If you can't beat them ...

.... have some fun with them.


So there I was. Duly blocking and ignoring all those who didn't know me from Adam but were keen on ridiculing me, lecturing me on what I should and should not do, how much I should donate, and being generally annoying little pests. Like an electronic fly-swatter, every time another one reared its ugly head, I'd smile, screenshoot, block and ignore. Mind you it was a challenge sometimes. I am used to having the last say so this was also a great exercise in letting go. I must say it was a big relief to smile and click 'block'. Now one of the most offending pages is like and oasis of quiet and bliss, with only the admin of that page talking to herself. 

Now did those nasties take it off the internet and into my real world? I honestly don't know. But I like to think if my previous employer got a freaky email making bold claims of what I supposedly said or did, there would have been a phone call or email already. IF they actually pulled it off like one of them claimed (as can be seen in the screen grab above), I have a fleeting suspicion any recipient would hit the delete button straightaway. I have seen the email she sent to Loose Women, which was the raving of a lunatic. Not everyone has been so lucky, though. On of my online friends got that crank call, good thing is we recorded it. And noticed straightaway that it got taken down, then uploaded again, this time a different version! 

As I blocked and blocked and blocked some more. I felt more secure not being reported for simply voicing my opinion, no threats, no lewd language, just an opinion that was different from theirs. But I felt also strangely dissatisfied. Don't get mad, get even, was one of the slogans I used to have in my agenda. Would be nice to have some fun at their expense and rattle their cage a little. And lo and behold, there they were, the team from http://lestrollops.wordpress.com/ . Look for the white witch from the south parking her broom there every now and then to pass a comment :D
