He always told me he was doing it in fun but sometimes it seemed like more of an obsession. I still remember the day he "thought" he found Kelli's sisters myspace. He spent a good chunk of time analyzing the damn page trying to get any info he could. Although his story about being on the phone with Kelli when he was on his roadtrip and the call suddenly dropping just as he got close to where Kelli lived and then her not picking up anymore was pretty fuckin hilarious!
Truthfully, i was really obsessed with anyone that was incredibly secretive on here. In my head, I felt that if you were being so secretive, you were hiding something. I had this need to know why. I did not respect privacy at all. That's why I created dozens of exposure threads. I don't regret most of them because they were people that I knew were lying about their identities and it pissed me off.
However, in the case of Kelli, I'm more embarrassed than anything. I should have respected her privacy. She was a great person and I enjoyed talking to her quite often on the phone in a very interesting, party-filled, time of my life. I didn't respect boundaries and definitely crossed the line. She was down to earth and it has always been up to her on what she should share. What you see is what you get with her--there's no grey area.
I screwed that "e-friendship" up bad and no repairing that one. Hope all is well with her.
