just trolling along…

internet, trolls

So remember a couple of weeks ago when I told you I had a stalker? And then Raincoaster set me straight and informed me that the person who has been following me around and posting comments all over my blog – after telling me they were fed up with me and wanted nothing more to do with me – was in fact a troll and not a stalker?  Well, I thought that my post and the following comments would have been enough to let this person know in no uncertain terms that their comments were not welcome (even though I had previously emailed them to let them know this), and for awhile I thought they had taken the not-so-subtle hint.

But it turns out this person is either very thick or is so obsessed in their dislike for me that they just cannot go away and leave me alone. Because their latest trollish trick is to now start replying directly to my comments on other people’s blogs … yes, that’s right. Sometimes the comments are of a gushing and fawning nature, and other times they are direct jabs that are offensive in the extreme. But mostly they are “look at me” comments letting me know that this person is still obsessed with following me.

Make no mistake. These are not just comments made on the same blogs we both frequent. As I said before,we have many mutual blog friends. No, these are direct replies to my own comments on mutual friends’ blogs. How fucked up is that? And yes, I can mostly ignore it, especially the silly gushy stuff intended – one supposes – to make this person look good. But as for the grossly crass comments… I will ask the blog owners to please remove them.

I was recently told by this person that I was holding a grudge. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I don’t even think about this person until they show up – yet again, and again – in a very inappropriate manner. They wanted nothing more to do with me and I complied. No grudge going on there as far as I can see…

And so from me to you – please just piss off already.
You are being pathetically annoying.

 

on stalkers…

internet, stalkers, stalking

How many of you have had stalkers since becoming online “personalities”? I’ve had a few over the years, especially on h2g2,  but I thought this was mostly behind me and hoped that any weirdos who felt like stalking me these days would at least do it privately so that I wouldn’t know they were there. But there is one that keeps showing up, over and over again. This is a person who unceremoniously dumped me as a friend by email several months back, saying they were fed up with me, then said “thanks for all the fish” and that was that. Or so I thought. But no, comments galore started showing up here, which at first I just deleted hoping this someone would take the hint, but later I was forced to mark them as spam so the unwanted comments went directly there. And then the other day they left a “comment” for me on my three words.me post, describing me unkindly, then yesterday another comment in my spam… seriously, wtf?

Does this person not have a life, do they not know how to move on? Especially as – they dumped me! And told me in no uncertain terms that I was no longer considered a friend. And well, this was and is totally fine by me. So why on earth would they keep stalking me and leaving comments here? I have found myself wondering of late “what would Raincoaster do?” but hope this person decides to do the decent thing and bugger off before I have to ask Rain for advice…

How do you deal with stalkers, trolls, flamers, etc?

postaday2011, three words me

Have you ever had to describe yourself in three words? You know what a daunting challenge that can be. What about if you wanted someone else to describe you in three words? ThreeWords.me is a site that lets people do just that.

I suppose this could turn out horribly wrong or otherwise embarrassing, but so far it’s just a bit of fun. Seems everyone turns up as Anonymous, so you can leave a comment to identify yourself if you like. And link here to your own three words.me page!

posting every day in 2011!

blogging, postaday2011, writing

I’ve been posting every day now for about three years, so this new WordPress challenge shouldn’t be too difficult, but it will be great to have some support. So I’ve just signed up to The Daily Post, which is helping people who want to post either once a day or once a week during 2011.

I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way. Yes, I’m looking at you! 😉

about.me


about.me/azahar

A few months ago on Twitter I saw someone mention that they’s just reserved their URL with about.me and, curious, I went to check it out. And then I reserved two URLs – one for azahar and the other for SevillaTapas. And then I forgot all about it (much like when I first signed up for Twitter) until I started seeing that people were creating their new about.me pages. So yesterday I finally created my two custom “splash pages”, which also come with a personal analytics dashboard. Still not quite sure what to do with them, but I think they look quite cool and they tell people at a glance where to find me online.
