ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze The problem is that stalkers smell fear, they thrive on it, so if you hesitate contacting authorities because you're worried about the kink connection, it's encouragement for them... And, this is exactly why I think our rates are higher in kink land. People not being 'out' is just another thing some of these folks use. People shouldn't think that just because somebody participates in their kink community or even presents at major cons does not mean they are out to their employers, their school, family, or other vanilla associations. That's why it becomes an effective method (outing) for some in the kinky, poly, and/or LGBT communities. <Fast reply not directed to any specific person.> I don't want to attribute this to a poster because I don't think it's what was meant. The idea of tell no one is a very, very bad piece of advice. Your neighbors should know in case the stalker shows up to your home. Your employer/school should know if the stalker comes there. Your family should know in case they get contacted because the stalker is trying to find you. Same goes for friends who you socialize with on a regular basis. If you go to munches/events/clubs, you want to tell the organizers. It's better to tell and have nothing happen rather than not tell and then something does.
