So. People following the kerfluffle about the plagiarized journal of

thamiris? Yeah, where some random weirdo has been swiping whole entries, COMPLETE WITH COMMENTS, and posting them as his own . . . to say nothing of her fic?

Uh-huh. I'm reading the stuff he had to say and he sounds like a pretty generic stalker. Claims to have had a special relationship with the object of his obsession, swears that he made certain arrangements with or promises to Tham before her death, tries to absorb her personality by passing off her thoughts and work as his own?

Your basic, generic asshole stalker, prior at least to the onset of threats and violence, when he's still in the "love-obsession" phase.

Anyone know if Tham had trouble with a stalker before her death? It might even have been a female stalker . . . claiming now to be a man would be a fairly obvious tactic to throw people off-track.

I have faith in Tham's friendslist, and I'm sure this guy/girl/goat will soon be tracked down and metaphorically hanged from the nearest lightpost, as he/she/it so richly deserves.

Actually, if he *really* wants to imitate her life down to the smallest detail, he could get cancer and die. Hopefully, very soon. Like, tomorrow.

ETA: for later reference . . .

Okay, and cheers to whomever referred to this guy as a rabid doucheweasel!!!!

ETA: Just read the so-called "apology". I wonder whose journal was plagiarized to produce that particular bit of wit.
