Craigslist Stalker And Abuse


What is the name of your state? CA.
I wasn't sure what heading to go to for this stuff but here it is if anyone would help me. Over 3 years ago I put a singles add up at Craigslist. A very abusive male pursued me. At the time I was also ill and doing special services. My spiritual state of being was in need of any sort of kindness and fairness. This man called me up and started to abuse me verbally scaring me as well. I stopped my online single add though for quite sometime. I moved and started up again. I placed the add single female seeks single male. I placed a very clean add, no erotic, very honest, simple with good intentions in the right section.
I believe this same male started to stalk me and he would savatage my adds over and over again til no end violating my rights and I believe inflicting his emotional will upon me.

After months of writing to Craigslist about the matter and receiving no answer I decided I was at my last straw and posted a warning notice to other decent females who wanted to keep safe and not have to endure any sort of violations from a male stalker. He found the posting and once again flagged and threatened me at the same time. Craigslist supported this. He then put up a slanderous post where they wouldn't allow me to flag as they allowed him to showing a sexual preference to allow only rights for men and not the rights of women.

I want to obtain the proof to pursue a court action, restraining order and maybe a combined law suit for a long period of online stalking and abuse!

How should I go about this! Right now I won't be able to afford a lawyers fees and have to do the paperwork myself. I need all information retained by Craigslist about the savatage of my adds online, I suppose the IP address connected with it so I can track or prove it is the same man.

There was another special way I tried to handle the situation so my add could stay online long enough to allow other worthy potential partners to answer me and view my add. I went into another email account and placed a smaller add with no photos, and he answered the add. I wrote back without using my name giving him attention. I found at this point that my add stayed online without savatage and I realized it was because he was busy trying to answer me (thinking I was possibly someone else) and wasn't in abusive mood receiving attention from someone.

When I stopped communicating with him he savataged the add again.

I am not a lawyer although I worked helping lawyers with tasks at various times in my life. Can I just fill out and file a subpeona with my local court to obtain a file listing from Craigslist. Do I have to file a special explanation declaration or restraining order with the Subpeona? Can I file the subpeona by itself and just explain the situation to the judge.

I would rather not allow the 3 years or so of severe abuse go. The person caused me alot of problems and although Craigslist may be more of a problem for dating for me than other people due to this man's stalking I still retain my rights to freedom in this country and want to pursue the matter. When you allow a person such as the stalker go year after year well others suffer grief as well. I do not have to tolerate the thought of allowing another stalker to get away with years of turmoil and assaults on my freedoms. Being a woman I feel woman need to be stronger nor more than ever due to the sever neglect women have suffered under the oppressive dominance of the male complex overall in pay, jobs, market, and status and fight for their rights to safety, freedom, equality, justice and not just brush things aside and pretend they don't exist when they in fact do.

I feel I should do the same so I no longer sit in stooped position with lowered head in shame at the way I allow myself to be treated by degerates.

This man is supposedly quite wealthy and supposed to be mature (in his 50's).
What does anyone think? Thanx.

YOU can't just file subpoena's...
I would suggest that you stop using Craigslist for the purpose of dating - it's obviously causing much more grief for you than other avenues might...

Masterfully stating the obvious to the oblivious! (Thanks SP!)

Tell it like it is! When all else fails, make up a statistic!

Gender references shall apply equally to the other gender. I will not correct gender mistakes (unless I want to)
