When they woke up the next morning, they probably didn't even remember any of it. I was attacked by trolls on a consumer site. (Wow. I had never been hated by strangers before.) My trolls learned the names of the people involved in my scam, and CALLED them on the phone. (1000 miles away....! ). Then they hacked my hotmail account and started threatening me with lawsuits, etc.. In short, they really made my life miserable for a few months. (I ignored them; they went away.) But no death threats. Why? Because I'm OLD and UGLY. (Praise the Lord). None of that sexual stuff with me - that's what REALLY ignites the danger. Drugs, testosterone, and internet anonymity) Poor Ms Sierra has the misfortune to be young and pretty. And the imprudence to post her own photo. It's going to happen. I think she should come back to the blogosphere.....or not...since she has kids, and then it DOES become a problem. BUT... at least the kids would get to see the real world as it really exists. They would be more intelligent, aware, and informed when they go out into that world. Just my 2 cents worth... Anyone who is visible will be fair game for trolls.

Those trolls were stoned. When they woke up the next morning, they probably didn’t even remember any of it.

I was attacked by trolls on a consumer site. (Wow. I had never been hated by strangers before.)

My trolls learned the names of the people involved in my scam, and CALLED them on the phone. (1000 miles away….! ).

Then they hacked my hotmail account and started threatening me with lawsuits, etc..

In short, they really made my life miserable for a few months.

(I ignored them; they went away.)

But no death threats.

Why?

Because I’m OLD and UGLY. (Praise the Lord).

None of that sexual stuff with me – that’s what REALLY ignites the danger. Drugs, testosterone, and internet anonymity)

Poor Ms Sierra has the misfortune to be young and pretty.

And the imprudence to post her own photo.

It’s going to happen.

I think she should come back to the blogosphere…..or not…since she has kids, and then it DOES become a problem.

BUT… at least the kids would get to see the real world as it really exists. They would be more intelligent, aware, and informed when they go out into that world.

Just my 2 cents worth…

I'd really like to see a firm timeline of things that talks about facts and not just allegations. Kathy's transition from pissed off and annoyed to fearful clearly happened over time - but it seems that Kathy contacted meankids folks and the site was taken down. She then contacted the unclebob folks and THAT site was taken down. Why did she fail to mention those back channel communications in her post or refute those claims by Chris Locke? I haven't even see anyone bother asking those questions. Her description makes it sound like the meankids site was taken down to protect the founders from legal action.
