I feel it's awkward to ask, but...
1. Has anyone here been a target for internet stalkers/pedophiles?
2. If so, did you take counter-measures against them (blocking them, reporting them, etc)?
3. How often has this occurred if it has?
Anyone who has read this is invited to answer. I just need enough information for a persuasive speech regarding their proliferation (taking the 'anti' side).

Meh considering Rekai isn't here...
Yah i've been targeted before, I simply blocked him however he continued so I tracked his IP then stopped him from sending e-mails to me.

That's just harassment. I'm talking about "I'm hunting you down for your body" not "I'm griefing you 'cause you suck". |

*thinks back very far* Once, I refused to talk to him, next week he infected my computer with a virus.... I got it out, but after that I had a large amount of paranoia. I now when I VC with people, I look for anything that might say they are using a voice changer, or something. If they are, and I don't know them (like say, when me and my friends were screwing around with a voice changer), I panic, and block them immediatly, than turn on any firewall on my computer. It runs in my family to be this paranoid about things so... ridiculously vague, I think thats the right word.

I guess it's gonna be hard for me to 1-up on Oprah's "pedophiles/stalkers are everywhere".
*changes thesis to "With the right precautions, actions and knowledge, internet pedophiles/stalkers can be easily avoided"*

Never mind.
Thanks for the help, anyway.
I changed my topic today. So, could someone please lock this? Thanks.
