ORIGINAL: MLskajira what should one do when they are enjoying the forums, but have someone who is following them around, harassing them on every forum they go to. this girl made some (truthful) statements about herself,('a bonding issue" in ask a Master") and now has 2 (KnightofMists and matbemaybenot) that have followed her out of "ask a Master' to "health and safety" calling her a liar and generally makeing it difficult to be on here? this girl does not wish to leave collarme, but will not stay where she is constantly attacked. just because KoM and mbmbn have not heard of or seen what this girl is talking about, does not mean that she is lying. this girl would be grateful for any assistance and advice You could impart, even if it is "go away". MLsKajira, This is a general comment to people who feel they are being attacked. It is not a validation of your belief that you are being unfairly attacked. I have not followed in detail the notestreams you refer to, but in the posts I've seen, you've done yourself more injury than anyone else on the boards has done to you. That said. I've had my share of disadmirers including one asshole who constantly accused me of child molestation. I've found the best response is no response. CollarMe has a block option. It's not the best, you can still see when someone makes a post instead of having even the headers vanish, but it does its job. Block 'em and don't open the messages even when tempted. This does two things. You don't end up making stupid statements that later come back to haunt you and it often drives the attackers into such a virtual frenzy that they overstep reason and sink themselves. To others: Block isn't a bad idea also if you find some poster or posters so incredibly stupid or aggrevating in some other way. If you're tempted to fire off an "idiot gram" every time they set fingers to keyboard, block can have a calming effect on your blood pressure and keep you from coming off as a total bad guy in the forums.
