The trolls, of course, got upset with my exposing their tweets to the world<\/a> the other night, as was expected.\u00a0 I discovered a new (to me) troll account in my notifications the next day, with a whole bunch of scolding tweets.\u00a0 Instead of reading them, I blocked her (which made them all vanish) and reported her.<\/p>\n

Just trying to choose five tweets while reporting her to Twitter Support was nerve-wracking.\u00a0 These people are monsters.\u00a0\u00a0If she thinks I’ll read all her book-long tweets to\/about me, she’s deluded.<\/p>\n

While glancing over and choosing the five tweets, I noted that these (and other) trolls complain about their “targets” asking for help reporting them.\u00a0 They remind me of Trump and his cries of “presidential harassment.”<\/p>\n

Victims of Twitter bullying often find that Twitter Support is no help, so they need to ask their friends in an attempt to get Twitter to pay more attention.\u00a0 This is our survival mechanism–so of course the bullies try to turn it around on us, gaslight us, and project their own harassment onto us, for using the best means we have to get online justice.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and then there’s the concern trolling I saw in those tweets.\u00a0 “She blocks us for telling her the truth!”\u00a0 No, I block you for being a bunch of bullies and a$$holes who can’t accept that other people can come to different conclusions than the ones you want them to…<\/p>\n

And I block you for being creepy.\u00a0 Like, seriously creepy.\u00a0 Frickin’ stalkers who go digging for info on complete strangers.<\/p>\n

One said to me yesterday, “We know everything about you,” and used my first name for her Twitter handle.\u00a0 These trolls have done this to me before–specifically “Darcy,” three years ago.\u00a0 It only confirms that they found my Facebook back then and were the ones sending me at least some of the weird friend requests coming in back during that time.<\/p>\n

And yet–I never gave them my real name.\u00a0 I never connect it to my online handle.\u00a0 I don’t know how they got it.<\/p>\n

Why bring these things to light? Why bring their wrath on my head every time I expose them for what they are?\u00a0 Because these trolls have hurt a LOT of people over the past five years; a few of the people hurt are my friends.<\/p>\n

People who do their best to track you down and learn “everything about you” when you refuse to give them that information, are stalkers, and no one to give any sort of credibility to.<\/p>\n

That’s the kind of people these trolls are: bullies, stalkers, bunny boilers, psychopaths, abusers.\u00a0\u00a0They’ve hurt countless people over the past 5 years with their harassment campaigns and refusal to allow people to come to their own conclusions.<\/p>\n

This is what narcissists do to keep their victims under control.\u00a0 By refusing to play along, we thwart them and their schemes over their victims.\u00a0\u00a0By refusing to play along with the trolls, I become a threat to the triangulation campaign they have been running for years.\u00a0 And by keeping my own mind, I’ve watched their claims fall to pieces–same as with everyone else who’s tried to control me in the past.<\/p>\n

These trolls keep trying to bring me down because I’m a threat to them.\u00a0 By standing up to them, I take their power away.\u00a0 And that makes them angry, so they have to find ways to make me feel frightened or small.<\/p>\n

You know what?\u00a0 \u00a0So what.\u00a0\u00a0The more abusers try to shut me up, the louder I say it.\u00a0 I proved this to Richard and Tracy<\/a> eight years ago.\u00a0 The more these trolls try to scare and ridicule me, the more I speak out.<\/p>\n

Lots of people have deleted tweets and closed accounts to get these trolls off their backs.\u00a0 I just keep blogging and tweeting.\u00a0\u00a0(From my grandpa’s eulogy, it runs in the family. I also have Scottish ancestry: They’re fighters.)\u00a0\u00a0Same thing on Facebook: Most comments are supportive, but I get laughs and snarks as well on my political posts. But that just makes me post more because our democracy is at stake and I’m trying to wake people up to it.<\/p>\n
