I'm out - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

JohnnyLingo · 04-16-2008, 01:25 AM

It's apparent there are a few posters here that can't keep their contempt for me on the board. They feel the need to stalk me online and find out about my personal life.

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.

Man, you can't say stuff like that and not name names....

Lingo writes a sports column, which I did not know of, nor did I find. He's mad because I made some joking references to writing a column, without giving any hints.

This got him spooked. But I don't think he is referring to me, because I don't stalk him. I admit that before I saw the article, I had forgotten what Lingo's name was.

Btw, it wasn't a terrible column. I think he's mad that someone did find the column.

I found the column, and I thought it was nicely done. Much better than Dick Harmon. I don't see why this puts Lingo's family at risk.

Good luck to you, Lingo. I wish you only the best.

Say hi to your dad for me.

That is brave of you to come out to everybody.

That is too bad. I for one do not understand why anyone would harass you. I understand why someone might want to kid and make fun of some of the things you say, but delving into your personal life, I don't understand that.

As a matter of fact could you board-mail me the names of those harassing you so I can have my people do some research and see if those people are also digging into my background.

My lawyer and private detective are on retainer and haven't been doing anything lately to earn their money.

I love grand exits. Predictions on how long it take him to return? I'm going to go with 42 days.
