Apart from stalking me he also impostored my real name and attacked members of the following website, he published hundreds of malicious, defamous and libelous posts about me on the same website, all ending up in google searches. Through his activities i received death threats from around the world. He made a big mistake one day on <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk</a> where he did the majority of his stalking. He posted in their forums under the pseudonym 'ronnielockstock' and from certain things he said in the post i knew for sure now who my stalker was. I googled his alias, and over several weeks found years old posts he had made on various websites using that alias, that were very interesting and mentioned other aliases which i searched and found even more. One of the posts revealed certain information that proved to me who he was, i then googled his real name and found more interesting information. in 2007 i presented certain information to my local police and this led to him getting a harassment notice, but it did not stop him, just fired him up to do more, and it got much worse. At one point, his antics started a war on saatchi and they closed down their forums, blogs and chatroom several times for long periods. Eventually i had enough information early 2008 to return to the police, and in april it resulted in him being arrested, not once, but twice. I have found out a lot more about him since. <br><br>What he did to me destroyed my life, career and reputation, and i will never ever forgive him. I had an online stalker since 2001 up until 2008.

If you knew the entire story about that non-profit group you would be quite appalled. In those two cases it was quite calculated, but I imagine that is not always the case.
