I should have read back further and I would have seen there was another Steve. Not such are rare name really.

Fantastic Kirsty! This is a brilliant shot.

Thanks Greg! I'm extremely proud of this shot. This was the one shot last storm season that I was the only chaser on the storm, and I got the only shots of it ( with a camera, not a phone.. there are a few phone photos floating around, but none like this). I chased this one on my own, with no help from anyone else, and I came up with the goods. I was on cloud 9 afterwards!! lol

Kirsty, this harrassment is even worse than I had any idea of. I know that you are one of the strongest people I have met, so having affected you like this I shudder to think how it would have affected most people.

This ordeal will, I believe, make you stronger in the long term, and will teach your children and everyone who hears of this, to stand up for right and to stand fast against bullies, but it is something I wish had never happened to begin with.

Hugs to you as you work towards your ultimate goal, and I can't help but wish all sorts of nasty little surprises on this person.
Karma is alive, and it will catch up to him one day soon, if it has not already.
Di

Thanks Di, yeah it's not very nice is it. And all because he thieved one of MY photos in the first place and I arced up ( same as anyone would really! ) I wish he'd just fall off the face of the planet. I'm not the kind of person to wish nasty stuff on people usually, and I'm not one to hold grudges and I've never hated someone in my lifetime til he came along... I don't like the feeling of having hatred in me, I feel weighed down by it all, hopefully something will be done sooner rather than later and karma will do something to him..

I would have thought that he could be charged under the using a carriage service to threaten under commonwealth legislation, and a quick google found this.case study:
A 19 year old male in Canberra used Facebook to threaten another man, that man’s brother and the brother’s girlfriend for more than two weeks. He posted comments on the man’s Wall, like “You’re a dead dog…don’t forget I know where you live”, and also made threats using Facebook Chat. The man was charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence (section 474.17 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code 1995) and sentenced to six months imprisonment.
So I wonder why something has not been done. People like you and Kirsty should not have to go through what he has put you through.

The problem is proving the posts were done by a specific identifiable human.
Facebook are less than helpful.
The police just say close your FB account.

As Kym said, it's hard to prove that it's not him sitting behind the keyboard. I mean if you look at the writing styles, and the punctuation and grammar, anyone with eyes can prove it's him. :-/ I think it should be the other way, I think he should have to prove its NOT him... :-/

Fantastic image Kirsty and congrats!!

Who could expect anything less really. Congrats Kirsty.

Fabulous photo Kirsty. Deserves all the accolades it's getting.

As for the cyber bully that tried to claim it as his work, just ignore/block the moron. He sounds like a sad excuse for a human being who lives in some sort of fantasy world of his own making.

And therein lies the problem, this troll keeps creating false sites/ FB profiles then posting that people are paedophiles etc.
He is a VERY nasty piece of work.
He is a lying piece of bottom dwelling scum. And that insults scum.

Thanks Cage, but it's like Kym said, he makes a fake profile and comes back again. Of the banned and blocked profiles on my fb and my photography page, 17 on the list belong to him, and they're just the ones we know about :-/ He's relentless.. though he has been quiet, no wait, I take that back, he might have been busy for all I know, I've since shut my fb down.

[Cage]

The sad thing about this guy is that he obviously needs help, of the psychiatric kind.

The worrying thing is that he either doesn't know it, or won't admit it.

He needs to be incarcerated for a long time, he has threatened serious violence including arson and death.

Well done Kirsty - an amazing image. I took one just like it (OK .. OK ... it just had sky and grass in it ). Yours is an incredible image and the number of views is astounding. You're entitled to sit back and bask in the glow of success for quite some time!!

[sunset]

Wow well done Kirsty, that's amazing. The wonders of the www and of course a great photo

[yummymummy]

Thanks guys! I'm pretty proud of myself. Just keep thinking, if I can produce this with a crappy lil seqld storm, imagine what I'll come back from the states with next year

[Mark L]

..., if I can produce this with a crappy lil seqld storm, imagine what I'll come back from the states with next year

Well that will depend won't it. Don't get wiped out trying for the ultimate hurricane photo. Though ......

[leanneqld]

I've been hiding under a rock and just found this...............way to go Kirsty. Amazing work.

[yummymummy]

nah won't get wiped out. actually really looking forward to it, friends went to tornado alley last year and came back with some incredible photos, but they're chasers, not photographers ( cept one of them), they got some nice shots, but, not really sure how to process them... and of course, won't hand them over for processing rofl... ( who would right?! ) I can't wait. This time next year I'll be on my way home after chasing tornadic supercells for 3 weeks!

That's what we're trying to figure out too agb... how is his life, more important than anyone elses... I mean, yeah he's the premier, but so what, he doesn't run a household, and look after 6 kids ( 7 if you include my hubby lol ) ... That's going to be my next argument when I take my police report in... There can't be rules for one, and other rules for another.

I absolutely agree with you Kirsty.
He is probably less important, he would be easily replaced. He probably could not look after 6(7) kids.
By the way I noticed the other day that Dr. Bruce Flegg is very interested in cyber bullying,it just might pay to contact his office and talk to them there about your case.
