    Has anyone have had experience with this kinda person

    I am on betfair Horsey Forum sometimes and I have a stalker. He literally follows me from thread to thread constantly annoying me. Over the course of a week he will easily mention me 10 Times, even If im not around

    I often see my brother on a Soccer forum and his also looking to get bites. He would say black is white just to get a rise and his 5 times more brave from behind his keypad than in real life

    Have you had an internet/Forum stalker before? Are they usually just mental? How do you deal with them

    It's not a real internet argument until posters start using the words 'strawman' and 'ad hominem' to turn the thread into turgid pedantic quasilogical rubbish. I used to be troll until I learned a bit of sense.

    Quasilogical. I like that word.

    The Betfair Forum, oh lord! Some of the stuff in the 'Irish Sports' section is comical, every thread just turns into a mudslinging contest between the same 5 or 6 posters!

    Quasilogical is oxymoronic therefore your point is moot.

    That's a strawman argument.

    When I was younger (early teens) I'd go on Yahoo and troll the religious and atheist forums by asking questions that would obviously get a rise out of people. It amused me.

    I semi-troll a political forum. Theres definitely one guy that comes to mind - anything and everything even loosely associated with his political rivals is stupid, wrong, smelly etc.

    If you were to say that his rivals got a Ferrari you'd be hearing about how mussolini had one too and how his country produces a much better vehicle due to their superior genetics.

    It took about 2 posts to realise he was probably genuinely bonkers, I keep a distance now, just so I dont hear back that he did himself and 5 members of the public in after being trolled by me online, but I do have to laugh at the incredible rants.

    You have cake ?? - ha !!, we invented the biscuit, hitler ate cake all the time, but not biscuits. That kind of thing.

    Tbh if that happens to you then you should take it as a sign you're spending way too much time on whatever it is you're being stalked on.

    In Elder Days these were known as Usenet Kooks. Dave Tholen, Flatfish++, Ed Thorne... ah, that takes me back. As Tholen himself would say: Classic invective, laced with irony.

    This is a rough spotter's guide to the various types of newsgroup poster. It's a bit old-school, but largely holds true on more modern forums:

    It was a friend of a friend and he lives nearby and id talk to him on facebook but he was prone to going off on a rant and threatening to kill people. He came up to me and stared into my face in Dunnes with a mad grin on hs face. That was all. Only realised who the werdo n Dunnes was when he said it on Facebook.
