Who is ARSE and why is Claire O'Brien stalking him?

As always, the answer to the question of why Claire O'Brien stalks people is quite simple: She's crazy.

ARSE is an openly gay computer programmer that has posted on the FC boards since shortly after they opened. For Claire, who is highly homophobic, that alone would be reason enough to stalk him, but ARSE is also friends with Sean, Val's primary target which makes him an irresistable target.

Recently, some pictures of ARSE and his boyfriend were posted on the FF board and Claire decided to add him to her Sean stalking sites, accusing ARSE of incest by making the ridiculous claim that his boyfriend is also his brother. She made the same statement on the fuckedforum.com board.

She also ARSE of threatening another poster's (James Marks) son, saying that ARSE made posts like "Do you think you'd stop if he was to stick a screwdriver through Bastard's ears?" and "So, when you fucked Boy the first time, did he bleed?".

However, there's are some problems with that accusation. The thread that she links to is not the original thread where the threats were posted. The original thread was deleted by the board's moderator, but a screenshot is here. The screenshot clearly shows that the only registered poster in the thread was James Marks, who posts as "Hello" and "Fixed", among other monikers. The other posts in the thread were made by "dots" (.) which is a moniker used on the board for unregistered posting.

The screenshot also shows that the thread's title was "Would ARSE mind if I killed his dog?" and that James' registered post in the thread was a suggestion to "Maybe cut its head off and leave it on ARSE's doorstep". This is hardly surprising and James Marks is well known for threatening other users.

Needless to say, James is one of the few people that Claire gets along with, but even so, she's fought with him on occasion. Still, they do seem to be birds of a feather.
