tw is losing that no-holds barred aspect with this ****. ya i know how that sounds too, 'lack of rules is ruining the freedom.' but not all of us write poetry for a living fuzzy and some of us may have ****ed up when we were 14 or 16 on this forum leaving traces.
what little drive i have to post outside the lol thread on this forum is fading. i could easily backtrace my own name out of this forum. i know none of the parties involved, by the sound of it the nexting party is the mature, cogent, grounded folk and the OP doesn't seem to belong on TW. but don't pretend like you aren't putting restraints on posts with this nexting crusade.

so somehow the threat of some internet person emailing your boss some **** you said on an internet forum under a pseudonym 6 years ago is going to hurt your career?
i don't get it.
before i became a writer i worked as an office manager for a general contractor, and if the owner of the company ever got an email about some crazy **** i said on TW, he'd probably have shown it to me laughing.
there has yet to be a single person from TW who has been nexted out of a job (fourstar wasn't nexted, he attacked another forum openly and they complained to his employer), and there will most likely never be.
like i said, it's psychological terrorism.
look at all these stupid ****ing threads badmofo has been making ever since fraggle posted his linkedin. nothing's happened to him, but the guy has been having a meltdown ever since. he's scared of nothing.
if you want to know how nexting works, just go and try to next someone. the only reason to do it is to laugh as they freak out. what normal person is going to take the time to call their job repeatedly, come up with some huge lie to get them fired, compile years worth of damning internet evidence that makes them look like they should be fired, etc.? it's a huge waste of time.
nexting is just another form of trolling. you find some ******* who's constantly talking about themselves/being a douche/posting dumb **** no one wants to read, and you freak them out to the enjoyment of everyone on TW
and it ****ing works.
look at that dude vero or w/e who i freaked out like a year ago. i found some of his info, claimed i knew his gf, said she was cheating with some random dude she was friends with on facebook, and because he was some insecure, immature queer, his relationship fell apart. but i'll tell you what, that little ****er learned a thing or two. but the whole thing was all in his head. he didn't lose his job, i never contacted anyone he knew.
