Eliminate the asswipe

I am appalled, sick, outraged, enraged... Robyn is bringing up a situation where there appears to be a guy in Tampa who is - for lack of a better term - stalking female bloggers. It's happened to about four bloggers so far, including Robyn, and something needs to be done, as it looks like he may have latched onto a 14 year old blogger. Look, I write personal stuff about my life in my blog. Many people do. There's a sicko out there who is preying on this information and actually showing up at places where these women have said they were going in their blogs. With regularity so you just KNOW it's not coincidence. That is just SO wrong. There's other comments, too, about "inappropriate" things this guy is doing. Support Robyn, Sara, Sarah, Dania, and everyone else that has had to endure this asswipe's actions.
UPDATE: Dania outed the guy, so now he is known to the rest of us. Details about this guy are in the coments of Robyn's entry.

Thank you! I'm one of the lucky ones. I cut it off at the knees before anything really occured. But the fact he lives in the same town is less than comforting, I tell ya'!

Thank you for that! I'm so glad I live far away...Robyn isn't so lucky though. He's a traveling creep from what I can see. Never takes his wife either. I wonder why.

I too, managed to head him off at the pass, but not before he'd certainly made inappropriate comments and requests. I tried to maintain a friendship even after that because of other people involved, but finally just gave up and blocked him out of my life.

I'm very glad he lives so far away...

Everywhere I've popped up, I've been saying pretty much the same thing....that my experience with him was very shortlived, although he did make me uncomfortable. I am glad he (appears to have) taken his site down, as I was linked, and wanted nothing more to deal with him after reading of his actions with some younger girls. IMO, it was bad enough he was married and hitting on every female who would have it, but what consenting ADULTS do is their business, right? However, he crossed moral and legal lines in toying with minors.
