a rant about harassment

I didn’t want to write this post, but someone is harassing me and they won’t leave me alone. I’m getting tired of it.

For the past year and a half, someone by the name of spaggledagger / k1ttenfish / QueenDazzle / spaggly / flyentologist / pinktractorbeams / irresponsiblecaptaintaylor / radiosarah has been actively harassing me by way of spreading horribly explicit rumors regarding me.

And they aren’t true.

They have made several posts about me, and have always used my wife’s name to drum up attention. Everything they have done has been calculated to attempt to cause me as much grief as possible, with no concern for truth or acceptable behavior.

Until now, I’ve done my best to ignore her and her attempts at harassment. That was a mistake on my part. I should have made this post seventeen months ago, when the rumors began. I know better, now.

I’m going to rant a bit. If you’re okay with this, read on.

If not, don’t.

I won’t reblog their post. It’s sickening, and makes me physically ill to read. And, chances are if you’re reading this post, you already know the contents of their post.

I’m just going to address a few things in it.

Disregarding the fact that the rumors regarding me are a lie, this statement is still is a lie.

Shortly after joining our chat rooms, she announced to everyone she liked porn.

She drew porn.

She talked about how she enjoyed porn from several porn-only artists.

She talked about how her boyfriend wanted to do her bareback at a convention they met up at, and that “of course, I didn’t let him get any”.

She talked about how she sent nudes to people via phone text, and then wanted to get them in trouble for it.

She talked about how people were always getting on her case about being sexually active at her age.

This is two lies.

1: She left of her own volition. We never banned her.

2: The incident in question had nothing to do with the word “petulant”. She and her friend were copy/pasting their skype conversation / tumblr memes in our chat room, and after being subjected to the constant stream of garbage, we told them to stop. She ended up getting very defensive, and left in a huff.

This is a lie. After she voluntarily left our channels (we did not ban her; she left on her own) she has since, over the course of several months, gone out of her way twice to approach me on IRC through PMs. She approached me. Not the other way around.

In those PMs, she threatened to spread rumors about me unless I made an apology for… rumors she was going to start. She threatened that if I didn’t make up an apology, she would tell the FBI / police / child service department all about them.

I told her I hardly remembered who she even was, and that I wanted nothing to do with her. I told her to leave me and my family alone, and to never come back. She laughed at me, and I put her on ignore.

This is ridiculous. I’ve never expressed an interest in finding her whereabouts. I don’t have an interest in finding them. I just want her to leave me alone. I’ve told her this more than once, and only when she was actively threatening and harassing me.

She went out of her way to contact me, and now speaks of how she’s paranoid that I’ll go out of my way to find her. I’ve only ever told her to leave me alone, and that I had no interest in her. I still have no interest in her.

Of course I’m going to say the post is made up. It is made up. She’s done this kind of thing before, on more than one occasion.

Let that sink in a bit.

She’s done it before, to other people. She has a history of doing this. She has outright admitted that she has severe memory problems, that she’s been admitted to psychiatric hospitals several times, that she actively harasses users with made-up rumors. She herself has admitted all this, and more.

After she got upset at us and left our chat rooms, she came back and asked if our server kept logs.

She was told that no, it didn’t.

She took this to mean that nobody had logs. The rumors began shortly after that.

She only started the rumors once she thought we didn’t have logs of her interactions with us.

And, for the last seventeen months, she’s done nothing but harass me, spread rumors about me, and conspire to make my life difficult. Whenever she feels like she’s not getting enough attention over this, she makes another post. She sends emails to people I’ve dealt with in the past, “warning” them of my behavior with rumors she makes up.

For seventeen months she’s done this.

And not once in those seventeen months have I made a post regarding her. I’ve never tried to contact her. I’ve never tried to find her. I’ve never encouraged anyone to do anything to her. I’ve never mentioned her to anyone outside my immediate family, whom she was actively threatening.

I’ve only ever tried to ignore her.

She’s gone out of her way so much to harass me, and I don’t know why. I don’t care to know. The only thing of hers that was ever hurt when she was in our community was her pride.

I could write much, much more about her, and the things she’s done. She’s done a lot. But I won’t.

I could make up rumors about her, gather up some friends and start a long, never-ending harassment campaign against her. But I won’t.

I don’t hate her. I have no ill will toward her. I never have, and never will. I just want her to stop obsessing over me, and I don’t know how to achieve that.

Leave me alone. Leave my family alone. We want nothing to do with you. Stop spreading rumors about me. Go off and live your life and do something productive. Get help, like you yourself say you so badly need. Stop affiliating with the most destructive, antagonistic people on the internet.

Hi!

This is a pretty important read about some harassment my husband (avolontes / Marl) and I are undergoing right now. Learning from the last time, we’re not going to ignore this. You can read Marl’s words above on it, and shortly, you’ll be able to read a post which has log proof to counter the rumors being hurled at us. We’ve tried to ignore this kid for many months after the first time they posted these rumors, but now we can no longer ignore them because there’s a really spiteful post that’s gaining momentum.

In case you’re curious, we’re not the only people who this person has gone after. We’re not the only person who they’ve tried to spite. More on that with the post that will be coming shortly.

Thank you for reading this. I’m sorry to reblog this to my art blog, but I’m not going to sit and take complete bullshit. Ever.
