What's the point of 15 words? Who can say anything of interest? Definitely not me.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the Internet gained sentience? How much information about you is online? What happens if someone/thing knew all of that? Would that freak you out? It sure would me. Everything you write, draw, even go to online could be chased down and catalogued by someone with some free time and nothing else to do. Sure you think you're safe. You use security programs and anonymous email address, but really, is there anything completely hack-proof? Even physically separated systems could be hacked into by reading the magnetic/electric effects of your computer screen, your hard drive. What then?
What does that mean? It means one of two things. Maybe three. 1) You can drop all your web interaction. As long as you don't go online it becomes much harder to analyze you. Of course, other people will reference you, and there's nothing you can do about it. Also, all of your past information is still there. 2) Ignore the problem. Assume that no one's looking at you. Realistically, what are the chances that of some six billion people on this earth, you're the target of someone? Fine, accept your ignorance. 3) Strike back. Two subcategories of this option. The first one is to be the person you're afraid of. If you can do that, you might be able to find out if someone is doing it to you, and then can counterattack. Of course, that attitude simply spreads the problem around. See, while looking for people looking for you, you're far more likely to find some innocent bystander than someone actually involved. But hey, at least it could be fun. The second attack form I like to think of as disinformation.
My basic definition of this type of disinformation is related to the idea of trying to put forth so many different images of yourself that none of them can be reconciled to an accurate picture. How do I do that you say? Hundreds of ways. Change your email addresses. Most addresses say something about the person who picked them. For that matter, even random letters say something. Try being someone different every day. Look at different web pages, read different newsgroups, post to different forums. Learn a new language or two. Read articles in those languages. Make your stalker learn the language as well. Read horribly complicated scientific documents, especially those dealing with anything which could be used in a harmful manner. See if you can spook anyone reading over your shoulder. Join a different religion daily, well, maybe weekly. Pick up a hobby that you've never liked doing. You don't have to act like a moron, or even totally act strangely, just be someone normal, but not you. Have fun.
In case of emergency break glass. Scream. Bleed to death.
