"I equate how she feels about this with the idea of some strange psycho-guy fantasizing about being with me. Can I stop him from thinking about me? No. Does it make my skin crawl to think what he's thinking about me? Yes."
You're right. I'm sorry. Cyber stalker was never mentioned. It was strange psycho-guy. I'm sorry for the error. I was a bit upset that anyone would think of my kind regards in that manner. Or anyone else's. But I am sorry for extrapolating.
This actually came up for me once. I had to leave the board for a while once, and came back to find a fair amount of speculation. And yes, it was unsettling. But I did understand the kindness and concern that was behind many of the posts, and I certainly wasn't angry with those who posted with those intentions.
I'm not sure how to say this without mentioning anyone, but really this level of protectiveness is not necessary with the vast majority of posters here who feel nothing but fondness and respect. And speaking for myself only, I am a bit hurt at having that fondness depicted as something ugly. Unless I am misunderstanding. And I certainly am open to the possibility that I am indeed misunderstanding the simile.
