While I'm not inclined to give much air time to our new Hely imposter (communicating with the email address [email protected]), this is too funny to pass up. In a creepy sort of way, that is. Whoever you are: Once is amusing; twice is stalking. Just so you know.
From: Robin Hely <[email protected]>Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 20:21:24 +0000Subject: Mon Petit Agneau Prisé! Lady JMy little treasured lamb,
Do you know about the Red Stick yet and that you must go there? But not
until you have come to see me first. In the Longhorn State as they say.You see, I direct you.
You have no will of your own. You may think you do, but I am the current
running through your body, every impulse coming from me. I am inside you.
Feel it.Do you remember the night? You eargerly opened your door and then you looked
me in the face longing for me. I have forgiven you for taking my breath
away, for taking my soul. It follows you constantly. If you try, you can
touch it.Maintenant! Maintenant! It is time. The Red Stick awaits you.
You must come to me first or it will be too late to hear my love for you.
Only for you will I tell them.
I know what you want, mon petit agneau prisé! I have what you want.
In two weeks I will be dead and have nothing to say. Ha!
Will you release me to the ecstasy?
Or will I release you? Sinking my teeth into your soft, round loveliness.
If you do not find me, I will find you.
Love and rapture.
RH
Anyone get a similar letter? Or am I just a lucky girl?
Some one has been reading too much Anne Rice - the faux N'awleens nightcrawler sentiments are dreadful.
Needs a Red Stick up where the sun doesn't shine.

I agree with that sentiment. Why is it the loonies come out to play when I vanish?
Posted by: Alex | 14 March 2005 at 03:02 PM
lucky?
hmmmm... he has a certain charm doesn't he?
Still a psycho.

ew ew ew ewwwwwwwww..........i can't stop picture a baby lamb getting raped and then eaten.
i think a guy wrote something similar to me in high school.
and to cc: the cam? lovely.
Posted by: constance | 14 March 2005 at 04:00 PM
Yeah, I love that he cc'ed the Cam. Awesome.
Can I claim workplace sexual harrassment and file a nice big lawsuit? ;)
Posted by: lady j | 14 March 2005 at 04:30 PM
Umm.... red stick? Disgusting.
We're obviously dealing with a real sicko here.
Posted by: Midnight | 14 March 2005 at 05:57 PM
Oh, I'm *sure* he was simply referring to the lovely city of Baton Rouge ... yes, quite.
(Am I seriously the only one who got an email like this? Cripes. Now I am starting to feel a bit stalked...)
Posted by: lady j | 14 March 2005 at 07:34 PM
Urk. That was horrible.
>Yeah, I love that he cc'ed the Cam. Awesome.

>lawsuit? ;)
I knew it; you secretly work for Neurocam.
You *so* do.

Shemyaza is on the mark, here. Reading that errant purple prose, you get the notion this person is wearing a synthetic-fiber crushed-velvet pirate shirt. Gross.
Posted by: Elmo Oxygen | 15 March 2005 at 06:12 AM
I'm so glad all of you agree this is not my work. I think we are dealing with a spotty teenager with too much time on his/her hands who is indeed attired in said crushed velvet pirate shirt!
I wonder why he/she has chosen to impersonate me? I think I shall send an email....
By the way I got an email from Methodius saying that this person has hacked my email address. Perhaps Methodius didn't notice the 'nc' in the address. Shoddy work Meths!
Personally I think Meths and RHnc are the same person....

You like, know you're local FBI number, yes? :)
Posted by: jo | 15 March 2005 at 02:00 PM
Robin Hely said "Personally I think Meths and RHnc are the same person".
I haven't spoken to Methodius since our ill-fated fishing trip, but he -did- mention some plan regarding the impersonation of Robin Hely.
It's also worth noting that it's easy to post a comment here as someone else. Just because "Robin Hely" posted a comment above, and from a legitimate email address (if that -is- Hely's real address), doesn't mean it was actually posted by Hely.
I might not even be Xul Solar! Look into my eyes, not around the eyes, not around the eyes, just look into me eyes.
Posted by: xulsolar23 | 15 March 2005 at 03:34 PM
Xul: That thought occurred to me too. The writing style isn't quite Hely's, but the email address he posted is the one he's been using to communicate with me. That doesn't mean much, though.
Still, why would somebody bother to impersonate Rob just to stick up for him?
Jo: My brother-in-law is a US Marshal; I'm not worried. This guy gets the tiniest bit threatening and it's all over. (But thanks for your concern :)

Hi all this is beltaine, Just to try and prove Xul's theory: -
"It's also worth noting that it's easy to post a comment here as someone else. Just because "Robin Hely" posted a comment above, and from a legitimate email address (if that -is- Hely's real address), doesn't mean it was actually posted by Hely."
I have posted this using Robin Helys details. Fingers crossed X
Posted by: Robin Hely | 16 March 2005 at 01:29 AM
Beltain, I think the theory is clear to everybody. I'd rather people didn't post under false (or appropriated) identities on my blog, for archival reasons as well as ethical.
Of course I can't help it when people do so clandestinely, but I really don't want this to become a "look, it can be done" trend.
Any further instances will be deleted.
Thanks.

Mr. Hely,
In antithesis to Jo's question, why would I invent an alter-ego who "reveals" me to be one of Hasting's agents, only to have me deny this and request that this alter-ego be ignored?
Also, as I have told Mr. Hely, I am well aware that [email protected] is not his address. However, I sent a message to Mr. Hely suggesting that [email protected] "may" be hacked, as mine had been at the time, and I feared the same had befallen him.
Xul,
It is easy to be a prophet after the event. Your weblog may be a work of fiction, but that does not entitle you to make the same of others'.

the red sticks are coming out- DUCK!
Posted by: constance | 16 March 2005 at 03:29 PM
Methodius - I answer only to Elmo Oxygen. When he tells me to cease my blog, I will.
Posted by: xulsolar23 | 16 March 2005 at 05:46 PM
I was staring at this charming tidbit of pervesrion when a thought hit me:
Longhorn State.
Texas.
Kristina.
Game, set, match.
Seems our favorite little uppity chickie-poo has found a new way to entertain herself.
Posted by: Midnight | 18 March 2005 at 04:10 PM
Midnight: You may be on to something...
Posted by: Elmo Oxygen | 19 March 2005 at 11:14 AM
Yeah, that was my first instinct too, but
1: I don't think Kristina could pull off that kind of torrid purple prose, even as badly written as it is.
2: I think it would be outside of her comfort zone to write such a sexually fetishized letter to another woman, even under a male alias.
3. UNOWHOIAM's IP address originates from Amsterdam.
The Longhorn comment may have been intended to make us suspect Kristina, but my instincts say it's not her.
