Internet Nutjobs

The Bill Maher comment about cybersex reminded of my LPMud days and one mudder in particular.

I first knew him as Etu, a Swedish woman who played on the mud I helped run. She was interesting to talk with but seemed addicted to cybersex at times. She kept wanting a friend (another guy) and I to participate in it with her ... I declined. It just isn't something that turned my crank.

Then I met Saerdan, a Swedish man who played on our mud. It turned out that he was Etu. He used Etu to meet women, find out their interests etc. so he could then hit on them with his male character.

Call me old fashioned but that is a little fucked up. Especially the lengths he went to. A lot of people were pissed off when they found out she was a he because she was cyberslutty, and so were they. :)

Kind of reminds me of the K-Blogger who created a Korean female identity so he would have his "main" id who was seen as a moderate and the female one to attack and belittle people. Kind of fucked up too. The lengths some of the internet whack jobs go to is amazing.

Anyway, he ended up meeting his real life wife that way. She is an American and ended up moving to Europe to be with him. About a year later they had a big spat. She went to the US because her daughter was seriously ill. One night she freaked out online because he was cyber-cheating on her. She had been trying to get a hold of him for days online and off with no luck. Turns out while she was away he was online being cyberslutty. She "caught" him on another mud in flagrante delicto. A fancy way of saying he was doing the cyber deed.

After lots of public drama and recriminations she forgave him for his cyber infidelity. Until the next time. And the next time. And ... well ... you get the idea.

There are some big nutjobs out there and a lot of them are online.
