ABC Sucks
mysinglemomlife.com — Cat was interviewed by ABC for a piece about cyberstalking. The final edit left a great deal to be desired. Cat is a strong woman who wants tough cyberstalking laws and is not afraid to speak out about her own situation. The ABC story implies that she is hiding and quaking in her boots, which is absoluitely not true.

- mskat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0ABC is deleting my comments. I am leaving a link to my cyberstalking story, and they keep deleting it. This is censorship!!
They have also deleted the comments of others who post to the article in support of me.
Tell ABC censorship is wrong. - FrankRenshaw, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0I have also experienced cyberstalking on here !
Someone calling himself "foundyouout" continually posts libellous and defamatory messages because I and others belong to an organisation called the National Vigilante Organisation.
I and others have complained about his activities but nothing has been done by Digg.
Which is why we rarely post on here now.
But I totally agree with you that such activities should be illegal ! - lucyblue, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Wow, what a rotten example of how awful the public media has become. :(
- justj0000lie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Where is this ABC forum where they keep deleting the comments?
- mskat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Technology/comments?type=story&id=3104264

You're reading WAY too much into this. Even having read the blog post first (direct link to the ABC story above), I don't see where they're making anyone out to be "quaking in their boots".
It's a short article and, frankly, I don't think anyone wants to read the transcript of a 2.5 hour interview with a mommy blogger. It's another example of someone being harassed for what they've said online... no one needs to know the details and, frankly, the more detailed it becomes, the less interested people are going to be.
FTA:
Kathleen Cooper, a single mom in Florida, never thought responding to a post on a friend's blog would bring on five years of online harassment.
"In the beginning, they were just cruel comments," Cooper said. "Then he started threatening me with child protective services, saying I beat my children. Then he was calling the police for abusing my children."
With her family's safety in jeopardy, Cooper went to the police. As in so many cases of cyberharassment, authorities did not take the threats seriously.
"I think it will take a blogger being killed before law enforcement will take action," Cooper said. - Foundyouout, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Nothing libellous about what I post "Frank" and you know. I'm simply reacting to your sad attempts to promote your "organisation" which, of course, is run by well known BNP supporter Albert Hurwood. I remark upon how Albert runs a site that bears similarities in form and content to a BNP propaganda site.I point out how the tactic of recruiting vigilantes to form "active groups" to "confront the yobs" is also very similar to the BNP "patrols" in Wiltshire. I point out how vigilantism is, by definition, outside the law. And I point out that your little internet campaign has already seen you banned from Newsquest sites for political agitation.
As you are such a champion of free speech I'm sure you will support my right to point out these facts.
