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?
