Default Re: Geez! I hate that!

Earlier today, I was subjected to online bullying. The person in question is a serial troll that is appearing under at least two usernames. It's one thing to disagree with someone, that's completely normal. But in this case, the person was trying to discredit me by suggesting I'm on the payroll of a brand, carefully cutting and pasting a post I made late last year to support his claim. In effect, he was questioning my integrity and attempting to make me look corrupt, and that's not ok by me.

I know people like that get off on stuff like this, but I wasn't going to lie down and let someone taint my reputation or question my character. His behavior would have landed him a black eye and broken jaw if he behaved like that in person.

This little incident makes me angry that people can behave like this and get away with it. I also do not like how someone can make quite hurtful comments online even though they don't even know the person. Stuff like "your father failed you", "feel sorry for your parents".....................how is that acceptable behavior, online or otherwise.
