How terrifying. Do what you need to do to stay safe. I hope the police are able to track this person down and justice is served.

I'm so sorry this is going on. I'm glad it probably isn't a refupea, and I'm glad that you are taking action. Please keep yourself safe and do what you have to do -- we will understand.

Gosh. It might be best if you just join in general chit chat and don't reveal anything personal, at least for the short term.

Oh my! I am so sad for you! I hope everything comes out in the investigation and you don't have to continue looking over your shoulder. And I hope you can find a way to continue to be a part of this site. You would be sorely missed and it would mean the bad guys (girls, idiots,losers, jerks) won. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Personal safety? Just for posting musings on a potential romantic relationship? I tend to agree with what Burning Feather said on another thread. Anything you post has the potential for the world to know.
I wish you and your romance well. Hold it close instead of writing about it for validation.

I'm sending you hugs, because no one should ever feel the way you do right now. I really, really hope you can still find a way of safely posting, because we enjoy you and were worried when things became erratic. I also pray that the authorities track down whoever is threatening you.

It doesn't make sense that someone would threaten you for making romantic musings. Why would that happen? It seems much more likely that Mr. Darcy would feel uncomfortable about having his [supposed] feelings broadcast, or that you would feel embarrassed about what you had posted.
Either way, I wish you and Mr. Darcy well!

It sounds quite dramatic. Maybe a good time for you to take a break from the internet. Good luck!

You have been stalked in the past and yet continue to post private information? I find this very confusing. If I'd been in your situation and sensed danger, I would not continue to post details about what I'd hoped were a romantic relationship. My guess is your feelings are not reciprocated and that you feel remorse. i'm sorry, you deserve better!

This may have nothing to do with the romantic stuff at all. Either way, I hope it all works out for you.

For your own safety and peace of mind...you need to get off the internet. It sounds as if you've been threatened and your words here might have been a part of those threats. Take a step back and be safe....that means not posting here. I wish you peace...
ETA: I just read where you said you were afraid to be here....honestly...you need the Admin to delete (or you do it) your entire account. Stay away from here...the stress and fear is NOT worth it.

I am so sorry that you are going through this! And I hope the investigator can catch whoever has been the cause of your fears.
Even when being careful, sometimes we let slip personal information that a clever but malicious person can use to find us. Obviously you have had experience with such a person in the past. I hope that you stay safe and have no more problems with Internet stalkers or anyone in your personal acquaintance.

I'm so sorry to read this Benem. I love your lighthearted and entertaining posts.
Stay safe and remember........internet bullies/stalkers are cowards at the end of the day. I hope the police investigation will be thorough and bring the perpetrator to justice. (((((hugs))))

Geez guys, Karenina and jamieson, can you not respect that she asked not to be quoted? ( jamieson paraphrased, but still...) @benem - take care of you. You are one of my favorite posters, but please do what you need to do until it is safe for you to be here. (((hugs)))

You are one of my favorite posters, but please do what you need to do until it is safe for you to be here. (((hugs))) Honest to God...if someone cannot be quoted, they should not be posting.
Quoting is a long time feature, heavily used both at 2peas and here. When I read, I quote people. I don't think it's on ME to have to remember "oh I can't quote that person for her own personal safety". I'm concerned for her, but her internet safety is within her own hands. (I can hardly remember what I did yesterday...but all the sudden OP's personal safety is on me?)
If things are that dire for her in regards to her going to the police, and her being in fear for her life as she's stated many times, the internet is truly the last place she needs to be...especially with the same username.
I wish her well...but clearly she needs to take a break for a while...at least until the police conclude their investigation.

I have to agree with the above. We can't be expected to remember who we may quote and who we may not. This is a discussion forum, and that facility is there to be used. If benem didn't learn from her last experience, she won't learn it from this one. If you don't want to be quoted, don't post about a particular matter. Her best bet would have been to say absolutely nothing at all, the whole matter would have been forgotten in a few days and the thread would have disappeared into the ether.

I am so sorry whatever happened as happened. Praying you stay safe and well. It is so sad that somebody out there is in such a low place themselves to do something like this to you.
You seem like a nice person, keep your chin up, we hope to see you around here for a long time to come.
