Advice.

• Choose a genderless screen name.
• Save offending messages and report them to your service provider.
• If someone makes threats in a chatroom or on a message board, notify the moderator or Web site operator right away.
• Don't confront the stalker/harasser, this only arouses more anger or emotional attacks.
• Don't give out any personal information about yourself or anyone else.
• Google yourself to make sure no personal information is posted by others about you.

This is just a short list of things you can do to prevent cyberstalking/harassing. I followed all of it except, I gave out personal information. I gave out personal information to people I thought I could trust. I've spoken to some people for years and trusted them with my full name and address. Now, I have a huge organization of vigilantes after me.

I'd like to send my deepest thanks to Google and other sites out there that cache pages. Otherwise, I would have never known all my information was plastered online. I wouldn't have known that I had become a target until it was too late. That's the best thing you can do, Google yourself. Google your eMail names. In Example: username@domain.com. Google your unique usernames. In Example: xjanedoex123. If your username is something that's not unique, such as "God", then your chances of finding something are rare. Lastly, Google your full name. In Example: "Jane Doe". Use quotation marks.

I hear much of people's calling out to punish the guilty, but very few are concerned to clear the innocent. ~Daniel Defoe
