Karen De Coster: Weirdo Magnet
Feb 01, 05 | 7:52 pm by John T. KennedyGo easy on her guys, she’s a woman after all. And De Coster has a full plate:
* total strangers, whom I met once, for 5 minutes at a conference, sending me emails, asking me when they can come to visit me
* the types above getting angry that I don’t respond, and sending follow-up emails, where they are livid over the fact that their earlier emails got no response
* weirdos sending distasteful pics to me, and yes, via snail mail.
* weirdos calling my home phone, leaving handfulls of messages (home phone now gone, because of that)
* weirdos sending me letters via snail mail, after I don’t respond to their 5 or 6 emails
* weirdos sending me rather creepy dating resumes
* Lastly, it cuts a little bit close when I ignore incessant emails, and they show up at my home, knocking on my door, asking to come in and “talk to me.” I kid you not.
I know what some of you are thinking: Sabotta. But I doubt he’s done even half the things on that list.

I got Sabotta’s address off the web and showed up, quite unannounced, at his door one dark, December night. He acted like a woman for about 15 minutes and wouldn’t let me in, but once he realized I wasn’t going to leave, he came out and we chatted until the wee hours of the morning.

That’s the danger of posting your address on the internet.

I have not been pestering dear Karen at all.
The mysterium conjunctus is a sacred Ritual and must be entered into in accordance with one’s True Will, as they say in the O.T.O.
