BEWARE THE RAGE OF A CYBERPATH WHEN CAUGHT

BE CAREFUL!!

ONCE YOU EXPOSE THEM YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY BE SUBJECT TO THEIR NARCISSISTIC RAGE. THIS RAGE CAN GO ON FOR YEARS.

THE CYBERPATH USUALLY DOES THE FOLLOWING (we also call it a 'pathological tantrum'):

- smear you to everyone they can, including making up whole websites just to smear you (Pathologicals believe, like small children, if they SAY something - long enough & loud enough that people will believe them and it will supplant facts and become truth.)

- harrass you, your friends or your family by phone, email or website postings
(be sure to BLOCK their emails and instant messages or DO NOT REPLY - just save them. Don't READ THEM and DON'T TRY TO 'figure out what they mean.' They are mentally disordered and can't be figured out!

If they threaten you or your family, go immediately to the authorities with all hard proof and if necessary, demand a report be filed.)

- minimize, whitewash or twist the truth about what happened between you to their friends, family, spouse, partners, co-workers, anyone who will listen (and accuse you of doing all the things they did to you - i.e. Projection)

- do everything they can to make YOU look like the sick, mentally ill or not credible person

- use their friends/ spouses in denial, other predators, coworkers, internet buddies to help them discredit and smear you or harm you physical and psychologically.

- They may post on boards you belong to or hack a website if you have one.

- They may hack your computer, your email and alter or delete files.

- Hire an attorney and give the attorney selective and or altered information to sue you for defamation, libel and/or slander.
(REMEMBER: the TRUTH is a 100% defense to this. 'Stay the course'! And to accuse someone of slander or libel when it's proveable truth can be actionable by law. If you allow a bully-cyberpath to silence you, they will NOT leave you alone -- they will just push for more & more & more reaction & concession for you. It's a no-win anyway so speak your truth plainly, clearly and don't feel you need to defend yourself.)

- Go to law enforcement, again with selective or altered information, to have you charged with cyberstalking or cyber-harrassment or worse.
(again, stay strong - don't go out of control - and stay the course. Show the officers what you have on them and offer to sign an affidavit stating that its the 100% truth and the Cyberpath is performing a "pre-emptive strike" )

We can assure you that many of the cyberpaths profiled here come to this site NUMEROUS times a day and some send us vaguely threatening email demanding to know who exposed them (we have YET to have to do this... and doubt we ever will; which is why we ask you to sign a binding release)

They threaten to sue EOPC, click the "report this blog" button a number of times and even pretend to be other people or send their friends (or use proxies) to this site to try to covertly get information from us. The people running this site are adults, some who know quite a bit about the law and crime investigation. We are not all in the same country, either. Nor are we stupid.

They also threaten lawsuits, etc. They need to read EFF.org and some of our articles on this issue. We take great pains to verify information. We get a legal release from all our victims and we won't take down something because of intimidation. UNLESS WE HAVE VERIFIABLE INFORMATION ITS FALSE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

To the Victims - exercise caution. And expect to find yourself under attack. Be sure to tell everyone close to you what you are doing. And we support and congratulate you for telling the truth and embracing reality.

Do not respond to your cyberpath - but certainly tell the truth when asked and wherever you can. Get therapy to deal with the stress of the aftermath. Anyone who believes the cyberpath is not your problem.

To the Cyberpaths - Lie to everyone you can, if you must - but the truth remains. We know it, you know it and you can twist in the winds of your 'conveniently rewritten realities' but a lie is a lie. Be sure to read legal definitions before you accuse someone of slander, libel or defamation and don't be surprised when it backfires on you.

The narcissistically injured on the other hand, cannot rest until he has blotted out a vaguely experienced offender who dared to oppose him, to disagree with him, or to outshine him.

It can never find rest because it can never wipe out the evidence that has contradicted its conviction it is unique and perfect. This archaic rage goes on and on and on.

(update: as of this repost: YID with LID has removed his hate site against one of his victims. Douglas Beckstead, however, has been using social networking sites like Facebook to polish his "image" and lay blame for his being exposed on only one of his victims... when we heard from three of them!

Remember: they attack the one who scares them the most! - EOPC)
