Quote of the Day

A blogger is facing charges for cyberstalking after harassing a woman online. While that sounds like the inside jacket of my autobiography, it’s in fact a guy named Jeff Martin in North Carolina harassing a fellow blogger by sending her 27 emails in the course of an hour. Because that seemed like a good idea at the time.

Jeff Martin, who writes the blog site Vie Di Malchance, is charged with annoying fellow blogger Dr. Mary Johnson, of Asheboro, under North Carolina’s cyberstalking law. “Vie De Malchance” is French for “life of misfortune.”

“When your hobby is making people angry, at some point I quit keeping up with who’s mad at me,” Martin said Wednesday.

Martin said he and Johnson got into a feud over the Randleman Dam, a local water project that he supports. The feud escalated when Martin, who writes his blog under the name “fecund stench,” sent 27 e-mails to Johnson in less than an hour.

“I probably frightened her and I didn’t mean to do that. I screwed up,” Martin said.
