It is quite possible for someone to be mentally unstable and otherwise appear normal. Suffering from severe paranoia and delusions of grandeur does not at all mean that you can't type correctly or communicate in a normal fashion. People who are trying to defend the OP here are doing the mental health community an injustice by reinforcing negative stereotypes. Most people who suffer from mental illness look and act completely normal. Its what they do to themselves in their own mind and behind closed doors that signals the mental health issue. Just because you have mental health problems doesn't mean you have to be chained up and put in a padded room, or that your only capable of mumbling and foaming at the mouth!
Gang stalking is a symptom of extreme delusions of grandeur combined with paranoia.
Indeed. It is possible that there are black Muslim criminals living in Tottingham. It's even possible that some subset of said criminals may have even lived in Harrogate for several years previously. Does this cast suspicion on you as an individual? Not warranted, but yes, you could get some backlash by being pigeonholed by external qualifications. But is the interior qualifications that distinguish a good and just man from a criminal.

But all you're showing is that individuals, who are Masons, just like individuals, who are Christians, have been found to have committed illegal acts.
I can do that with any particular group of people, but that doesn't make a statement of the group as a whole.

To generalize that Freemasons turn a blind eye to criminals within their ranks is just as bad as generalizing Freemasons as criminals. Individuals may be criminals. Individuals may turn a blind eye to criminals. I see no indication that there's an institution-wide policy that promotes either.

Maybe you right and Freemasons are not criminals or involved in organised stalking as I allege. That means I owe Freemasonry a profound apology. I also note that you know that I am African, Muslim, live in Tottenham and had lived in Harrogate. That's obviously not a chanced guess so you must also know that I have committed no crime and entirely respectful of my country and the community I live in.
My question; is this external qualification some kind of profiling and by whom? Further, surveillance is one thing but organised stalking is both a direct attack and aims to disrupt a life for the worst; what is the purpose and how does it profit the abuser? All they have achieved is in teaching me how psychological warfare is conducted against the person and according to your position, caused me to blame the wrong party. More interestingly, many of the other victims I have met are nothing like me and are from all sections of society. I also realise some of these victims may not be genuine.
Or, the simple solution is, I know nothing about you that you haven't already publicly posted on ATS.

An ATS member, JoshNorton, commented above on my personal details. I can only surmise that for him to have any of my details is a consequence of the organised stalking and harassment I have been put through in the past four years. Of course he could have hacked into ATS, got my ip address then hacked my internet provider secured my name and address then done a background check to pull a fast one here.
Perhaps. But being on the receiving end, which was more interesting to you? The idea that I'm a Freemason who, through Masonic channels got passed a dossier on you? The idea that I independently hacked ATS? Or the truth that I'm simply a Discordian who can't resist screwing with people's heads from time to time?

So, let me get this straight. It would seem to your way of thinking that is was more likely that JN had hacked ATS to get your IP address, then hacked into your ISP to get name and address and then done some sort of background check? Being a Mason, he must by rights be a copper, right? Either that, or he's gang stalking you from New Jersey? Not Jersey which'd be a smidge easier (though not especially easy) but from New Jersey?
Never considered Occam's Razor, had you? How about being hoist on one's own petard?

I admit you fooled me, but does it mean that you can dismiss my complaints?
Originally posted by masonwatcher
So we need to ask why would you go so much trouble to comb through all my comments in the past year to conduct such a contrivance? You simply wanted to rattle an organised stalking victim.
By JN's own admission, the amount of time was small and by extension the trouble minor. Maybe he wanted to show to you just how easily you misinterpret and misconstrue events.

No it is not my way of thinking that JN would have hacked his way through to my personal details.

It was an improbable proposal juxtaposed with his possible source of information. Maybe I was not clear enough or maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension.

Incidentally, isn't being hoisted by ones own petard a classic masonic tactic? Of course the hoist is the hang man's noose and the petard is the victim's deeds. The task is to bring them together by hook or by crook and JN exemplified this skill perfectly.

I disagree, it is an effort and scholarly but the the intent is questionable.

You have to consider the motives for such a deception.
Originally posted by JoshNorton
I mean, at first blush it was easy to believe I was part of the gang stalking by my use of such knowledge, when in fact, it was your own paranoia which lead you to jump to that conclusion.

Originally posted by masonwatcher
Whether he is involve in my stalking or harassment is something I never claimed. My allegation is simply that some Freemasons part take in organised stalking and other criminal endevours.

"Effort"? "Scholarly"? By that definition, everyone who's ever Googled is a scholar in your book. Large book. As for the intent, he's pretty obviously applying Occam's Razor to your posited Rube Goldberg assertions.
Yes scholarly and effort; the man speculatively read my postings stretching back a year back. To what end put collect any information he could. I consider that weird. In fact it also displays a stalker personality.
He didn't deceive you. He was quite straightforward as to the origin of the information. He only suggested that had he been of a mind to, he could have let you take the bait like a trout and in fact, you would have.
He was quite straightforward in his agenda, deception. He harvested my postings, recycled it and passed off as ominous knowledge. It was shocking as it was meant to be.
In the face of Freemasonry, we are all trouts ready to be skinned.

If gangstalking doesn't make you paranoid, then you must be insane. A healthy amount of paranoia keeps you alive otherwise you would walk out into traffic without looking all the time.
Pretty thin line between a claim and an insinuation. In any case, your "claim" of Mason stalking is pretty wafer-thin stuff if it's of the same value as your concerns about JN's accessing information about you.
Not really. The internet allows for free exchange of information. At the time of JD's deception, I surmised that he may have access to a Masonic stalking forum with all the victims photographs and personal details plastered all over the place. Is there such a forum?
Re; hoisted by ones own petard
Hmmm....interesting. Doesn't seem to correlate with any definition here. Perhaps you could provide a link to some reputable source that uses it in the manner you refer to.
I know what is the literal definition. But I also imparted my take on how masons attack an individual by weaponising their own deeds against them. A different take on being hoisted by one's on petard when the pertard is not a grenade but a shield or any other defensive devise.
Publicising masonic grudges is my defense to the attack of organised stalking and I am still young with many years left. I only hope to take a tiny junk out of Freemasonry and encourage other victims to do the same until it stops.
