no I subpoenaed the knot for info on who was stalking and harassing me in real life and using their website. They handed it right over.
Tell me more! How was she harassing you onThe Knot? Like, the usual bitchy things we all said to each other, or worse? Then what did you do once you had the info?
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley
Holy shit to this thread. I'm about to unfriend all you bitches. j/k
Don't think I wasn't thinking the same thing. I was going through my list in my head trying to figure out who I met and who I didn't so I could start there!

I mentioned on the knot message board that I was the feature couple in the New York times. That's how my real name was known. It started with someone obviously in my city, they were a troll/multiple trolls and posting my pictures and information on the knot constantly. Then pictures of my house, and over a period of several months and older pictures of it too- we were remodeling and they had all these drive-by pictures. We moved and they posted pictures of my new house. Followed me to whole foods, the library, would post and pretend to be me, posting about what I did that day. Creepy. Then she posts, 'are you scared for the life of your unborn child?' --my husband's business worked with a law firm at that time and he told them about it. They suggested this and subpoenaed the knot to find out who was doing it. The information showed everyone's login info and here's what was discovered: archergirl emailed my MIL and mother with a hushmail account. She hired a lawyer and spent money, fought, and lost. She was a periphery person involved, it was weird. The real person was the new wife of an old friend from college. She was the one stalking in person. Her husband divorced her. Another woman involved in participating in harassing was in Oregon and lost her job as a bank teller as a result. She also retained a lawyer and apologized.
So archer girl, a wife of an old friend, and a random Knottie in Oregon met on the Knot and banded together, learned your real name, posted pics of your house and your life, emailed your mother, and escalated it to menacing your fetus?
What did they email your mother?
And were they charged criminally, or was it all civil?
What the fuck is wrong with people? Bitches are crazy. ::sideeyes all of you::
WTF?? What was the motive there? I just don't understand how multiple adult strangers can come together to stalk and harass another stranger like that.

That story is INSANE. I was totally oblivious to all of that on TN.
So what is the standard here? Obviously you can't uncover the real names of everyone who says something mean on the Internet. The stalking story above is reasonable. But the guy in the OP? Did some random commenter's statement really alter other people's opinions of the man who sued?

This! Or when the ringleader shared her idea with other two, no one said- what? No!

I never understood how archergirl stayed so beloved through all of this, but it was the perception of her smugness at a rich mountain climbing boyfriend that pushed people over the edge.

I feel so out of the loop with all, uh, current history of this board and the nest, but way back when, I was super active. I'd forgotten all of this - the beginning of the thread, none of the references to anything rang a bell. But this does.

I didn't realize the timeline of this. I remember Archergirl being beloved when I first discovered TK, which was right before my 2004 wedding. I also remember when her husband died.

Yeah, that's where I left off. I knew nothing about this.
I hang out on here too much. I don't board hop enough.
Yikes. I was on the Nest but somehow missed all of this. Crazy!
Also, my DH knows of someone on the SO list. He is on a construction crew and was working on a new addition to someone's house. He went to the back bushes because he had to pee (not good on a job site by still). He started to pee and one of the homeowner's kids came running out back and saw him. They guy freaked out and stepped deep in the bushes do he could zip up. The parents flipped out and he is now on the SO registry. He was divorced and had shared custody of his kids. Luckily that was okay, but now he can't pick them up from school or go to school events, among other changes he had to make.
I thought that was a pretty harsh punishment for that. I mean indecent exposure sure.
I also partly blame the contractor for not getting a Porta potty.
He doesn't belong on the SO registry at all. I mean, public urination is gross, but it doesn't make him a sexual predator.
Then there was the random newbie who was asking us questions about opening a daycare to bring in some income. When we started talking about being licensed she said she wouldn't be doing that because her SO was a sex offender but it shouldn't be a problem because he wouldn't be home while her daycare was open and he would hardly ever interact with the other kids. She didn't see the big deal since he was "a good guy" and his offense didn't have anything to do with minors.
I think it was her FIL, who they lived with. And if I remember correctly she changed under her covers in bed and nursed under a blanket because she felt uncomfortable there. his crime involved videotaping young women. But not kids, so a daycare was totes no biggie
