I know for sure if TS had an issue with me he'd say it right out in the open like

MG has posted a thread with great instructions on how to manage your PMs and to protect yourselves.
We will stick together and this vile individual will not win.

I've always been of a mind that hurt people hurt people. So compassion can be a good lense to see this through.
And obviously this person wants attention. Maybe we ignore them. It's like a toddler having a tantrum.....just walk away.

GrantMeSerenity, I'm sorry that this attack was so hateful and personal in nature. All in recovery are welcome here.

Astro's point is very important.....DO NOT RESPOND. that's what the trolly types want, and it seems this one in particular. that our mods had it all shut down in four hours or so is really amazing. what's that saying.....If you See something, Say something!!!!

OMG this is making me shake!
And cry it sounds awful.
But I'm ok. Just a bit if a shocker for me to read the reality of such vulgarity. I was hit on a PM it seemed ok but maybe I just didn't get what they meant.
Ignorance is bliss!
Go easy on the drama Ghost I only shook and cried for 10 seconds! I'm good now.
I'll pray for their health happiness and healing.
Makes me realise how fortunate I am!

Apologies to anyone who got a PM in my name.
Now I'm curious as to what "I" said...and who the troll was...but I have a pretty good idea already.
I'm not unblocking anything in my PMs. Let the idiots PM me. When this happened before I got really mad and hurt...for about 5 seconds. Then I reported the post to Dee (I'd forgotten about the post report function). Let the mods handle it.
OOOH. A nasty message from an anonymous poster on a Web forum. Shaking in my boots here. NOT.
My attitude was "Is that all ya got?"

Thanks to the moderators for jumping on this so quickly and for the community holding strong.
I don't get it... what does a person gain by attacking strangers anonymously? Don't they have a life? I don't get the motivation.
Do these trolls sometimes make up threads too pretending to be someone with a problem? I guess I'm naive.. Kudos to the moderators for spotting them and so quickly!
