Time To Grow Up...

Yes boys and girls, there are such things as Internet trolls who love nothing more to do than to stalk people and find out things about people that they think is juicy news. Instead of letting this mindless creature try to control me and this situation I decided just to let 'er rip!

Have you ever heard of the movie "mean girls" well you know something there really are mean girls out there. Are these are not "girls" anymore... These are grown women like to stalk people the Internet make up fake accounts and then plant nasty comments about their target. Chances are they have self esteem issues and obviously no conflict resolution skills so in order to make themselves feel important they bully and harass from behind the computer screen. Once they find a juicy piece of so called information, they quickly call whomever they can share this bit of information but they don't always realize that that information has already been shared via THIS blog...

So I'm calling them out, much like I would the students in my class who employ this tactic. If I won't put up with it there then why would I put up with it here. So what if I've had MRSA or fibromyalgia? Oh and comments about my appearance are laughable because all you can say is that I'm ugly ... Have you looked in the mirror as of late?

This is a PUBLIC blog so in your quest to discredit me, you come across as a complete moron!!! So I'll just reiterate what I said the last time trolls came to feed: Yes, freedom of speech is a right, but where does that right end and one is exercising their right to free speech in order to harass someone. Well because the law is so vague, many states have directly addressed this issue. If anything, when harassment is written, one can sue based on libel, but that is touchy because there have to be several people in on the harassment depending on state laws. When something is said, that may be deemed slander, especially when someone owns a business or their livelihood is threatened by such comments or talk. So why am I addressing this? Well, I think that some people in this world need to realize, that regardless of their "right" (in their minds) to say whatever they want, there are limitations to what is considered acceptable.

On any account, I am an adult, so I can determine what is worth my time and what isn't, but let me tell you, viciousness in attacking someone else for making the right decision when you aren't motivated to do anything but watch TV all day and stalk people, is pretty pathetic in my book. People can be some of the most mean and disgusting individuals when their TRUE colors come through. In my case, being harassed isn't that big of a deal because as I mentioned in my last post, I thrive under pressure and I really don't care about what they think about me. But there are others in the world, who become deeply hurt and scarred by constant harassment.

First off, any "lady" and I use the term loosely, who feels that she has to call another woman curse words and "white trash" must have a pretty low opinion of herself. For telling the receiver that she should be ashamed of herself is a mute point... The receiver already mentioned that she was ashamed AND was sorry. To me, that shows more character than someone who would hide the truth, OR try to shame someone more, just because they saw the opportunity to kick her when she was down.

Another thing that I find interesting is that this person seems to think by stating the obvious public opinion will change. Either, they are full of it and are trying to elevate themselves... AGAIN, or they are really insecure and want the target to think that they are so much better than they are. Honestly, I call their bluff!

So where does someone go from here? Well, first and foremost, I have no problem calling people out. I basically have done that with my blog by using my First Amendment Rights as well. However, I also believe that if the harassment is continuous, then it is ok to report it to the powers that be and then let it go. People who do this sort of thing eventually get found out for the type of people that they are. Regardless, the people who are helping this person harass, should also be afraid and aware that if she is doing this to someone else, she might very well do this to them. Of course, bullies don't like to be called out and confronted when they are harassing people. Point blanks: the stalker is obviously insecure and probably has her own issues.

I am especially troubled when someone else is being attacked this way as well. I suspect that many people do this to deal with their own feelings of inferiority and inadequacy in an attempt to make themselves feel better. Instead of doing that, they should be honest with the person they are jealous of and explain what their issues are. That is what truthful and honest people do, rather than make themselves look evil by their actions and words.

Remember: jealousy and hatefulness NEVER look good on anyone, no matter how hard you try! Instead of wasting time and energy being negative, try being kind and forgiving. One of my favorite sayings is:

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss... 

I couldn't have said it better myself!!!
