7. Be Reasonable - Your attacks should be in response to the stalker's - and their first line of defense will be to accuse you of stalking - so don't go over the top. You'll usually be amazed how easy it is to attack a stalker, but exercise restraint. If they write in your forum, and it's safe to respond - then write in theirs. But be honest, brief and to the point - even if you post in every thread.

8. Keep records of all that you do, as well as what they do - and consider writing a web diary, or opening a web page to expose them. They may well have a reputation to lose - if they deserve to lose it, help them to lose it (example - The Zeppo).

9. Share The Laughter - However unnerving a stalker may be, if you look at them coldly in the light of day, they are pretty ridiculous. Some are Nothing But Ridiculous (example - Spiro). Savour that; turn it around, let them - and the world - see how ridiculous they are. Every time you mock them, you gain, and they lose. Share The Laughter.

Makes me wanna hurl!

I wonder what it would take for me to walk across that thing? Just looking at the pics I literally start to sway in my chair. I wonder if Joe tried to talk me into it and walked with me, if I would do it. It's feckin nuts! It would have to take somebody like Joe to get me out on that thing. Maybe if we had enough alcohol... lol!

Jayzus, that's just crazy!

Mikesb, glad to hear your father in law finally had his surgery...now hopefully he can get down to the business of healing up...bless his heart. You have a beautiful family!

guitarmatt, I'm not sure who's worse? The idiot who posts the video on youtube, or the idiot who shares the link and ups the hits on it.

Dude, think before you post. LOL!

Quote of the century - "Honey, just don't let yer dick dangle in yer milk and yer good :) "

I'll let y'all think about that for a minute. Talk amongst yerselves.

Burly,

There are quite literally thousands of different paranormal groups of all types all around the country. Everything from your solo "psychic" to your large organizations. There are even a few spread nation wide, and then it increases even more when you start talking about the world.

Unfortunately not all of the groups out there are respectable. People within the paranormal community run the gammot from complete wackjobs to serious people doing serious scientific study and everything in between. Unfortunately the inbetween generally consists of various types of frauds with various motives, to charlatans that are just out to make a quick buck. That's where most of your groups on television fall. They just want the money associated with the paranormal.

In some ways it's very irritating to serious people like myself because they ultimately cause a bad image for us that we spend a lot of time trying to repair. That's the point of the documentaries that I'm working on, and a book that I have in the works. In this case though in the works means I'm still outlining it in my head to make sure I say everything I want to say.

That's about enough time on the soap box I guess. Though if anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I'll be more than happy to answer them.

;) I love a good hot cereal.

Hey skippygirl, here ya go, it's almost like a lil private lesson with Joe

You'll be 'boogie-ing' before ya know it :)

Skippy: I grabbed my camera and asked Joe to give Skippygirl 10 personal tips directly aimed at helping her improve bends, hammers and all sorts of fun stuff!!

So here you go: Personal tips for SkippyGirl straight from Joe.

Actually, that's utter crap... I just found it on youtube... But it useful anyway..

Cheese and roo - aw thanks for that guys :0) I find Joe's instructions easiest of all to follow but way above my skill level at the moment. I tried bending last night and it ain't happenin, just like my attempts at hammer ons you need a hearing aid to hear the sound :0).

Mind you, Ode To Joy is sounding better. My daughter stands there and makes the time signature thing with her hands (you know the up down side side thing) whilst I try to play it. Then she says "very good Mum, keep practicing" and leaves.

Good Morning from Arkansas.
Joe has the best mini lessons on the net. His teaching style is great. It is always a plus when the listener feels at ease with any teacher if it be guitar or mathematics.
