For the first seven minutes of this video (scroll down), I explain why I think Luke Wenke is more evil than ill, and why I think institutionalising him would be a grave mistake (if you’ve already heard/read that shpeal, then maybe you’ll want to skip past this part). I then discuss a major example (with screenshots) to further illustrate why I feel this way. If you watch/listen to this video (thank you for doing so, I really appreciate it), please ask yourself if someone who does something as cold and calculating as this understands the wrongfulness of their actions.

Several years into my friendship with Luke Wenke, I realised he was the culprit behind a years-long harassment and cyberstalking campaign I had endured on the now-defunct message board website Topix. I dislike talking about this topic (no pun intended), so while I’m open to answering questions and conversing about it when necessary, I tend to leave it in the past. There’s nothing I can do about it now. I have no legal recourse, and it deeply disturbs me to think about the level of cruelty involved in doing something like this.

Wenke knew that this ordeal took a massive toll on my mental health. As my close friend (or so I thought), he had a front-row seat to my anguish. Meanwhile, I was largely oblivious to the fact that he was behind the cyberstalking and harassment, and that he was knowingly causing me to suffer while witnessing the damaging impacts of his behaviour firsthand. Pardon my French, but if that’s not diabolical on an alarming fucking level, then I don’t know what is.

In this video, I also discuss Wenke’s reaction when I confronted him with my suspicions about him being the cyberbully/stalker, and how I ultimately confirmed these suspicions years later.
