So, not too long ago (I think about a month), I was being driven home, and as we entered the city I live in, I felt strange, off balance, and generally icky. I knew it was an energy thing, and I commented on it to my then-boyfriend, who was driving at the time. Now, he's not the energy-sensitive type, but he did kind of look at me funny and told me that I was imagining things, and that the night seemed fine to him.
I got home, and checked my email. Apparently, somebody from Satanist.net decided to send me hate mail out of the blue. In badly translated Turkish. We tracerouted it, and it came all the way from a Turkish server (which incidentally had its default settings still up, so I got a nice good look at the user's info, but I'm not the vengeful sort). I took another grope at the ick that was hovering around me, and decided it must have been a badly botched attempt at Satanist magicking. No really, it was mangled.
A friend of mine has been amping my shields for me, and he noticed it too.
Anyway, it happened once more. Once again, the shields helped block most of it, but it got to me more. Not to mention, wandering around with this cloud of bad feelings just isn't fun for my sensitive friends.
So a third time, yes, it happened again. Only this time, I got fed up with the whole thing (having had a bad day), and decided that doing it the "normal" way, that is, with shields and such, I'd do it my way.
I dropped the shields, grabbed whatever it was, and ate it. With my aura. I got a nice big surge of energy, too, just like when you eat a Clif bar...
I figured I'd post it here where the Satanist folks can bat it around, since that's where it's coming from.
Comments? Any way I can make this joker stop?

I got something like that in my email too from Satanist.net. Two weeks later I lost my job. I don't think tho that it had anything to do with my newfound unemployment, it was my credit. Thats beside the point, in Satanist circle especially online you're going to get curses lobbed at you once in a while (I got 5 including one from Lord Egad (Egan) of the old FCoS). Basicly they never work so fuck it.

o/ ***raises his astral projection hand***
I got that e-mail too, it said something about blocking their server with shit and because of that they've crashed, and then f**k f**k f**k you piece of shit, or something like that. My first thoughts were "what the fuck, what have I ever done to harm this guy, I don't even know him etc...". Then I thought about sending a really nasty answer, wrote it down but never actually sent it because I wasn't up for any virtual warfare.
In stead, I wrote a polite answer asking what I've possibly done and said that I didn't know him etc...never heard of him since. I think it neutralized the situation fine, I don't fight fire with fire if not forced to.

It was in turkish? I didn't have anything about server issues.. But yeah, it was one badly misshapen p.o.s., I think I might have gotten astral indigestion.

My question is how on earth is a cursed placed through the internet???? I mean the internet is not exactly the mail where there is some direct physical connection.
From the very little I know about telephone systems they are run through fibre optic cables to copper cables and through various electronic stations. And in some cases the signals are sent from satellite transmitters from a ground station out into space to a communication satellite and back down with radar to a communication receiving station and then transported through coppper or fiber glass cables. Now this doesnt include the exchanges from telephone to internet servers. Its a really really complex system. I have a friend that works at a major telephone company according to him nobody alone knows how the entire system works. Instead what they do is have many units of people dealing with one apartment of the system. What makes it even more complex is when one telephone company needs to connects to another company. Apparently most companies have different systems operating. So their systems may have an entire different philosophy on how telephone exchanges work. He mentions at work there are departments where everyone walks around in shorts because the electronic systems in the room is so vast that it needs to be cooled by freon but is still pretty hot due to all the electricity running around in thousands of wires and electronic parts. (Not to mention mirochip exchange systems that are used. Thats a whole different issue all by itself.) Really confusing if you ask me.

Hmm... well to me the answer is that it is not necessarily done through the medium of the "physical" apparatus of the net, but through the conenctions it forms between people, and the shared mental territory thereby established. Though I suppose you could work on a model of it working via the wires, etc if you wished...My question is how on earth is a cursed placed through the internet????
