Bloodsage had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
"You Can Leave Your Hat On" is one of his songs--on exactly that subject. It's a great tune, btw.
Joe Cocker? Really? Then why do I remember seeing Tom Jones singing it? Or am I just on crack?

Bloodsage had this to say about Tron:
That sounds like something Tom Jones would cover, but it's a Joe Cocker song. At least he's the one who turned it into a hit single.
Fair enough. At least I'm not crazy. 
And, for the record, that's where I drew my original "she could leave her hat on" line.

Allright, GKT, where does this fucker live? I'll do better than a restraining order. I'll fucking cut the asswad's fingers off, joint by joint.
He's threatened Jraik with bodily harm now. That's MORE of a reason to go to the cops, not LESS.
Go to the cops. Get the restraining order. Call his parents. In that order.
Please. No more kid gloves with this jerk.
Also, call the ISP and do call his parents.
Thinking about your posts
(and billing you for it) since 2001
Call the police now.
Ive printed up every email he's sent me recently that involves my having reason to fear for my own safety, as well as saved those to disk as backup copies.
I dont think I'll go so far YET with a restraining order..but I certaintly will let the police know whats going on.
WTF!! Get the damned restraining order today! Why are you waiting? Are you waiting until you're in the hospital? Or until Jarik is hurt?
Jraik's still intent, as well, on talking online with this guy..Unfortunately against our best friend's wishes, as he believes that by getting Jraik to talk to the guy would only threaten his life further. (The guy did tell me that if Jraik became involved or layed a hand on him, he'de kill him. *whimper*)
He's threating to kill someone you love and you still won't get a restraining order?!
I dont know really what all to do,
CALL THE FUCKING COPS, can't be any clearer that that as to what to do.
save for involving the police right now, and letting his ISP know whats going on. Both he and I run through AOL, so that shouldnt be too hard.
When I last worked at AOL death threats were taken very seriously and dealt with ASAP.
*nod. sigh* So many say, even Jraik, that this is my fault and that Ive brought it all upon myself.
This is BS, but you are continuing to let it happen to you, stop being a victim.
That now I just gatta let it all play through. *mews. shrug* I dont believe this is my fault entirely..Im not the fucking stalker after all..but anyway..Im going to see what I can do to handle this the best way possible. Im debating though..
Call his parents? Let them know whats going on?
Let the police phone his parents and them their son is stalking someone.
I'm sorry GKT, I like you, but if you fail to get ahold of people who can help you, I'd have say Maradon was right about what he said. 
Worst comes to worst...arm yourself with mace, blunt object that you can carry around easily, or if you know this kid is armed, a gun. You're 19, you can get one. Also, you can get the police to monitor this guy, and contact his parents. If his parents don't zip him in for mental help immediately, the police will be able to at least warn you if he's on the move. Restraining orders are good, most people will take them seriously, but if this guy has popped his cork...let's just say I've had to literally drag a would-be stalker away from a friends house, despite the fact that he had a restraining order. Get...the...police...involved. That's all I have to say.
-Azrael
I don't know about the US, but threatening someone with harm in a manner in witch they could take it seriously is a crime. Print the E-Mails, take them to the Police, get a restraining order, then sue him, or do anything that would make his parents get a letter from a court informing them that their son is accused of stalking people.
The parents of 16 year old teenagers are seldom pleased if their kids get them involved in legal hassle, and they'll probably take care of him from there. If they don't, the police will.
However you should try to take the advice of the people here, even if they are a bit harsh, if someone were out to hurt your feelings they wouldn't spend time writing posts on how you can best handle the situation.
It's hard to feel sympathy for someone who refuses to take positive steps to correct a dangerous situation. Your attitude, in effect, is a self-fulfilling prophecy, where your fear that it's your fault you're in danger will lead you to be hurt--and it'll be your unwillingness to protect yourself at fault.
Call the police. Now. And tell Jraik to back off--this is a job for proper authorities, and he may screw it up entirely if this creep makes the case he was the one being harassed.

*nod* Im'a gonna do it..Restraining order? Yes. *sigh* but Jraik still wants to talk with the guy..I dont..like the way that feels. Its not something I can stop him from doing..but..*mews* I dunno.
Do what it takes to stop him. Don't go into court with dirty hands.
Dont let that dirtbag hurt you... your also doing him/society a favor by acting.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but what do you have going on that's more important than your personal safety?
Additionally, consider what your procrastination does for any potential defense this guy wants to mount. They'll argue, quite correctly, that if you didn't feel threatened enough to take emergency measures, then you really felt no threat. The guy'll walk, and your restraining order may be rejected--you do have to show cause to get one, you know.
Take this seriously. Or the justice system won't.
When you're about to crash your car, with potential death or injury on the line, you don't hit the brakes "when you get around to it." You do it NOW.
Do it NOW.
--Satan, quoted by John Milton
Your personal safety should be your first and ONLY concern at this point, Jessica. Please, it's good that you've started by talking to the cops, but everything else (restraining order, documentation, discussing with AOL, his parents) really should not wait any longer.
Log off your PC and go do these things NOW, please.

I would do it NOW..but 'rents are home..and I cant just tell them "Im going to the police now because the guy I told you I was dead is now stalking me. Be back befor 10" *mmphs* Yeah right...Its not procrastination..Its the best I can do RIGHT NOW.
Bullshit.
Why is it important to keep this a secret? Your safety may depend upon how many people know--as well as being one of the things a defense team will bring up. "So, if you took pains to hide the situation from your parents, you must not have thought it very serious . . ."
Your parents should be happy to take you to the police station, one would think.
Damn, I just don't get you. Either you're being melodramatic, or you've got the self-preservation instincts of a time bomb.

No, you dont..*sigh* Im trying to work with what Ive got. I cant let 'rents know. Hell knows, Im dealing with enough issues with them already...I dont need another thrown into the mix.
