Hi guys for about 3 months i been a member on a group in Facebook, Last friday a Admin also who runs an anxiety support network  sent the most nasty emails calling me a freak, and said she was following me around face book groups. I find this behavior unacceptable from a professional, and its left me shaken . How do i handle this, i feel i dont trust anyone anymore., I dont feel like posting anything since then... Thanks Scotty. 

 

Here is a few things what she wrote many of the Emails... I find this disturbing for someone working in a Mental Health Capacity and It's left me very un trusting of websites now, and its set me back in reaching out.  Below are the emails..

Group switched on, you unfortunately NOT.
Just sit in your little house and play online 24/7.....in a way I feel sorry for you dude.
Well I am off as I have better things to do and catch up with my friends at my favourite club.
Enjoy cruizzziiingggg all your groups. you little piece of s***
Well guess what? I am going to be your worst nightmare.
I am a smart person and a f**** hard arse who will give it you when you least expect it.  Other members despise you freak.
YOU ARE DEAD MEAT

Adios amigo

Dear Scotty,

Jump ship from the Facebook crap.    "Well guess what ?" is a common phrase used by someone with an unrealistic understanding of their own intelligence, ego, place in the world, ability to control people or threaten and a general dickhead.

Your mistake might have been that you didn't anticipate this kind of rubbish.  Also, it begs the question - is it a prank ?   Seems like someone harboured some ill thoughts for a couple of centuries.  And then ate some dog poo by mistake.

You should be bored by this stuff, not reactive. The wonders of communication vs. the troll who relentlessly chips away at your very soul.    This is really hard to do but a week OFFLINE might get your head into fresher pastures.   When you feel like internetting post here - at least this site is moderated.  And we have a new "Forum Guy" - Christopher Banks [see Community Board].

I'm kind of out of the equation - just dribbling out slowly like a good batch of burnt pav leaking out it's plastic container as it sits on my car passenger seat.   Gonna make this my last response for a while so take care and don't react.    Do some benile domestic stuff - cleaning the blinds, scouring the toilet, licking the inside of the fridge clean, digging up the drive and then re-setting it, building a pool in the garden for summer and filling with water by bucket from the village pump, discussing whether a painting of an elephant in pyjamas could win the Archibalds and throwing darts at a photo of Anderson who beat your namesake to the North Pole by about a dozen days.  Walter Scott was a hero despite his 2nd place.

You don't have to justify yourself.   You're Scotty 2013.  And how the hell does a 9 month baby learn to type and post responses ?  It's incredible.  So, get that nappy changed and off to bed with you.  You've got a day tomorrow.   That loser that wrote to you only has their anger and a serious depletion of imaginative threat phrases.  Too many Vin Diesel movies.  Too much of a loser's loser.  Delete, edit, ignore.

Adios, David.

Thanks everyone, these emails were real and came in, and I know who from, her co and flimsy FB run forum, Thanks David your right always gives me a laugh, Times like this I am to glad BB Forum is run like it is..Here at least i Know i can speak without being trolled. TC 🙂

dear Scotty, there is none of that crap allowed on this bulletin board, it wouldn't go through the filter.

I had thought that facebook were not going to let this type of rubbish to go through as it's cyber bulling, personally I hate facebook and am only on it because of a couple of people.

Who wants to know ' I had a late night, so tired, going to bed', this is just ludicrous.

Scotty my mate, delete it all these people are just crazy animals, and all they do is create intentional damage to someone's ego, especially when you are trying to handle depression.

Take care and I am sorry since it's been 3 days before we could reply to you. Geoff.

Hi Geoff thanks for your reply, Thing is Adults i expect better from, not emails containing that kind of content. It's all been washed out and taken care of now, I'm glad the right action was taken with this person, I wasn't their only Victim it turned out. I think its a case of Keyboard warrior behind it people feel they can type anything, and get away with it. I'm not overly keen on it myself, just trying to keep up with the norms. I'm glad of moderation at times, it really stops a lot of that stuff hope your doing well TC :).
