bad mouthed on (another) forum

Post Reply New Topic

so people sometimes have a go at me if i say something they don't agree with. i can live with that most of the time

today someone (behind an alias, with no clue as to who they are) had a really personal jab at me

they used my name and pretty much told me to expect my boss to have a chat with me about using the forum during work hours


while i have a bit of guilt over the forum thing, i also know the programs i use do use a lot of time to think, which is when i browse a bit online. i also know that at my recent review my manager must have been pretty happy with my work because i was given a raise



but being jabbed at so personally, in such a public way, and threatening my livelihood...

i just feel...deflated? anxious? paranoid? angry? hurt?

who the hell is this, and why do they hate me?

the same username had a jab at my friend really personally awhile go too, and i stuck up for her. tht is the only thing i could think of.

what the hell is wrong with people? do they have any idea how hard i've worked or what i've come through to get where i am? and they come along and shove their nose into things and threaten my future???


i feel so rotten that i don't even want to get out of this bed tomorrow but i have to. i'm going to be guilt ridden all week while i wait and see if anything comes of this.

i might give up the treasurer position of my local sport cub too. i'm sick of the s**t i've dealt with already and i don't know where this attack is coming from. i think it will be just me and mine that i look after for while.

fark i hate this feeling!! !!

An anonymous person did this?
Hold on a minute, how did he get all this background information of you?
Sorry... bombarding you with a few questions here... don't ever say about yourself in such detail on the internet. Sure you can say this and that but not to the extent where anyone can illegally impersonate you and do whatever they please.

no i think they know me in real life, which is disturbing. if they just knew me from the forum they wouldn't have that much info

it's a smaller online community, mostly people in the one state about one sport in particular

it's not unusual for people to have a random go at you for a point of view, but this was clearly personal and i have no idea how i have caused such an attack



i've prepared myself to deal with anything at work, i'm pretty sure i can come through this with a stern word. but it still makes me feel sick

This anonymous guy sounds miserable as it is. Maybe even jealous? Something tells me this is nothing and think of it this way. These kind of situations are easy to brush off these days.
