Oh Liz Sabo what a true gem you are! She’s having a “day of service” so my contribution is pointing out a lovely post she wasn’t quick enough to delete.
This ugly woman wants to run for Great Valley School board yet by this post she is doxxing someone’s underage child?
A woman who targets another woman’s child is not anyone you want elected to anything.
FYI her husband George Sabo is running for supervisor in East Whiteland so sadly I think these folks need to stay in their own basement where they are more comfortable.
I don’t think that the East Whiteland GOP or the Chester County GOP will do anything about this, but if you live in Great Valley and this woman shows up on your ballot in November, you all out there DO have a choice to do something. You have a choice to say no to a woman who targets another woman’s child for harassment at a minimum.
And then she doubles down on the post she removed by lying in a comment? Doxxing a minor child of her opponent and compounding it with lies? You see I happen to know Liz Stabbo’s opponent, and I have for years so I asked her if anything was on her LinkedIn like this because I looked and couldn’t find anything and she said no .
Great Valley’s incredibly double talking and hiding school superintendent Dan Goffredo should say something about this, but considering how he never really protected his staff from the middle school TikTok of it all, I am not holding my breath.
If people wonder why some people‘s children aren’t very nice, this is where you look no further.
However, I truly feel very sorry for Liz Sabo’s daughters. Even if they support their mom, at what cost are they supporting a completely phobic adult spreading hate and vitriol within our community? And can it be said that perhaps her phobias are based on issues with her own sexuality and sexual identity?
Stay in your basement, Liz, where you belong. Targeting an underage kid as a school board campaign tactic is unacceptable. No matter how we feel as adults about politics on any level, you leave people’s children alone, especially the underage variety.
Ahh yes you aren’t supposed to feed trolls on the Internet by reacting. But hey now, it’s your reputation so you can keep an eye out and react as needed. Part of the reason is these people are the types who lurk in the shadows. They want to live in your head rent free, because whomever you are, you live rent free in theirs. They hate being pulled out of the shadows.
Every now and again, I have one. I have had them in the past. Eventually they all reveal themselves. I can say that because the last one, who was spurned on by someone else’s gaslighting, ended up exposing themselves to law enforcement and was it actionable? Yes it was and they have a second chance to get on with life but there are certain things they agreed to in front of a judge to do so (which was my idea incidentally as a kindness they didn’t deserve.) Part of their agreement is no contact with me in any form, and the same goes for friends, relatives, internet acquaintances. I never knew this person to begin with, don’t care to now.
But that person? Shall we say inspired to act by the gaslighting of someone else? Yup, and it tracks. So careful what you read on the internet, eh?
You are only as good as your word in this life, and I act with that in mind. And the actual truth.
So the truth is, some don’t like me. That includes people who know me, but basically that’s life as we know it. I can’t be responsible for them, only myself.
A lot of the “haters” or trolls, feel they can just do whatever without impunity. Meh, that may or may not be true.
Now the latest one who is oddly obsessed with me is a woman. She’s a lurker on my blog and blog’s Facebook page. She has a warped view or perception on what reality is, and reading comprehension? Not so good as she seems to miss a lot.
She started a thread about how super horrible terrible I am. She’s not the first, she’s not the last. She thinks taking it out on me other than on Facebook protects her. It doesn’t. See she lurks on my blog’s Facebook page because if she posted on my page, I would just remove her. She knows that is what I do with trolls. And she knows I screenshot to expose bullying and trolling sometimes. Not all of the time, but I do actually do it because bullies don’t like attention upon them, no matter what their often feigned bravado is.
She first exposed herself when I made a public comment about who she might be. I knew she wasn’t that person because it is someone she comments on per her own comments among other things. And yes, I did block that person because they were freaks during COVID and just found a new personal and blocked that too. I ended up ridding myself of lots of people on both sides of the argument then and now.
You can block people on social media. You can remove them from your groups and pages. There is no law on earth that says you have to wear a social media hair shirt and take abuse. Or even mansplaining.
So yeah, I clean up my internet homes on occasion, so what? I choose not take abuse. As a woman, my latest “admirer” should understand that. But she doesn’t and she’s rather self righteous.
She exposed herself again in addition to the anti vaxxer type she hates. This time as a Chester County Democrat etc. and has done that twice so far. She’s all bothered that I don’t like Fauxmer Jawn. She’s also concerned about someone who posts on County Commissioner Josh Maxwell’s page and comments how she can’t believe that person doesn’t have a restraining order against them yet. I guess she doesn’t know in PA that only works with family members or former intimate partners? I am sure the comments are watched by law enforcement…just like honestly there is a lot of law enforcement who watch my socials.
Apparently this woman says her last straw is I posted about the man who killed his wife and injured his son in a one vehicle DUI related crash on Ship Road a couple of weeks ago now. Claims I callously posted photos of child. I did post a screen shot from the You Tube of the funeral that was posted with the Go Fund Me I shared for the now motherless child’s benefit because someone else commenting on my page kept saying two fatalities with the accident which was not true as per what police released. Then she defends her post saying I will probably take my post down because of her thread, but she has screenshots. i haven’t removed squat, and won’t. I did nothing wrong, except in her opinion which isn’t law.
Does she hear herself? I am not a public figure, I do not play one on Instagram or Facebook. Yes I blog, and blog’s are opinion based a lot of the time. So duh, Mrs. Drool Cup, lurk someplace else if I am so terrible. But she doesn’t because she suffers from social media FOMO (fear of missing out.)
Of course with her post comes the predictable clown circus of comments, plus quite a lot of comments this time asking her what her problem is.
Her problem is simple: I am not her, I probably don’t think, look, act, etc. like her. To the narrow minded social media puritans that is worse than being a Trump lover. And apparently they all categorize me as a cat mommy and gerbil owner. The mental gymnastics it took to come up with that must be something, right?
These people are utterly self righteous. Their narrow view of the world is the only one they are comfortable with. One of the commenters there is a probation officer somewhere. He gave himself away too. Others on that thread have as well, and they also lack reading comprehension based on what they have written.
So it is what it is. Do I keep screenshots of this stuff? Yes, not always, but yes I do and do I expose people bullying me online? Yes I do and yes I have.
These people feed on one and other and it is malicious gossip and mob mentality. They don’t have to like me, that’s just silly that anyone would expect that. I still think my biggest crime with a lot of these people is I choose not to know most of them. I mean why would I? When I first started on Facebook one of the first things I ever did was give myself peace by proactively blocking people I did not care for and those I knew who did not like me. My rationale was simple: I chose not to interact with them in the real world, so why do I need to know them in a virtual world?
So yes, dear readers, another troll. This one is a lurker because she is all keyboard warrior except to address me on my own page. Whatever. Take a ticket and stand in line. I don’t ever say why can’t we all get along, because quite simply put, I have never believed that.
Oh hello dear readers! How are you today on this now cloudy slightly dampish Saturday?
Did you know that I live life in the fast lane?
It’s kind of a no, not really response, but I am once again, fascinated by people whom I choose to have nothing to do with being so fascinated with me.
First up this week was an important local meeting where I shared meeting information for residents who wanted to know the details of the meeting. So I provided the location, and the fact that they could access it on Zoom.
After I posted the comments started. Today when you give people the information they’re seeking and they say they couldn’t possibly make time for what they say is important to them. It’s their community, they expect change, yet they don’t want to participate where they live.
I literally said to one person that they could Zoom it, and I continued that you don’t have to have your camera on or your audio on. You can simply have the meeting on and the volume turned up so when it gets to the part that is of interest, you can come watch it. I literally do that a lot because no, we always don’t have time to go to meetings in person or sit and listen to an entire Zoom meeting. This person subsequently replied along the lines of wow what a privileged statement and how is that a privileged statement?
How is giving someone the meeting information they wanted and giving them their options a privileged statement? Or was it the fact that I said OK I was just providing the information, and said people make time for what’s important to them?
People in communities everywhere often demand to know what’s going on in their communities because heaven forbid they look at their municipal website. But when you give them the information they seek, they couldn’t possibly, they’re too busy, they have kids.
Again, my response is pretty simple. That’s their choice but people make time for what’s important to them.
Is this something I’m supposed to do for them? Or the ones who hold up the yellow flag for kids. Do they think they are the only people who have ever had children or worked while having children or had children and did other things?
Again, people make time for what’s important to them. And the ones who want everyone else to do everything for them, don’t like it when you point that out.
Next up was an unsolicited private message from a local politician, who also happens to be a lawyer.
Let’s begin it doesn’t take a genius to read an agenda. It’s pretty straightforward. These municipal agendas tell you what’s going on in a meeting and when they include a packet with documents that further explain what’s going on in a meeting it’s not so hard to interpret is it? I love it when you get the feels like but of course it’s not an intimidation message when you point out what’s happening at an upcoming meeting…. especially when said municipality has documents to back up exactly what is happening and they are all over their website if you know where to look so how does that work, please?
Then you have the social media circus that you have to wonder is this just being propped up by a particular gaslighting guru?
There’s also one person whom I don’t really talk about except once in a while to ask with genuine curiosity about the obsession with me and other local individuals.
When you encounter someone online, who seems dangerously obsessive, are you supposed to never ask questions about that?
I also can’t figure people out who who participate in the barrage of verbal diarrhea on social media who are mostly people that have been taken off of my blog’s Facebook page or something like that … all people I just simply choose not to be around even virtually on social media.
I really don’t get it.
And then there’s this whole thing about the fact that I am showing up on political platforms like I’m a candidate to defeat except I’m not running for office.
These extraordinarily damaged people literally sit on social media platforms and bash me and others like we are a Bravolebrity. Andy Cohen, where’s our bonus?
I did learn a new term today. Someone said I had TDS. I had no idea what that was so I looked it. it’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s kind of not my guy and I don’t actually talk about him a lot so doesn’t that actually apply to them because they love him so much?
And then there are the psycho assholes with casseroles types who say I’m an operative for the Democratic Party. What’s even funnier are the Democrats who say I am an operative for the Republicans.
These people? This is what they do all day, every day. And then they also send me private messages if I don’t respond to them on a particular social media platform.
These people have zero boundaries. I am not at their beck and call.
And at the end of the day I am still bemused by the fact that I’m still just one person so why are they so obsessed? And then you have these other people who totally rile these others up because they like to see me gaslit and disparaged. And they also actually like to see me threatened. And yes, law enforcement does keep an eye on this stuff in general, as in not for me, but because that is what they do.
I don’t actually know these people who have decided I am evil. I simply don’t want to interact with them. I’m just out here living my life yet they want to tell me and everyone else how we are supposed to live our lives. They want to tell us how we’re supposed to think and what we’re supposed to do. And if we don’t wish to interact with them? That’s simply not acceptable.
And then when they’re not getting enough attention, they will throw something out there like I’m talking about their families. If I am speaking about their families, it’s only in the context of a question as to who are they anyway?
People don’t have to like me and I don’t have to like them. But that doesn’t mean that they get to just sit and try to destroy everyone’s lives, including mine by claiming that’s what I’m doing. I believe the appropriate term is projection?
Flying Monkeys have been out of fashion since the Wizard of Oz (movie 1939, book 1900.) In both, the monkeys symbolized a dark side of the human ego, or evil that people are capable of.
Interestingly enough, “Flying monkeys” is a common descriptive term used to describe people who carry out the abusive or manipulative wishes of a narcissist.
Yes, for real. After doing a little bit of research, I know I’m not the only one who has looked into this. And those who have looked into it include clinical psychologist, like the one with the YouTube above.
Some view social media as a giant popularity contest. And if they can’t be the top of the pile, they want to basically take out anyone else that’s in their way. Remember however, a good narcissist never wants to get their own hands dirty. They want to provoke people to act. They sit back and watch others do their bidding. They are self-absorbed cowards.
Flying monkeys are another spin on the mean girls middle school lunch table, and generally speaking it’s a narcissistic person. They vibrate when they are afraid their carefully (or not carefully) crafted cover is cracking, or has cracked. It’s a form of an act of desperation cloaked as other things.
Essentially the people sending the flying monkeys are insecure and afraid. They want people to think they are wonderful, they need that. If you threaten that, you are the enemy. Especially if you think they are behaving in a silly or laughable manner.
Don’t laugh, you can’t laugh, you must adore? Yeah mmmkay.
Yes a narcissist can actually be insecure. They are apparently known as “vulnerable narcissists,” and people with narcissistic tendencies can indeed be deeply insecure, often using extreme and grandiose behaviors as a way to compensate for a need for constant validation from others.
There are also “grandiose narcissists.” They can appear to have a genuinely over-inflated sense of self.
Interestingly, narcissists can have a fear of abandonment too. I didn’t know that until I began researching the topic out of curiosity. I learned narcissistic types may try to make others feel insecure to temporarily strengthen their own sense of self-worth. Which makes social media and all the unreality in it their most perfect playground.
A malignant narcissist is defined as someone with an extreme sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, and a disregard for others. They are also manipulative, aggressive, and abusive.
Again, social media is the perfect breeding and grooming ground. The majority of people don’t see these people in real time, only whatever they are posting on social media. It’s all look at them, look at their possessions, every aspect of their lives. It all appears so perfect, but it’s a façade to some extent, isn’t it?
Social media is a giant Petrie dish of pack mentality, so when a narcissistic person feels threatened, they literally call on the flying monkey squad. They don’t want to get their own hands dirty, but to a narcissistic individual your hands are their hands. They will coach people in what to say on their behalf, only they manipulate you into thinking it’s your idea. They are not above complete fibbing about their targets, and there are enough damaged or vulnerable people to believe it hook, line, and sinker especially on social media where few do actual research. Narcissists reel these folks in by appearing to be a little bit of what these people seek consciously and subconsciously.
Truly it’s fascinating, even when it’s directed at you. When flying monkeys are sent after another person it’s deliberately done to hurt a target of a narcissist’s ire or insecurity (or both.)
I have experienced this. Most recently a flying monkey who came in the form of a woman who had to call me out first on social media and what people should think or do about me who has zero to do with their life. This person is a complete stranger, so this behavior? Already quite odd.
Next this person started sending me private messages while trying to join a group they were previously removed from. The messages were obviously coached and rather fantastical given some of the odd word salad language. You could hear more than one voice. Oh and this person included middle school tactical maneuvers like she spoke to people about me, that they all really loved her and I was keeping them from her and how many people hate me.
It was fascinating.
And their beliefs and arguments about me a total stranger? Utterly fabricated and fantastical. Essentially gaslighting and attempted guilt tripping. a diversion from their own messy lives, perhaps?
I would say why can’t we all get along. But then there are these people who are threatened by anyone different from themselves or who recognize them for who they are , and voilà, here we are.
Is this all about me? No, but the impetus has been personal experience. Does that make me a narcissist? No. Sociologically and psychologically it is actually fascinating. I am sure that irritates narcissists and their flying monkey squads, because that is not the desired effect.
So the moral of this story is don’t let people steal your joy. And why do people want to steal the joy of others? Maybe we are not supposed to care about their motivation? Maybe it’s that simplistic and we are merely supposed to recognize this for what it is and go about our lives?
You can’t please everyone all of the time, and you have to ask yourself if we are supposed to? I don’t think so. And with people whom you don’t know and don’t really care to know on social media, you have to laugh. If it seems like fantastical and illogical projection, it probably is. It all goes back to the simple theory of consider the source.
Hester Prynne. I bet most don’t know what I am referring to. Some will recognize the reference to The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. And before I get into the crux of this post, allow me to reflect on why many wouldn’t understand the Nathaniel Hawthorne reference. The Scarlet Letter as a novel is about shaming and social stigmatizing of Hester Prynne. But do students even read this book any longer? Are they allowed to?
I wear my scarlet letter as B for blogger or D for Different.
The Scarlet Letter is about 17th century New England. Today one could say the similar behaviors portrayed in this novel (written in the 19th century about life in the 17th century) is sort of life imitates art and art imitates life…and today it plays out nearly every day on social media somewhere. The masses used to whisper behind their hands to their pals in the market square, now they just vomit their word salad thoughts all over social media.
This novel by Nathanial Hawthorne also can be distilled down to a society punishing a woman for refusing to conform to what they determined the acceptable standards to be. Judgement of women. Nothing new there. It takes different forms as time progresses, but it comes back to Different = Bad and one of the Sheeple = Good.
So yesterday a certain wannabe influencer self proclaimed public figure had a rather predictable social media met down. It happened as always on his famous group page which is uplifting and delightful…or so he says, right? I mean gosh that must be totally by accident that he in fact is allowing doxxing of me, right?
File under desperate men do desperate things, don’t they? Including hit up an @everyone when probably not enough people were reading his post?
Let’s break this down shall we?
I’m NOT in his group. I was in it when was it exactly? Two or three years ago? I initially didn’t even KNOW it was HIS group because I was one of the people that he let into the group but blocked. You see if you block people in your group but allow them to be there it pumps up the numbers. And why did he block me in the first place? No one knows. I actually didn’t go into his group very much when I WAS in it because I found it insipid and silly. I could never remember the name of the group – ask my friends – yes OMG I have real friends, he must be jelly right?
Already he was self branding as a public figure and wannabe influencer when he started his preposterous, fake events to meet him and “mingle” (why would you?) I laughed and posted about it- I think most of this influencer stuff is completely fakakta. And why would anyone want to pay to meet him and have cheap bar aps? Seriously?
In October 2023, I believe it was that he called Easttown Township Police on me. I had a conversation with a detective who called to say that oh yes, they had closed an investigation on me that I didn’t know existed in the first place and they found nothing . And why did they find nothing? Because this man puts his life out on public display. He talks about his kids/wife he posts pictures of his kids/wife. He post pictures of his houses everywhere. His cars. His dog. His multiple martini glasses. And what his group is about? Hasn’t it changed like the wind but mostly it’s always been for him to promote his influencerness or whatever?
He called the police after I made fun of his mingle with bad bar food events. It’s not against the law to post about or make fun of public figures/influencers/wannabe influencers is it? It was an event posted publicly and anyone could buy tickets, right?
I DON’T talk about his wife and I certainly don’t talk about people’s children and he’s just not being truthful, he is in fact coloring wayyy outside of those lines, and isn’t that the real deal? And his kids have not been picked on because of me, if that has happened at all. He talks about his kids. Kids are also not responsible for their parents’ antics.
So let’s refresh because he’s a little slow – obviously I’m not in his group and in like 30 minutes after he posted I had about 50 people send me the screenshots, continuing into today. I also have the screenshots of the comments, and I will get to that.
This guy puts it ALL on PUBLIC display even in his group. Every day. 24/7/365 and it makes a person wonder how he has time for his “busy practice” doesn’t it? And then there are the “Face of the Main Line” ads, right? And they are purchased, correct?
I have never said anything about his education, or his wife’s education.
His wife from what I can tell is a well respected doctor, who would have an issue with that? This here is probably the most I’ve EVER said about his wife just because he basically expresses falsehoods about me speaking about her in a pejorative manner and I have not. I wouldn’t. She’s a real doctor doing real things. As opposed as to seeking sympathy post meltdown on social media, right? I will offer the opinion (which is allowed) that if she was on my care team, I would replace her because of his antics.
And his dog? I have been mean to his dog now as well? Does he need a reminder about what he posted about his dog and a vet he used?
I DID ask if he was a licensed psychologist and why is that a bad thing? Don’t you want someone you are seeing for therapy, counseling, whatever to be licensed? By the way note in the screenshots below that he is not licensed at all at this point (checked database this morning) unless he recently applied for one? Does he want to explain that fine or is that my fault too?
And if he is supposed to be a psychotherapist or therapist of any kind, or a counselor, etc. is he exhibiting NORMAL behavior? Or is he twisting things with purpose in the hopes someone harms me?
And because he is essentially nouveau Main Line or tries to be, he wouldn’t know that I am known, and I am hardly hiding. I merely choose with whom I wish to interact.
And I must now ask because I’m genuinely curious, what precisely IS his work in the community for 24 years? Has he actually been on the Main Line for 24 years? Or is that like dog years or something? Did anyone know he existed before he put himself AND his family out on public display a handful of years ago?
I can’t control what he does or whatever freaky types contact him about me. Every pot has it’s lid even on social media, right?
I like that he thinks he has hidden cameras INSIDE my house so he knows what I am doing 24 hours a day, and if so, isn’t that example of what a stalker is, gosh what is? Does he like that post breast cancer I have 1 1/2 breasts, not two?
I should mention that I don’t actually know where he lives in Berwyn – and he posted his Delaware house for sale listing at one point in some public beach centric Facebook group, so umm?? And a reminder: he posts photos of his house or houses himself, so that dog don’t hunt either.
I like that he seems to think that I am still in his group and doesn’t get as I previously stated that I don’t see any of his stuff on social media first person – people send me screenshots. All these fabulous people whom he thinks ADORE him, but do they? Is that the real problem he has? That people pass screenshots around?
Seems to me that someone has his knickers in a twist over his own recent antics? Dude, YOU put this stuff out there – it ALL originates with you. And everything YOU accuse ME of doing you are attempting to do to me? Come on man child, for real ?
I think it’s a wee bit dramatic to say that I “hate” a public figure and wannabe influencer, isn’t it? That would imply a relationship that doesn’t exist.
Is this just trying to raise his image at my expense? Whatever. I guess I just don’t have the same needs as him , do I?
Poor wee man.
Also important to note that photo he used of me without attribution in his meltdown this weekend was from SAVVY Main Line. Yeah babe, that’s me…hiding. I should comment about why that photo was taken. Context is important – It was the 10 year anniversary of being breast cancer free, one year left on Tamoxifen, and I took friends on a special garden tour to celebrate. Caroline who owns and founded and created Savvy was with us that day and was at Lankenau Hospital the day I rang the bell after finishing treatment for breast cancer in 2011.
Here’s a synopsis of that time, those early days of diagnosis, surgery, treatment.
It all began during a routine checkup in March of 2011. I told my gynecologist, that I had found a lump. You should understand that, for me, lumps are not very unusual as I have a familial trait many women have of dense breasts. As she felt my left breast, a look came over her face. “I’m sending you to a breast surgeon. If I miss something I would never forgive myself,” she said.
I think in my heart of hearts I already knew what the result would be, and during the late afternoon of April 28 – just as my high school reunion from Shipley that year was about to begin – I received news no woman wants to hear: “You have breast cancer.” Invasive, lobular breast cancer to be precise. The room swirled for a moment. It was a total out-of-body, this-can’t-be-happening moment.
I spent a few of those early days in front of a mirror, trying to come to terms with how I looked at that moment, and how I might look after (depending on the size of the mass and the margins that needed to come out around it.) I also made my peace with the possibility of losing the entire breast. That was a really hard and weird place to go, but I had to do it. I stood in front of the mirror and covered up one breast. That was when it really hit me: breast cancer hits the core of femininity in every woman it touches.
I had a lumpectomy – also known as a partial mastectomy . Radiation, although easier then chemotherapy, was rough. Not only are you incredibly tired all the time, but you also have to live with perpetual sunburn that really, really hurts. Because my skin is sensitive, I had what can only be described as radiation rash and patches of degraded skin. Sharp, shooting pains running through the surgical site periodically as internal stiches continue to work their way out. Some days I was so tired that all wanted to do is sleep, but I couldn’t. Still, every day of radiation brought me one step closer to the end of that phase of my treatment. This taught me a lot about myself. I learned that I’m much tougher than I thought and that I’ve been blessed. Not only do I have a supportive family, but I also have the most amazing friends in the world.
September 13, 2011 was a sunny Tuesday morning, and I finished my radiation. I was overcome with emotion all morning but did my actual crying in the treatment room when it was over – bittersweet tears of happiness, relief and gratitude that no one saw. I knew I’d never forget the awesome team of technicians and nurses at Lankenau.
A slew of people gathered in the waiting room that day, including the author of Savvy Main Line. When it was all over and I rang the special bell signifying the end of treatment, they cheered. A hospital administrator actually chided us then for being too loud.
I’m now part of the sisterhood – women of different races, ethnicities, ages, sizes and shapes -forever bound together by this disease. So that was why that special garden visit recorded in Savvy where he took their photo from was about. It marked an important milestone in my breast cancer journey.
Now let’s delve into the comments. We’ll start slow with someone about to open a business localish to us. He also sent me an unsolicited message and OMG LOL he blocked me from responding… yet goes and adds his two unsolicited cents as a brand new business about to open over there in the comments from the Main Line Meltdown post? I mean what did I expect from a kibitzer? Guess he just plays both sides against the middle?
The sad thing is I was looking forward to another real deli closer than Philadelphia or the lower Main Line.
#GoBrandon !
Then there is a woman who is her own weirdness. This particular woman has allowed for the past few years in her group (which I never had any desire to join), for people to occasionally have entire threads up about me slamming and essentially disparaging me like I am a public figure or a politician or a celebrity instead of what I am, which is a middle-aged woman living in a community. Yes, there have been screenshots over the years.
This person reappeared a few weeks ago when there was a dust up in my gifting group because I had restated some basic rules like no mattresses, alcohol, prescription meds, etc. Real terrible stuff reminding people about items that may have attached liability issues, right? This woman essentially told an untruth in another thread first by saying I had spies on that woman’s page – it was a public post at least for a while- duh it had a little globe. I ironically stumbled upon the post myself because the woman who started this post kept getting suggested by Facebook as a friend so I finally went to look at her profile out of curiosity and saw this nutso post. Completely by fate I discovered it.
So back to this other woman who decided to tell an outright untruth by saying she was getting private messages from me insinuating many or several. There was ONE private message. This particular woman has had over the years demonstrated oddly competitive and nasty behavior towards me and others on social media I have never understood. ONCE as in the one and only time I saw her in person (I said hello) and she was quiet like an introverted mouse. And if she had EVER called the police on me, the police would’ve called me. It’s how it works.
Should I have sent the message? Perhaps not. But I have had a few years of crap at the hands of this person on social media and there comes a time in your life where you feel the need to take your power back even if it is by merely telling her the post I saw was public and I see her for who she is and always have. It started with her when I started a group and she wanted to join. After she was in the group, she literally tried to take it over. She was removed. So she went to start a competing group, only she was the one competing, not me.
And this woman claims she has no photos of her kids online? Yes she has had them and I have never shared them. If they appeared on a screenshot because she made something public, I have no recollection. Her kids are her kids, no interest to me but it makes a better yarn for her to say so I guess? I finally blocked her after the gifting group thing.
So she pops up here on the Influencer’s Lament, trying to seek relevance again I suppose? Spinning quite literally a yarn. Says she never met me in person. Again, as mentioned, she did once, and she was like a little mouse. Very different from her online persona.
Screenshot
And then there are other people. Mostly ones I blocked because I chose not to interact, and others I removed from various Facebook groups. It’s like they congregate in this group so they can slurp on my social media corpse. Monty Python would tell them I am not dead yet.
None of them know me. I certainly don’t wish to know them.
I am not in the group, and I am sent the screenshots. People are sharing screenshots all over, it’s what people do on social media. So when His Public Figureness refers to “hundreds” of screenshots of him taken by me? Umm duuuuddde, I am not in your group and I blocked you long ago. Yes there are screenshots, sent by other people, and certainly not hundreds. That is actually funny he must think he’s Beyoncé or something. And remember, (and I quote from a Main Line Today ad) he asks constructive questions, providing non-judgmental feedback and insight.
Now, the comments. They hold their own sociological fascination and it’s that gossip pack mentality in action. Am I supposed to be crushed by them? I’m not. I merely marvel. Why do so many people care about me one person? It doesn’t compute. And really it shouldn’t as it is somewhat nonsensical.
Have I lived the perfect life? No. But I like to think I am honest about who I am and I do actually try to be nice to people. Are there some people it is virtually impossible to be nice to? Yes indeed. And if you know me, you know I don’t suffer fools gladly. I try to avoid those people.
Truthfully, those who are mean and spiteful gossips “spreading the love” fall into the category of those people you choose not to have in your life after a point or at all in the first place. Psychologically I can only wonder what they are punishing the world for, but the truth of the matter is none of us are getting any younger. And you also have to accept people are different from you and as human beings we are not designed to be carbon copies of one and other. We are truly allowed to have different opinions and to be different people.
Ahh yes, the old adage you are judged by the company you keep. I remember my own mother telling me that when I was a teenager, and I remember scoffing at the idea. Then I remember being in my mid 20s and figuring out exactly what she was talking about and it was one of those a-ha moments that sometimes your mother is right. A friend of mine and I were talking about it recently and they said their mother said to them “show me your friends, I’ll show you your future.”
“People will question all the good things they hear about you but believe all the bad without a second thought.”
I have learned again among other things that apparently I wish to control local social media. I am amused at the sheer preposterousness of the statement.
Sadly, there is in human nature the desire to gossip or chatter about others. Anyone who says they haven’t done it isn’t being honest with themselves. I have written about it before because it is an interesting study in basic human nature or human flaws, take you pick.
It’s Friday so time for yet another jihad on your faithful blogger here.
Gosh, the Twatwaffles for Trump defense is out! (Guess they didn’t like the last post mocking them?) But please remember they are perfect ladies sipping tea and spreading it, so we’ll get to other thoughts in a minute. Suffice it to say it is genuinely a marvel to live in their heads so constantly. I mean WHY? Are their lives so little that they can dish it out @everyone @everyday and seem surprised when anyone questions their ridiculousness? Long live the legends in their own minds middle school lunch table, I suppose.
The whole post: @everyone Meet the “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming. While I was taken aback by the lack of authenticity, unlady-like language, and obvious cultural appropriation and disrespect in the use of the word “Twatwaffle”…it comes as no surprise that the most “popular”, and by popular I mean at least 3 “likes” on her posts, our favorite rambler in ChesCo it at it once again. Per usual, she is publicly espousing her unwavering hate against other women like a school girl’s diary. Imagine being that woman standing in a beautiful garden filled with diverse plants and flowers. Instead of appreciating the beauty and variety, she focuses on a few plants she dislikes, proclaiming that those should be removed for the sake of the garden. Her actions might initially seem to come from a place of personal preference, but in reality, they harm the entire ecosystem. The removal of certain plants can disrupt the balance, ultimately affecting the growth and survival of other species in the garden. Not realizing her hate, negative energy, and intolerance damages the entire community’s overall harmony and vitality. Just as a garden thrives on its diversity, so too does a society flourish when it embraces and celebrates its differences. This is EXACTLY what is wrong with the keyboard warriors who lead the cancel culture hate filled movement. The hypocrisy of the Queen of “Hate Has No Home Here” and “Be Kind” mantras outshines her obvious lack of substance in the latest attack against Moms for Liberty members, namely Yours Truly, and anyone who supports the Republican party. Yes, we know, it is election season so we have come to expect that the vitriol from the “hate has no home here” crowd will be at its peak against those with opposing views. I was delighted to be referred to as a “Blondie” and “Barbie” as we Barbie types appreciate natural beauty, including our luscious, golden locks, and we also appreciate that Barbie can do anything she sets her mind to. Most of my Barbie friends, especially the Blondies, just happen to be intelligent, successful, beautiful, self-confident, happy, loving, and caring promoters of LIBERTY! LIBERTY in simple terms is FREEDOM AND MORALITY. Us Blondie Barbies who promote LIBERTY seekbeing free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views. LIBERTY encompasses Personal, Political, and Social FREEDOM. The right to make choices about one’s own life, including beliefs, lifestyle, and expression, without undue interference. The ability to participate in the political process, including voting, running for office, and expressing political opinions. The ability to interact and associate with others, as well as to form relationships and communities without discrimination or coercion. Those who oppose LIBERTY and LIBERTY promoters are fundamentally against the core principles of this great Nation. Those who hate LIBERTY promoters are simply against FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. Those who hate LIBERTY promoters are constantly pushing socialist and communist ideas and lack the ability to be happy, productive members of a society that respects individuality and FREEDOM. Some People Are Just Destined To Be AWESOME…no apologies will be forthcoming. So WHO Are The “Twatwaffles For Trump”? We are moms, active community members, teachers, coaches, business women, advocates for children but obviously we were the despised popular, pretty girls in school. Everyone knew us terrible Blondie Barbie types in high school. Prior to my brain fully developing and becoming a full-fledged adult I was crowned Miss Pre-Teen Pennsylvania, 1993 Homecoming Queen, Voted “Prettiest”, “Most Athletic” and “Most Versatile”, carried a 5.2 GPA, was the #1 high school track recruit in the Nation and earned a FULL scholarship…not by watching mindless TV shows like the Stepford Wives, honestly I have no idea what the reference even means, or pumping myself up with Ozempic to look good…it meant a daily high school schedule – up at 5:30am to train, 7:30am-2:15pm school, 2:30-4:30pm practice, 5-9pm work at pizza shop, 10pm-midnight study, and studying most of the weekends. As a fully formed adult, this “Twatwaffle For Trump” happens to own a HOT PINK racing bike, aptly named “The Barbie Dream Machine” and I sure did crank that baby to 4 TOP 10 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINISHES…oh but the fun does NOT stop there! As fully formed adults, stacks of “Twatwaffles For Trump” STOOD UP FOR OUR CHILDREN AGAINST GOVERNMENT TYRANNY! At our core, we “Twatwaffles For Trump” focus on creating strong foundations for our children and families by providing unconditional love and support. “Twatwaffles For Trump” are resilient, fierce advocates for our children and community-focused leaders. We are JOYFUL WARRIORS and powerful role models for our children and communities. While we are continuously name-called, many childish things such as “Twatwaffles For Trump” and “Stepford Wives”, stood up to absurdity of face diapers while ensuring our children weren’t harmed by asinine politicians attempting to impose reckless mandates onto the People, especially our children. While some still believe wearing a face diaper while sucking in 32,000 PPM of carbon dioxide and hiding from people and air inside their homes makes them healthy…what can I say…just another example of “Democratic” ideas that is Darwinism on FULL DISPLAY! Queen “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming. If I could be invited to a hair braiding sleepover party with “Twatwaffles For Trump” it would definitely be amazing if Melania and Lara Trump were the hosts. We could share stories and braid each other’s hair, maybe they bring their stylist to do it but who cares those ladies are STUNNING and hair is always ON point! Nice hair is an absolute requirement for any “Twatwaffle For Trump” and extra bonus points if you are a BLONDIE! It’s been a pretty well-established fact that blondes do have more fun! Life Tips for HATERS of “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming.

I have all of the screenshots because as always their groups are one leaky boat after the other. Sharing the unaltered verbiage makes it easier.
First of all (again), whom exactly is it who needs writing lessons?
While I was taken aback by the lack of authenticity, unlady-like language, and obvious cultural appropriation and disrespect in the use of the word “Twatwaffle”…it comes as no surprise that the most “popular”, and by popular I mean at least 3 “likes” on her posts, our favorite rambler in ChesCo it at it once again. Per usual, she is publicly espousing her unwavering hate against other women like a school girl’s diary.
I am shocked she is taken aback. After all this author is one of the wunderkind (not really it just amused me as a description) who literally was on video how many times inside and outside Downingtown Area School District during COVID acting like a horse’s ass?
They don’t like it that people follow my blog. I don’t pay attention to stats much except when someone like her has to talk about it like they are an authority, but that has never been WHY I write. My raison d’être has never been to be an influencer, prom queen, cheerleader, or sit at their absurd proverbial middle school lunch table. I write because I want to, I write because I can, I write because I have something to say, and that is part of my inalienable rights as an American.
I loathe absurd, ridiculous, limited, and obnoxious women. The Twatwaffles for Trump are not joyful except when they feel they have an upper hand in their unending quest to make anyone not Stepford-matching-thinking-like-them feel bad. These broads (would they prefer that description?) dislike anyone who they can’t control or understand and above all else don’t give a good god damn what they think of them. They are all about control, and it’s ironic that as purported independent and powerful women they are literally subservient to a malignant narcissist like Trump. I have always wondered why they don’t wear “He grabbed me by the pussy” T-shirts?
Imagine being that woman standing in a beautiful garden filled with diverse plants and flowers. Instead of appreciating the beauty and variety, she focuses on a few plants she dislikes, proclaiming that those should be removed for the sake of the garden.

Someone like this author would never be invited to my home or garden. If they have been skulking about, that is trespassing. What I write about is up to me, not her/them, therefore it is my personal preference. If this verbal diarrhea social media post author doesn’t like what I write, why is she sooo fixated? It’s a big world, and an even bigger internet, why so obsessed with me? You know how Kamala says time to turn the page? This chick is like an old fashioned album with a needle stuck in a groove so all it does is skip and repeat in one spot. I can’t help her with her fixations. But hey calling ridiculous jihads on me gives her a way to fill her empty life, in spite of her having to verbally vomit how wonderful and talented she is.
The irony that the author of the Ultimate Neurotics Guide to Wearing Gas Masks in Public can prattle about seeing diversity in society, when she in fact belong to a cult that is anything BUT embracing and welcoming of anyone not in their Stepford-like image.
And obvious lack of substance? Projecting again much? I guess the difference is I don’t have to toot my own horn, and they all do. And clarity moment: I don’t actually hate these ridiculous women, I hate what they stand for and what they do to others. She’s not that important except to herself, which I guess also makes her a narcissist?
Can we talk about the irony of someone who literally defends Donald Trump talking about understanding Hate Has No Home Here? Homophobic, Transphobic, Drag Queen phobic, anything different phobic and she probably has one of those tacky assed “Be Kind” cheap pillows or wood plaques somewhere.
These women are not actually Republicans, nor are they true conservatives. They are more like living spam meets a virus. The real Republican party, the party of Lincoln, no longer exists. That is the long and short of it.

Ok that above? Where does one start? Insecure much? That’s great if she raced a pink bike, but why would I care? Was she in the Olympics? And stood up to the government? No babe, you cost taxpayers and school district countless piles of money with your bullshit during COVID. Face masks during a global pandemic were not “face diapers” they were a small thing to do and only people like yourselves were bothered. No one liked wearing masks, no one liked staying home, but as someone who lives immunocompromised with elderly relatives, why was it a big deal? The answer was it wasn’t but they were the selfish ones, projecting their tyranny on everyone under the guise of standing up to imaginary tyranny.
Does she really wish to talk Darwinism? Rich coming from a prime example of the gene pool needs more chlorine. And she wants to lament being called names? Ironic since that is rather hypocritic of her. And them in general.
Now the whole idea of them having a slumber party with Melania and Lara Lee Trump. Can you imagine? Melania would glare and stand alone with stay away body language and maybe Lara would sing? And bring their stylists to do their hair? Are they living in a Real Housewives of New Jersey episode?
But most importantly do blondes have more fun? I won’t pretend to be an authority, I am neither blonde nor do I pretend to be. And I suppose on point is a matter of LuLaRoe meets Slipada taste. These are people I have never had a desire to know, so I get they are their own mutual admiration society and hey that’s cool, they can trade their Barbies too.

Again offering me blogging advice. I write about what interests me, moves me, inspires me, means something, and what I find too ridiculous not to mock….like these “Joyful Warriors.”
I had to laugh at the suggestion to drink mostly water. Always have. Thanks for caring.
Once again I also smell a whiff of fat shaming. That’s a common thread for her. It makes her feel better. It’s predictable, yet hardly supportive of women as she claims to be. Ozempic was mentioned why? No I don’t actually, but is she criticizing those who do?
At it’s most basic, what these women like her can’t stand is when you stand up to their hypocrisy. So they project. And if it’s not them, it’s the pseudo granny squad version of them, who like to say they were on the scene before Stepford Wives for Totalitarianism, “Moms for America.”
I have little respect for women as limited as they are, as well as being mean as snakes. (So they understand, the phrase “mean as a snake” is a slang term used to describe someone who is treacherous, deceitful, or backstabbing.)
Their biggest problem with me is I don’t goose step lock step with them. I neither need nor want to know them. I am just myself, and that is simply not acceptable in their Stepford world of an echo chamber. So their Friday fun is another attempted jihad on me, their brand of cancel culture. Whatever. I survived breast cancer and ten years on Tamoxifen, do they really matter? Nope.
Why am I pointing this out? Because I can. Just like I pointed out the like minded thing in 2021 this exact time of year who posted a photo of me in a hospital gown from some part of 2011 and the beginning of my journey with breast cancer. Either before my surgery, or before I started radiation. That person posted it as a typical bitchy female shaming move, much like the recent fat shaming…and again it was for similar reasons. And also same time of year…
They do not like what I have had to say about any of them or their hate spewing Chiquita Bananas, but I am entitled to my opinions like anyone else. Sure they have their First Amendment rights to their opinions, but no law says I (or anyone else) has to group think agree with them and the First Amendment is not actually subjective is it?
Bless her heart, and I thank her for the additional validity that people like me think people like her and her ilk are just wrong. And super weird to boot.
So girl, bye. At you’re core y’all as a collective are a very ordinary bevy of wannabe Ann Coulters. Whackadoodle elsewhere, or run in place, it’s your party, only I am not attending.
Kiss 💋kiss 💋 for now….and y’all are about as authentic as a plastic bag.
I am so not in the mood this week. Today it started with the above comment. The person was simply removed from my blog’s Facebook page. No muss no muss, nope not with this guy and it is quite curious as to why he is reaching out to me at all. Next came the comment on this website:
For those of you whom have a hard time reading screenshots, this is verbatim:
I understand that you are a “blogger” and control your blog and your facebook page as being “privately” managed but for public dissemination of information. I also support your right to restrict, block, ban and delete comments at your option. I was merely trying to respectfully engage with you regarding your public statements on your facebook page regarding Octorara School District, myself and Officer Falgiatore. For whatever reason you chose to avoid a public discussion. Again, I don’t have an issue other than attempt to be reasonable with you here. I am unable to DM you. I publicly stated that I no longer own the website http://www.culturalcontrarian.org. I also stated that I don’t believe you acquired that domain either. I would love an opportunity to converse with you about your previous posts and what information you might be able to share with law enforcement. If you are not interested in speaking about the case publicly, that is totally fine. It’s your page and your comments and posts are a public record and I’m sure that you stand behind all of those.
Let’s be clear: there are no “conversations” with this guy if you have followed this drama of his creation over the past couple of years. It started when this guy showed up at an Octorara School Board Meeting with some sort of weapon, right? He also has a relationship with a school board member who is with East Whiteland Police Department as a Sergeant (not an officer, hey get the rank correct, right?)
I have written about Miller TWICE here on this website (2023):
So that’s it. A few times maybe on the blog’s Facebook page but it was in the news, on YouTube, etc. I was never breaking new ground or having any aha moments. It was already out there. I mentioned in May that he let his website lapse and someone took it over. This is his old website: https://www.culturalcontrarian.org/ – it has new content but it’s still about this whole Octorara barrel, not can, of worms.
So one would think with a rational human being, that would be the end of it. But no, not this guy, he pops up a little website to literally doxx and harass me. And he throws in the name of a police officer in East Pikeland for that matter.
I wondered what prompted his contact, and I wondered was it simply media won’t talk to him, so bug a blogger? Or was it his Checo Court of Common Pleas cast which has pre-trial in September? Here is that docket:
Everything about this whole bizarro world enchilada has been on social media, You Tube, some newspapers, court dockets etc. for two years or so. I followed it to a point, but not particularly intensely. I don’t know what his end game is, but I will not be harassed and doxxed because I don’t want to speak with him. I am also not hiding from this and what he is trying to now do to me because it’s wrong. He’s wrong and I can have that opinion. He will have his day in court, it has nothing to do with me. Mr. Miller also has other to reach out to, but he has decided I am a new target?
I am not playing this game. Below is just some of the stuff out there in the public domain about this. I still do not get why people think they can bring any kind of weapon to a school board meeting, let alone a school boar meeting way the hell out of their district.
One thing about being a blogger, it can be interesting. Sometimes you do actually have to file police reports, sadly.
One reason why I am so sensitive to the issues that the Great Valley Middle School teachers and staff are experiencing now is because what I’ve experienced personally over the years.
Quite a few years ago now when the whole topic of cyber bullying and cyber harassment was coming up, I had a really bad cyber bully and cyber harasser. In truth, they were also cyber stalking me. They were doing it across state lines which presented real problems for them, so eventually they went away. That actually does fall under Federal laws vis-à-vis interstate communications. And as I’ve mentioned before one of the people that used to like what this person did is a current sitting politician in a community in Chester County.
Cyberbullying is more common than you may think. And for many teenagers, young adults, and social media users in general of many ages, it poses a very real threat. As well as emotional distress and anxiety.
People or should I say institutions like school districts, etc. pay lip service too even if it’s happening to kids. But they don’t actually do that much and they actually could. But when this is happening to adults basically we’re just out there fending for ourselves.
Great Valley School District was hoping that East Whiteland Police Department would do their job for them. But what’s happening is civilly not criminally actionable and they should still be supporting their teachers but basically they’re playing duck and cover. In my humble opinion what we’re seeing now by reports of others attending school board meetings and reading agenda items for the school board, is you have a lot of teachers and staff starting to leave? Also, in my opinion? There’s a lot of questionable spending going on and taxpayers pay for that but that’s not the reason for this post.
I know what it’s like to experience what these teachers have experienced because I’ve experienced it on a different level. I’ve even had a woman post a photo of me in a hospital gown before breast cancer surgery like a wanted poster asking who I am.
I’ve had people on three different occasions, create fake pages distorting what I write, and harassing and bullying me. And all of those things have all been taken down.
This is why when people start, and it goes beyond a comment or a simple opposing point of view as in a conversation, that I just block people. I block people because I have the experience to know where this is going. And it’s a personal choice. People may wish to interact with you, but you don’t have to interact with them. It is that simple. 
And these people who come after me, are men and women.
When I was writing about that historic trestle bridge out towards Downingtown, which people refer to as the “suicide bridge”, I experienced someone who couldn’t just have an opposing point of view. It got to the point that their comments were really uncomfortable and really unpleasant, so I simply blocked them.
Then they popped up on NextDoor. NextDoor sadly is where the evolution of social media went off the rails. People post things publicly, including their address and their phone numbers because they mistakenly think it’s private. It’s also the platform where you see people who have been thrown off of other platforms go to post. In some regards, it’s sociologically fascinating.
Anyway, the person I blocked on Facebook because of the uncomfortable comments and vitriol directed towards me about the trestle bridge is on NextDoor. He was someone I forgot existed until he started popping up in my private messages.
I had forgotten who he was. But then he kept messaging me and it all came back. So this person was now contacting me in completely unsolicited manner and his biggest beef is I blocked him on social media on another platform? I mean you’re supposed to be an adult right? So move on why do you care so much about me one person? This is not a friend, or even an acquaintance, or former coworker,  it’s a complete stranger. 
So now this person supports any comment that is negative towards me about anything I might post on NextDoor.
Blocking people is a way to chose not to interact with someone. And guess what? It’s okay. Really.
Now on social media, there are no nos with blocking. For example, you can’t be in a group and block the admins and moderators. Their unpaid job is to keep groups running smoothly according to their rules.
Now, ironically, there’s one group that comes to mind in particular, that’s a lifestyle group where the actual admin and group owner blocks a lot of the people in the group. That way the group could keep up with the numbers and claim popularity but they don’t have to interact with comments they don’t like. But that’s their right, which is why for a couple of years when I was in this self-proclaimed influencer or public figure’s group I didn’t know it was their group because they blocked me and how crazy is that?
So then there’s this other person. They do work for developers whose plans I have not liked in a subcontracting capacity. So I know going into it, they’re not going to be fond of me and that’s fine.
But this next person started the bizarre habit of commenting on things on LinkedIn, which is essentially a professional platform. I never replied to any of the comments, except maybe like the first one and I kind of was like thank you for your opinion because I didn’t really know what else to say. But I found them basically stalking my profile there odd, so I thought the path of least resistance is just to remove him from being able to access my profile. So he was blocked.
Then I noticed an uptick of profiles from his company were also lookingconstantly at my profile. I also found that strange as it had never happened prior to this. It’s also a company I never paid attention to locally. I never knew they existed really before this. And I don’t care about them now. 
So now this person has discovered me on Nextdoor and doesn’t understand why it’s problematic that all of a sudden he’s commenting on my posts. He’s not commenting because he cares about the topic, he’s commenting to be a dissenting voice because I wrote the post. That is a form of cyber bullying or cyber harassment.
So I called this person out on it. Now I’m done.
No one has to like what someone else writes but when it feels like they go out of their way to hunt people down on different platforms because of what they say about or care about and not because they are a politician, or a self-professed, public figure or an influencer or anything they’re just an ordinary person, it’s wrong. And weird.
I get that it’s human nature to be curious, but it is also making me wonder if it is so ingrained societally that it’s now becoming the norm to just harass people you don’t like for whatever reason on social media. You know like those teachers at Great Valley Middle School.
This other person has no horse in this race literally. If I had not written the originating post, he would not have commented.
I guess my point is adults do this every day, so we shouldn’t be surprised the middle schoolers also do it. The difference is adults are old enough to know better. And adults need to impress upon minors that this is not acceptable behavior.
Only a lot of these adults? They don’t think their behavior has to change. They will tell you that they’re only expressing their opinion. But if they are following people from one social media platform to the next, is that normal? I don’t think it is, especially if it’s not someone you actually know in the real world in some capacity.
I’m not a celebrity, I’m not a public figure, I’m just one woman. I have never said I was perfect, but like anyone else I don’t want to put up with abusive behavior or what I perceive as abusive behavior.
Cyber bullying and cyber harassment is sadly a regular every day thing. They barely do anything about what is happening to our kids with regard to this, but they definitely do much less when it comes to protecting adults.
That is why if somebody’s making you feel uncomfortable and you can block them, that’s your personal choice. And it’s no big deal. NextDoor as a platform doesn’t offer a complete block and they should.
This is just my point of view on a topic I feel strongly about, you can agree or disagree with me and I’m happy to have a conversation, but don’t be like these men or Great Valley Middle Schoolers, it’s creepy.
Welcome to the land of malcontents and trolls… A.K.A. Facebook. As I turn 60, I marvel at these people.
This post captured in a screenshot appeared most recently on a public page that pretends to be local but is run literally by people from other parts of the country who have never lived here. It’s mostly a sounding board for people who hate pretty much everything that’s not them or the cult of Donnie.
So do they think that I am going to pull the covers over my head and cry? Have they met me ? Oh wait, they wouldn’t have because I don’t know people like this.
I figure he likes posting my picture, so perhaps I should post his? After all, it’s public on his Facebook page with a weird mouth inserted, probably to make him harder to identify? I figured that’s a valid question to ask given the posts that I have seen that he puts up that are well, somewhat offensive.
So that screenshot that opens this post is from this guy. The other day, he posted it in multiple places. Odd and obsessive about me yet I never knew he existed until the other day.
His behavior is not normal, it’s harassing. He is supposedly upset because I had written about the plight of the neighbors adjacent to the Brickette Lounge in West Chester. then he took issue with the fact that I was posting about the door-to-door salesman from Eco Shield Pest Solutions .
Eco Shield has aggressive sales people. When they were in my neighborhood I had to point out to them that I had posted no soliciting. Tall guy in the photo waived some permit thing he was wearing. I told him that didn’t matter that if I had posted no soliciting, and if he proceeded onto our property, it was legally trespassing. And then I asked him who he was working for. Three times I asked him what company he was working for, and he refused to answer.
So as he was wandering more around my neighborhood, I took his photo and the little guy he was with and I sent it to my township and what came back was the following from our local police department:
The group EcoShield does not have permits and were turned down for improper credentials.
Then the police actually cited sales people going door-to-door from this company the following day I think it was and one person they stopped was using credentials for another municipality a fair distance away. Also important to note that these guys are not local. All of these discoveries were made by a local police department, yet the troll blamed me.
Oh and the troll didn’t like what I said about the Brickette parking situation. Their patrons were parking so horribly (and dangerously) that West Whiteland had to put up a slew of “No Parking” signs for Kirkland and start ticketing. West Whiteland also went to PA for state “No Parking” signs for Route 100.
Route 100 or Old Pottstown Pike or whatever you want to call it shouldn’t need state signs for no parking, it should be common sense. But it wasn’t.
It was not me that caused West Whiteland to do the “No Parking” signs jam, neighbors went to meetings and stood up and spoke to the township officials and asked for help. They all said they didn’t mind the idea of the Brickette , because they had all been living with it even under prior ownership. But they pointed out that under prior ownership, they didn’t park up the neighborhood streets and leave trash, etc.
But this troll blamed me. And when I asked him why he was posting my face like wanted posters on social media, that it was harassment he said I was stalking him. And harassing him—yes pretzel logic: asking why he was in fact harassing me I was harassing him and stalking him because I asked on the page where I first became aware of his behavior who he was and where he came from because I didn’t know until that point he existed that I was stalking him.
Yes for real. I kept the screenshots. And his buddy another Trumpian misanthrope has to mention my “crazy Karen eyes” and that if I am blocking them he will ban me from a group that I left…and blocked them.
Oh and then the guy who claims that I am the bad bunny announces how he has been looking into me although he admits that I am not a public figure.
Yep pretty creepy. But I am the bad bunny, apparently. And who knew? I’m also a Karen. I had no idea the tribe that gives Karens shelter wanted me to count among them?
Anyway I am making this public because I reject this harassment of me for no reason other than a troll doesn’t like my opinions. I mean gosh if we went through what he posts everywhere I am sure our eyes would cross right?
I’m so tired of these people. It’s like no other opinions can exist other than what they are comfortable with. He also mentioned that I should help people, because according to him I need to and don’t. (Also good to know.)
In case you are wondering why we need to live more in a world that is balanced and not full of hate and creepiness, this is a good reason. I don’t know about you but the idea of living in a world where January 6th becomes like a twisted Groundhog Day is rather unappealing. And Facebook still does nothing much about these people, yet they have AI that will remove posts for words they find suspicious in benign posts.
I always love when sock puppets post in random places asking about moi. So “Laura Madden” doll, what’s your question?
So sock puppet Laura is talking about private messages? Obviously I guess someone is having and serving tea at my expense, which I can’t control. I leave the clown car to other people like sock puppets.
Interestingly enough you can’t spell much better than the “psychotherapist” can you?
Coincidence or sock puppet?
Showing a feminine side? Who’s your “friend” you are being so valiant for?
Gosh honey why not just come to the source? But you can’t because yours is a fake account, isn’t it?
And Main Line Community how is that post even keeping with your page? Not sure what your page is about anyway?
And again with the group of it all. Chester County Ramblings is a blog, this blog. This blog has a Facebook page, it’s not a group.
So…. sock puppet “Laura Madden” is being a true blue girlfriend to someone who is not on Facebook, yet apparently gave them things on Facebook? Claims she is real and not just sent to throw shade? And she says that this post is unhinged and batshit crazy? Oh and she is the definition of normal for stirring the pot?
So is she real or is she sock puppet? Maybe she’s both?
Oy vey. Also, it’s not like I’m the only one that questions this person or follows the weirdness on the Google reviews am I? I honestly never knew that someone could buy reviews, but apparently like on Amazon it’s a thing.
And I’m also not a public figure nor have I said, nor pretended to be nor do I ever want to be an influencer which is polar opposite of good old what’s his name and Berwyn? But I actually have real friends that are not among the hoards of popcorn eaters watching the drama in a sub par group which exists solely as shameless narcissistic self promotion, right?
So I am glad that sock puppet is showing her feminine side, aren’t you? What’s next posting a photo of me in a hospital gown while I was going through breast cancer surgery and treatment? Oh wait…someone already did that.
Lordy what a world. The nouveau Main Line is riding the cray cray.
Cheers! It’s AMAZING to be middle aged and ever so titillating! 🤣
