\"Weeping_sketch_3\"<\/a> When you first hear the term "cyberstalking" you think it’s a joke.  Well guess what.  It’s not.  Read this.<\/a>  It’s the post of a prominent blogger who has canceled speaking engagements and remains frightened and close to agoraphobic because of vicious  and threatening online attacks, both verbal and visual.  I started to post one of the photos, but just couldn’t do it.  So instead you see how I felt upon reading Kathy Siera’s post.<\/a>  <\/p>\n
