Wow. I read from top to bottom. I'm glad scandal still exists on the net especially since my life is a bore but rape fantasies, unrequited love, stalkers, quotes, popcorn memes etc...wow! Also I'm jealous I can't quote OR post popcorn pictures.

I think the thing that shocks me most about this is that some of you are shocked.
I saw this one coming a mile away.

I was thinking the same thing - and I do believe this thread will be deleted soon. No, no, no!!! We already had our first gate - the Adam Scandal. This has to be the second.

If I were to wager a guess, if there has been any stalking going on, she's the one doing it.
I think most of her life is lived in her imagination.

Sometimes it looks like people are talking to themselves when there are several kiwi responses in a row! I'll update mine soon, but I lost my original sneetch picture and I'm too lazy to find another.

A moments googling show that benem has a long history of this posting and then regretting malarkey, under various names, including mariah and mariah2 on the old bucket.
If I was admin, my finger would be hovering over the 'ban this user permanently' button. But it wouldn't hover for long.

I read her blog and it was funny, she was cute, had a huge weight loss and would never ever guess she had all these issues. I didn't read a lot of her blog, but it looked all pretty innocent and fun. Interesting. Now I want to go find what Annie dug up. Yeah, I have no life so this gives me something to do.

I should not be giggling at these posts. Mind you I am not giggling at her suffering ( if heaven forbid it is real) but at the responses. DH wants to know why I'm ROFLPIMP. :eek:

And, also, I am LOL AND PIMP:grin: mariah and mariah2--that's right! I was thinking moriah but couldn'tquite pin it down. Take care Mariah, if you are still reading.

WhirledPeas....You made my day!Thank you.
However....
This is not a 'gate' quality thread. Not every drama is a 'gate'. In fact, Benem would love it if this were a 'gate' thread and for that reason alone I wouldn't call it one. Gates need to be reserved for MAJOR drama, this one is SSDD.

I've quickly read through all 7 pages, and I don't think we've had this comment yet. So, allow me to be the first to say it this time, because it really sums up how I'm feeling right now. "Wow. Just wow." ~Ronda

Gosh, I take a weekend off and look what happens!
I don't feel as though I have been played. I contacted Benem, not the other way round, and what she told me in response rang true based on my experience of both what is possible and how people can behave. I acted accordingly, and I don't regret that at all. I'd do the same again.
I'm equally not inclined to delete this thread, as whatever the truth it does serve as a very clear reminder to us all that our real and online lives can be connected all too easily if we're not careful with them, and that can have consequences for us that we may not expect.

Um, wow....I'm up because my insomnia is in full swing , I open up the Forum and wow.....a Mega Thread.
I have a feeling this is just a lot of drama on your part OP and if your life was truly in danger, you wouldn't continually post here. I really do hope you're okay but maybe you should sit down and think long and hard about why you are needing so much attention from strangers.....because as someone previously mentioned earlier, even though we're "friends on the internet " we don't know each other IRL . At least you took your blog down.

Really? I didn't go to her blog, but her posts here were disjointed, and rambling. That coupled with her acting like a "boy crazy" teenager made it pretty obvious there were some issues. I saw this one coming too, I remember when she was Mariah and lots of her posts were about being Wiccan or Pagan (or whatever they call it now) again, long and rambling. I also remember a thread where someone on eBay who claimed to live in Salem was selling "magic wands" collected from a Salem graveyard. I remembered her defending it quite adamantly. I recall that thread because I posted on it quite a few times....OK couldn't resist looking it up & here's the link (huh...I didn't remember janedoe was such a kook on that thread though). Still it was a funny thread and made me laugh again just now. So for ages it was all about being Wiccan, then she vanished for a bit before coming back as Benem (there may have been others but this was the one that hit my radar). Then there was all sorts of weird posts about another religion (Kaballah?) and that seemed to kick of the whole guy crazy thing, something about complimenting random men being a 'task' set by her instructor. Then recently she kicked into high gear with the weight loss and thinking every man who held the door for her or smiled politely desperately wanted her but was just too shy to say so. I originally thought she was quite immature and probably in her 20's, then I saw one of the weight loss pictures she posted and was shocked to realize she was in her 40's. Then she starts posting obsessively about someone at WORK. At least where I work, this would be considered harassment...and if a female member here found out a guy at work was posting like this about her on a message board, most people here would be outraged. Then factor in the risk taking taking behaviour of texting some guy on CL who is into BDSM and thinking about meeting up with him. I'm not a psychiatrist, but I sometimes play one on the internet...but this cycle of "highs" and manic posting rings some alarm bells. Not hard to predict a meltdown.

Annnd the crazy train has arrived at the bucket, and it brings scandal, mystery, alters, and stalking. Even though we do not know who is doing the stalking, I wish Benem well, and I hope she is not banned. Her posts are entirely too entertaining.

I really wasn't going to post on this one but I just have to so I have a spot in the history of this board.
I was rather surprised about the personal stuff she posted about this guy at work. I thought she was definitely opening herself up to some harassment issues but I also thought it all sounded too contrived to be true. It read like someone drafting a romance novel. I just figured she was trying story lines out for some fiction she was considering writing. Add in the Craig's list stuff and I really think she is just playing everyone and using what she posts either for her own personal craziness or as some kind of research.
And for the record, while I don't easily buy into this kind of stuff, I really resent someone doing this purposely to people on this board who truly have expressed care and concern for this person's safety. That's low, really low.

Here's the thing. I don't mind sharing a message board with someone who talks some crazy talk. It's entertaining, amusing and sometimes worthy of a bowl of popcorn. BUT, when I have to stop quoting, copy and pasting someone's posts because THEY CHOSE TO PUT IT OUT THERE....well that's just not cool. I learned many years ago to keep my personal life vague on this (or any other) message board. Too many people with too much time on their hands that cause problems just for entertainment. So while I don't think Benem should leave here, I do think she needs to rethink what she shares with people on an open MB.
