decided that he's going to take time out of his busy social schedule of getting high and looking at free internet porn to stalk me electronically. So I may end up ditching this blog. I hate to do it, but I don't want him to start to harass any of the nice people who stop by here, or quite frankly to know what I'm doing. And I'm pretty sure that he tracked me here, through Dagny, or BWB. Two wonderful ladies who followed me over from the first blog. Sorry ladies!

If I do ditch this blog, I'll let y'all know! I hate being chased away, but . . .

You know what the one fun thing about this whole situation is? The Mad Scientist can't respond to this or refute it without admitting that he's a cowardly nutjob, who's obsessed with his ex-wife! Ha! Is that mean?
