Perhaps the person stalking him will knock on his door and kiss and make up? Return and report.

What happens if nobody's stalking him? Will he return to report nobody really stalked him, but that he was solely making an exit to garner sympathy?

Say what you want about Lingo, but I don't think he's really into garnering sympathy.

I have never really understood the attitude towards Lingo here (especailly afdter he toined down his act a bit, which I think he has done). My guess is that he found it unsettling that all he did was post his opinoins and comments (like most of us) and in return not only did people respond on-line, but also went to the trouble of finding out who he is, what he does, where he lives, and posting direct and indirect references to these facts. In addition, his photo was unflatteringly photoshopped and posted. After a while, he probabyl began thinking that someone was out to get him. I think it is a bit more than just a step to conclude that his fmaily is threatened, but I also understand why he might not want to hang around.

That's frightening, to tell you the truth.

And it's obvious this has been going on for a long time. The fact that those who are doing the stalking are unwilling to be open about it indicates some level of malice.

I'm not willing to take the chance, however slight it is, that this will escalate into a dangerous situation for my family.

So you win. I'm leaving the board. Just stop whatever it is you're doing to delve into my personal life.

Thanks.

I am confused at what is being done to delve into Lingo's personal life?

So far, people have read his public blog and read his articles that were written and published in the BYUI newspaper.

How does that put a family's life in danger? How is it frightening?

Maybe he is afraid that the evil spirits that give google its power will come and haunt him?
