How did it start for you?

As I give some pressure, the emails I'm getting from grarpamp are getting less discerning and consistent in what they criticise. Me, I got psy'd while surveilled after revealing myself basically as a lone hacktivist. My symptoms ended up following a pattern similar to some of those shown by a girl sent to me whom I tried to protect, and then things went farther for me as I tried to use cryptography to act on what happened. It took many many months of covert manipulation. I think it might "up the ante" when we try to be more effective, dunno. What's your experience? How do we protect people who are only partway in?
