Uh-HUH
So, remember last month when a random anonymous commenter started a sending me weird, aggressive messages out of nowhere - beginning with the accusation that I was a castrating whore, and progressing from there?
Well, this morning I woke up to find the following tumblr notification in my inbox:

WOW.
Now, in case you were wondering: the reason I’m screencapping this ask rather than responding to it directly isn’t because, as the dude above fears, I’ve blocked him. No: it’s due to the fact that, when I clicked the link in my email to respond to him on tumblr? Not only wasn’t the ask in my box, but the guy’s ENTIRE BLOG had been removed. My guess is, he sent the ask, regretted it almost instantly, and realised he couldn’t take it back unless he deleted his account, because apparently I’m just that terrifying. If not for the fact that I also receive email notifications whenever someone sends me an ask, he might even have gotten away with it, too.
But he didn’t.
I have no idea who a-clockwork-orange2013 is beyond the fact that, by his own admission, he’s the guy whose opening gambit was to call me a whore, and who then proceeded to attack me for something I never actually said, but which he thought I might possibly believe because of something I reblogged last year. (Anyone who wants to check out the whole thing can find it in my archive for June.)
And now there’s this, wherein he accuses me of destroying his soul.
And I just. OK.
If you start a hurling abuse at a stranger - and especially if you do so in a space that’s theirs, like a personal blog - you don’t then get to complain about how their reaction to your abuse has upset you. Sending harassing ask messages and expecting no negative consequences is like repeatedly setting fire to someone’s mailbox and then getting pissed when they call the cops.
Also? The fact that men as a group are powerful doesn’t mean some men aren’t also powerless; that’s not a contradiction, and clearly this guy is confused as hell, for whatever that’s worth. And if I’d purposefully sought him out in order to make him feel like shit, then maybe he’d have a case. But that’s not what happened: he came here, onto my blog, attacked and harassed and exhausted me for an entire fucking day for no readily apparent reason, and then has the nerve to call himself a “poor defenceless male” and complain about how I destroyed him, as though he was some hapless puppy I decided to kick for my own amusement rather than an abusive stranger who got pissed when I defended myself.
So, yeah. This guy, in all his various permutations, can just fuck right off. I’m under no obligations to make him feel validating for harassing me, and if he contacts me again in any way, shape or form, then I am NOT going to be polite about it.

File it under “People with not enough to do.” He’s either unwell (which is certainly not your fault nor your concern) or he’s a troll, getting his jollies this way. humphreysart liked this
