Ok, here’s the latest and hopefully the END of the troll saga. As I’ve said before, giving Molly a chance was the dumbest thing and it totally backfired on me. I thought that maybe if I just acknowledged her instead of being so quick to push her away or ignore her she wouldn’t be such a pest that way. But I was wrong. She was not only the pest from hell with all her 10 million demands, pleas and shit like that, but she can’t handle rejection very well at all. She turned on me instead of just respecting my wishes not to have anything more to do with each other, and just like she once did on MyOpera, she got her mother and possibly a friend to help gang up on me on Thoughts with all kinds of comments, insults and other childish shit. Personally, I don’t care if someone’s trashing and bashing me in their blog. It’s their blog. It’s when they take it on over to my blog and leave unwanted comments that I draw the line.

Well, I had blocked the 4 or 5 accounts I knew her to have but then her mother joined and left a comment, which was promptly deleted as soon as they saw I was online. I blocked her mother on Facebook after sending a message months ago basically shaming her for making excuses for her daughter and for being such an enabler of her online behavior. The comment she left me last night agreed that Molly needed to leave me and my friends alone, but that she’d like me to contact her on Facebook because she had some “information” for me. Oh, and don’t insult her intelligence again because she’s got a degree in mathematics, and 14-year-olds talk like I do in Texas (I had commented that she wasn’t very bright for a teacher in the message I sent her months ago since she hadn’t caught on to all her darling daughter was up to).

I didn’t contact her mother, of course, as there’s nothing to say. And perhaps I’m just being paranoid but that so-called information has me a bit worried. Especially since I saw Molly had written that she Googled but didn’t find anything. Then there were two comments in regards to that from the mother, both of which were deleted. I hope my fears are unfounded but I worry the “information” had to do with court-related stuff or maybe to rub in my past brushes with the law, guilty or not.

Another strange thing is that I sold a copy of my book just hours after it was published. A coverless copy of my book, that is. We only just now got the cover problem resolved. While I’m thrilled to make a sale, especially so fast, I just couldn’t help but wonder if it was troll-related and if they plan to bash the book. Or worse, leave nasty and unrelated comments/links.

Even though I know I didn’t do a damn thing wrong (Molly wrote post after post bashing me and half a dozen other people, though she ran and deleted them when she got Mommy involved), I always fear being thrown into another legal nightmare after what I already went through down in Arizona. Life is unfair. God is unfair. These things really do happen where the perps find ways to legally victimize their victims after victimizing them in other ways. I should know. They could only make up and falsify what they don’t actually legally have, and even though it seems highly unlikely, I still worry about these things.

Molly and her people haven’t bothered me today, but Kim was run off the site too, fed up with the troll’s stalking and ugliness. But then she went back and left a post wishing Molly the best in life but to please let her and her friends be. She feels what Andy feels in that she shouldn’t let one bad apple spoil things for her. That may sound like good advice and be easy to say, but sometimes it’s not that easy when the person is so damn determined and obsessive. She keeps creating new accounts (and sometimes her friends and mother do too) to get at me faster than I can block them. So yeah, sometimes one bad apple is all it takes to really spoil things and take the fun out of things. Some people simply refuse to coexist peacefully with others and allow others to ignore them.

Molly’s swearing to Aly that was NOT her mother who contacted me and wondered if it could be a friend, but I think it was the mother. We know Molly’s a pathological liar, and I can tell by the way it was written and by the things she said that it’s almost certainly her. I’m hoping that because the troll didn’t mention any lawsuits or anything it means I have nothing to worry about. Aly said there was desperation in her tone in her message.

So there I was determined to quit all public blogging save for email and a select group on Facebook when I got the sweetest message from a woman named Dani on Thoughts who has also been pestered for over a year by this obsessive, needy pest turned monster when rejected, complimenting my writing and urging me not to let her run me off. But I was still determined to go when yet another woman named Dee said the same thing and how she enjoyed reading my posts and all that. Really, I am beyond flattered that some people really seem to like my writing. :)

Creating a new account under a different name was suggested to me, but it wouldn’t work. The troll would find it. That’s what stalkers do. The others have tried that and it didn’t work for them. She found them in no time. And so I decided that as a compromise I’d make my blog friends only. I know Andy probably wouldn’t want to register and friend me there so I’m emailing him my entries.

Aly also said Molly’s now blocked from Thoughts and is blogging on Xanga. I’ve heard of it but never cared for it. This much might actually be true cuz she hasn’t viewed me in a whopping 10 hours. I realize, though, that she’s not going to go away on her own for more than a few days to a week, and that after a year and a half, the only way to get her to go away is if I go away. This is why I have to keep things private or at least friends only for a good long while. I’m just sick of the drama. As I said, sometimes one is all it takes to ruin an otherwise good thing. It’s like trying to eat your favorite meal at a restaurant with a kid screaming in the next booth or with tons of flies buzzing around your head. If that one thorn is sharp enough, it’s really hard to concentrate on enjoying the rose.

So other than having an overhaul in pop-ups I can’t seem to get rid of, and then the runs which knocked me down 4½ pounds in just one day along with a loss of appetite, life is good as long as I don’t have to hear any more from Molly and her associates. I’m finally getting over my illness. I can’t believe how sick I got! It’s been years since I was that sick, though I could still function for the most part. My head is finally draining and I coughed up some shit from my lungs. It didn’t taste all that great but it was good to get it up. I slept horribly, though, due to all the stress the troll and company put on me, so hopefully I’ll sleep better next time around.

But why me? If the mother really is after me, why me? Others have written similar things about her precious daughter in their own blogs.

Anyway, sometimes I think of how Tom said the other day, “I don’t have any friends. I’m safe,” when I was telling him about the latest in online drama, and sometimes I envy him. But it’s a little late for me to turn back now. I can keep from making more friends (or as many), but I’m certainly not going to dump the ones I have. But yeah, I’d rather play it a little safer from here on out even if it might slow book sales down a bit.

Speaking of friends, I got a friend request from one of Nane’s friends in Leipzig, Germany, Christiane. I thought I sent her a request months ago but she decided not to accept it and so I was confused to get one today. I messaged her about it, and she said she sent me one but didn’t see me on her list. So I accepted the request she sent me and Christiane is now on my list. She’s tall and dark but with light eyes. She’s got a great body and appears to be around Nane’s age. She’s not outstanding looking but she is attractive. And guess who’s staying away? Yeah, me. :) Personally, I don’t know anything about her or what her orientation may be. She doesn’t look lesbian and she does have a son, so I guess that leaves either bi or straight. It doesn’t matter, though, as I learned my lesson from Nane as far as staying away from the cyber girlfriend thing goes. She knows Nane and I “broke up,” too, LOL.

I’m surprised she doesn’t have any pictures of her and Nane in any of her albums. They seem to be close, longtime friends.
