They were waving them over their heads, looking at their cell phones and then looking at me repeatedly, endlessly pushing the buttons of the cell phone in rapid fashion in a manner that would suggest a disorganized and helter skelter jumble of letters and numbers as opposed to an attempt to compose a well thought out message. Others at the swimming pool were simply staring at me with expressions of utter hostility, hate, and oddness. Upon observing these people and their strange actions, I had thought that they were strange and were perhaps mistaking me for someone else or were simply playing a gag or prank on me, so I dismissed it as the actions of rude people.
However, as I went on throughout my day and every day for the next several weeks thereafter I came across this cell phone behavior too many times to discount any longer. Cell phones over this period of time became an object of dread for me, as whenever I saw someone using one (which of course is quite often now in our technology-saturated culture) I had to stop and wonder if this person was involved with this harassment as well. Most people would simply use their cell phones in a normal way without any sign of being one of "them." Unfortunately, however, all too often I would come across another of the gangstalkers who would trigger me by acting out in some fashion as they used the cell phone, usually making eye contact and usually a look of hostility upon their faces.
It is believed that the mechanism utilized to create this sensitization to these objects and behaviors is what has come to be known as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). It is a mind technology developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler and made famous by such people as Anthony Robbins and others. Unfortunately, however, this is something that although it was designed with the idea of helping people to overcome various phobias and unhealthy behaviors, it is now being used to create phobias and destroy a given individual. It is a process where one feels as if one's personality is being whittled down to the point where nothing may be left.
I myself have been changed by this in a way in which I will never forget. I am not the same man I used to be. I used to take my autonomy for granted, being able to simply go out to grab a bite to eat, go to a store or wherever. Now, however, the first thing I think about is the question of whether or not I will encounter one or more of these hideous people."

Maybe I missed something because, truthfully, I pulled a nutz and didn't read it all.
