This is the point. Right here. This is why this was posted, I'd assume.

Ok, I'm not sure I'm following you here. Sometimes internet trolls are just annoyances and sometimes they cross the lines into real life. I wasn't trying to say that S&S, Jules and co. are making this up or overexaggerating.
I was trying to illustrate that a similar thing happened to me a couple of months ago. When we tried to warn people about stalker guy, they brushed us off saying it was probably just a little personal disagreement between a couple of people. One person even said that she thought it was "just an ego clash". But it WASN'T. It was one dude going a little nutty on us and getting bizarre. Someone in our club even
passed along notes from Stalker Guy to us saying that, if we didn't like it, we could just ignore the messages.
When we finally broke down and aired all of the evidence, people came to a fuller understanding of the situation and how it was emotionally affecting us. Several club members apologized for not taking us seriously in the first place.
Similarly, simply saying that "So and so is harassing us off of GC" isn't necessarily going to get people behind you. The "faker" in question "seems ok" to most people here and thus some GCers aren't taking the thread seriously.
THAT was my point.
