Message board lunatics

Fascinating story from the LA Weekly about an Internet nutjob... while we may have some people here who can be annoying and even infuriating, and while we may have had some people here in the past (or, who knows, even the present) who made up crazy shit, at least we haven't ever had anything quite like this woman.

Also involves Harlan Ellison, of all people.

holy crap! great story.

At first I thought this was going to be a boring slog, but the intervention is interesting.

Wow. That woman was lucky she had good friends to help her.

That's so sad.

i seen marriages, fall apart, people meet and marry, guys came out of the closet. girls and guys pretending to be other people. all this happen on message boards.

not shocking at all. I'm shock that people are shock by this. there is alot of fake people out there. just know how to dig them out.

I've seen that Wired one before. I think there are a lot of stories like this circulating around.

state full of loonies in a loony bin!!!

The wired story is even worse because you have two people lying to each other and going crazy over it!

How they mangaged to resist pulping her is beyond me.
