This one isn't as bad as the last one, but nonetheless, it's the work of some coward on this site who hasn't got the courage to to go face to face, so to speak, with me within the sight of the general forum population.

They're contacting me via one of my websites which has a pass through contact, and likely using throwaway emails to mask their identity.

If somebody knows who this person is - do the right thing and tell them it's not cool.

If the creep wants to talk to me - then have the balls to do it openly. Anything else just shows that you know damned well that you're powerless. Maybe join the Proud Boys and get some validation for your hate.

just a thought, but you might consider giving jerkheads like this less ammo by not participating (or participating anonymously) on ST.

I know it must be very difficult to ignore the creep but try to remember that allowing the poison to rest with he who sends it might be better than revisiting such hateful nonsense. Perhaps just catalog it digitally, contact a responsible LE organization to get it on record, and try to "put it in the mental dumpster/"

Do rest assured that whomever it is, they likely lead a very difficult and lonesome existence. Perhaps they don't even know that pity and love is what they need rather than for them to evoke bad emotions in others.

You're better than them HG, whomever they are.

Good advice...

If you want to feed the nonsense:

There has not been many ROTFLMAO users on ST, but one or two have used it very frequently...

ooh, do tell, let's get the mob together.


EDIT: I am just curious who you think it is, and my sarcasm about mobs was not obvious enough - let's not jump to conclusions here, my dear Watson.

Sucks to get hassled but your comment about the PBs is pretty darn close to what is being said to you...

Drop the hate (period)

Excellent call. Let's martial our forces. Tally ho!

Like Jody?

Even banned, he's still stirring the pot.

I find having a job tends to keep me out of internet drama like this.
Kinda sad, either way.

Doesn't need to end up as drama if you doesn't want it to. A bit of analysis doesn't hurt.

Yes, tell the woman to just "be good" and she probably won't get noticed. If she didn't wear such skimpy clothing she wouldn't get raped mentality.

Protect your boy at all costs. Some of you know damned well who is doing this. And no, I have no intention of pointing a finger at someone in particular. I haven't got a hell of a lot of options in dealing with this. Outing them, even though I can't name them, is about it other that hiding in silence.

And Anita, obviously having a job doesn't seem to be enough to keep you away from making catty remarks pertaining to me. What is it with you and my work not being job enough to count in your eyes? I have no doubt that when I was in my earlier profession I made double the salary you probably do. So please, stop with it already.

I can't speak to much about Supertopo because I don't spend as much time here-however, I can relate this: I am an avid online gamer, an environment unfortunately known for the prevalence of heinously toxic communities. One thing learned from this is that there exists a type of person whose only gratification for their own toxic behavior comes from your response to it.
Never respond to these people and you deny them their gratification.

It's too bad that it is that way, but that's the way it is.

Yeah, that sucks. But, good luck finding the coward...I mean, that it will be tough, and prolly not worth the effort.

I've had a ST psycho stalk my personal stuff, and it's an embarrassing pain in the ass. I feel for ya.

This kind of sh#t provides plenty of rationale for not posting one's personal info here.

Stop encouraging or excusing this sh#t. And whoever's doing this, you're an idiot. Happie has the right to live her life as she wishes and be happy in it.

If you really want to find the source you can, at least the IP address and a map of it's location. Post it, someone may recognize the location.

Navigate to an IP tracking site such as IPchecking.com, IPtrackeronline.com or IPaddresslocation.org.
Copy and paste the IP address that the email originally came from into the appropriate field. If you can't ascertain the originating IP, use the tool that allows you to paste the entire email header.

(We tracked down a student who was harassing a teacher through school email system. It didn't take long to end it once the IP address was shown on the map.)

I value your presence here and I hope you don’t change a thing about how you post.

IMO I agree with

One thing learned from this is that there exists a type of person whose only gratification for their own toxic behavior comes from your response to it.
Never respond to these people and you deny them their gratification.

It doesn’t hurt to ask someone to stop but don’t expect much success changing anyone else’s behavior. If it was me as soon as I read “you’re stupid” that’s a signal to not read another word and delete the email. It has nothing to do with you, it’s someone else’s toxic behavior that only reflects poorly on themselves. Delete and forget.

You just gave them exactly what they wanted.

Attention
Validation that they affected you


Just my opinion, but I would completely ignore the buffoon. No one is going to pop out of your laptop and strangle you. Hit delete and move on with your best life girl.

You only pick on the ones you like.

Reads to me like he has a crush on you.

Is your delete key broken?

I would look at the silver lining of this cloud... life must be pretty good! I mean, a concern that bubbles up in priority to occupy your time is about anonymous mean people sending you emails. Some adolescent (in mind if not body) is doing the intellectual equivalent of hitting a girl he likes and running to hide in the boys bathroom. And at least in this case, there is no bruise other than what you give yourself for assigning importance to it.
