Maybe I'm just being my usual overserious self here. But I just want to point out that giving Dr. Bob a reason to call the police is *not* a very reliable way to get help. He's not always on the board - sometimes for days at a time. He has done something when he gets concerned, but it would be very dangerous to rely on his seeing a post in a timely fashion.
And as he says in the FAQ, if you feel that you aren't safe, get help in person. The internet, as wonderful as it is, just isn't enough.
And that's a general warning, not directed to anyone in particular.
I always worry when it gets known on the board that he has contacted someone's ISP that people will get the idea that he always does or can in a timely fashion.
