Why the sudden uproar? Gabriele Huber has been spamming TVGuide.com for years now and TVGuide has always looked the other way. This is certainly nothing new. Anytime I tried to out Gabriele Huber (who posts under the primary pseudonym "Horatiolover") I was immediately and summarily deleted. Except for an occasional visit, I all but ceased going to that site.
Last summer after Gabriele Huber fled to avoid prosecution the first time, I pointed this fact out on TVGuide identifying "Horatiolover" as Caruso's indicted stalker. Someone associated with TV Guide named David (last name forgotten and/or misplaced) responded by deleting my comment and remarking "take it elsewhere" And I did! Thank you TVGuide for letting the world know that your online site aids and abets a known celebrity stalker who is on the lam for threatening to murder David Caruso. Following is a piece titled "David Caruso's Stalker SPAMS TVGuide Site" in its entirety that I ran here on February 23, 2008 citing TVGuide as a stalker-friendly site:
"The TVGuide.com website is brimming with the very latest information and updates for television shows aired across America. Unfortunately, the website also has some dark areas haunted by none other than David Caruso's Nazi stalker. Here she identifies herself as "horatiolover" and maintains not only a blog but a running battle for the last comment on this site's CSI Miami Message Board. The Nazi stalker skulks in the shadows of this Board waiting to post derogatory responses to any comment about David Caruso. She's obviously under the false impression that Internet surfers are either too stupid, too lazy or perhaps both to read anything other than the last comment posted on any given topic."Horatiolover's Blog"is simply another spoke in her elaborate wheel of Internet contrivances designed to disgrace David Caruso. Every Tuesday, until recently, the Nazi stalker updated her "Horatiolover" blog with a negative review of the previous night's episode of CSI Miami. Here is a sample of the ongoing negativity posted by "horatiolover":“CSI Miami is a perfectly created illusion. And with that we neither mean the acting nor the story lines. I daresay, CSI Miami is the only show that could be produced during the WGA strike - since they don't need writers for the cr** they show us week after week.”If someone posted anything remotely positive disagreeing with the stalker's review, she automatically deleted their comment. Once the stalker discovered that there were no comments that she could post which agreed with her weekly disapproval of the show, she quickly executed Plan B. Employing her now famous ruse of conversing with like-minded posters, she invented identities to give the illusion that someone, anyone, agreed with her. Thus, "Southernbelle98" and "Natsim" were born.Fans, not to be outdone, quickly learned to circumvent the Nazi stalker's domination of TV Guide's CSI Miami blogs and moved in droves to the Message Board where they could enjoy diverse conversations about the show. The Nazi stalker lost her capability to do away with comments that she didn't find to her liking. No delete key was enabled on the Message Board. In fact, other writers joined in and posted fair and balanced reviews of the show each week.This sent the stalker into a tailspin. People had stopped reading her TV Guide blog and fans were viewing and commenting elsewhere, namely on the Message Board. Not to be outdone, the stalker began posting negative reviews on the Message Board. Still, there were no takers. Next she invaded the comments section of Javlin's CSI Miami reviews and began commenting skirmishes. Each and every comment posted was met with a negative post by "horatiolover", "southernbelle98", "natsim" or the stalker's name du jour.Complaints to the moderators of this site seem to have fallen on deaf ears. Numerous fans have notified the moderators about who and more importantly, what "Horatiolover" really is. Much to the fans' chagrin, TV Guide has done nothing. When fans took it upon themselves to reveal who the stalker was in the comments section, TV Guide summarily deleted anything they saw as argumentative.Rarely, has TV Guide ever deleted anything posted by the known Nazi stalker. As I have stated before, David Caruso is not everyone's cup of tea. That is no excuse TV Guide! Knowing what these mods know, why does TV Guide continue to provide a "safe harbor" for this indicted Austrian stalker? Do they not understand the magnitude of the situation? This woman has threatened to murder David Caruso! She has also threatened his companion and his two-year old toddler. What does it take to convince TV Guide?If you visit TVGuide.com to post on the CSI Miami message board, do so at your own risk. The mods here tend to side with the indicted Austrian stalker. Why, is any one's guess."

Obviously nothing has changed and nothing ever will. When Gabriele Huber first sought revenge against David Caruso for rejecting her, she was the only game in town on the Internet. New sites welcomed her with open arms. Later as fans found these sites once dominated by Huber, they challenged her ridiculous and antagonistic views to no avail. Many were deleted and Huber was allowed to continue unabated. Could Steve Bochco be one of this TVGuide.com's investors?
