I’ve seen patterns like that on gaming forums, especially when it comes to MMO’s. You’ll have people who got banned from a forum or who quit a game in disgust ages ago STILL bitching and holding a grudge years after the fact. That has never, ever made sense to me.

It seems like such a waste of energy to keep harping on a website or an individual blogger that you’ve decided is an idiot and his readers all delusional, or whatever the hell they say about LGF these days. You’d think people could find something more constructive to do with their time.

Well said. The stalkers ultimately are a hateful subset of alt.nerd.obsessive - but with a wingnut twist. The hate filled echo-chamber is their social life. It’s rather pathetic and of the same ilk of the WoW guy asked to function in society.
