Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

This was posted by ToHotToHandle on the 23rd on the Rachodactylus Network battle ground forum in response to someone asking if I wanted them to help me with the website problem.

We know that Tim Bowles has posted as ToHotToHandle because of his admission in a post, and because of the spelling and punctuation errors in other posts I can only assume that Bobby Pruett is also posting as the same.
Well there is something that can be done about it and it has been done, www.ghireptiles.com started by Bobby Pruett has been shut down by Yahoo. This is the length that Bobby Pruett will go to if he has a personal vendetta against you. He started www.ghireptiles.com to intentionally screw with me, my reputation, and my livelihood. Some people are real mental cases

For anybody getting e-mails from (ghireptiles4@hotmail.com)
I found out today that harrassing and rude e-mails are being sent from ghireptiles4@hotmail.com. Well it's not me but is the contact e-mail for the website ghireptiles.com that Pruett started and very quickly was shut down. Anyone who has recieved harrassing e-mails from that address please save them on your hard drives and forward them to me at ghireptiles@aol.com and remember that it is not me sending them but a disturbed individual who wants to make people think it's me....just like the website the hotmail account will be shut down soon.
Thanks!
Matt

As you were saying in this thread earlier, it maybe wasn't worth the trouble to take him to court, especially if you had to go to his state to file. Given this new info about more harrassment of individuals "in your name" and the fact that it appears to be escalating, I think something needs to be done. He seems to be meeting the "criteria" for internet harrassment if not actual cyberstalking. If you haven't looked into it these sites may help. I haven't actually done anything more than look at the home page, but maybe they have relevant info. http://www.netcrimes.net/resources.html and

Well, It just contributes to their lousy reputation. I think everyone will figure it out.

I just actually read some of the e-mails and he had someone just fuming . He was making this guy think the e-mails were coming from me but thankfully now he knows they weren't. What you see Dennis is actually the tip of the iceberg with the way this guy has been harrassing me. It has pretty much been two solid years of this garbage from Pruett so hopefully in a few more he will get tired of making himself look bad

Matt,
Stalkers rarely grow tired of their prey. I would take legal action. Get a restraining order. Haul his hiney into court. Do what you need to do to make his life more difficult. Even if this doesn't "bother" you (and I think it must on some level as you are only human) his tactics may well escalate unless you do something to stop him. My $0.02 anyway.

Hey Jim,
His tactics have already escalated to the point of absurdity. I am already long over the physical threat period, the posting pictures with me face in them period, and the name calling thing, so now we are on to more 'Cyber' things like impersonating me on the internet and making a website using my business name. He has purchased the domain name 'ghireptiles.com' and it seems to have backfired on him since the site he spent money on and made, ghireptiles.com, was forcibly shut down immediately. That was a good investment

I hear you, Matt. But (and not to give him any ideas) I can get your social security number and a copy of your dirver's license in a day if not in 20 minutes. And I can start applying for credit in your name with that info. And so can he. Thing is you do not know for certain what he will do next and short of legal action (and maybe in spite of it anyway) you can be put through a lot of trouble fixing your credit report and getting a new social security number.
It has happened to people I know....more than once.
You know him better than I do, and you know what's best for you no doubt way better than I do. So all I can say is that if it was me, I would take action to make him uncomfortable so he thinks twice about the legal consequences of stalking you. Because he is stalking you. Make no mistake about that.
