Dear friends and followers,
I would like to thank you for your support. Presently my bog is being subjected to a series of abusive trolling. I hope this does not intrude into your appreciation of the content.
I am being subjected to death threats, threats to my house, derogatory personal abuse and puerile comments.
I have a zero tolerance to trolls. I will delete all comments of a derogatory nature and people guilty of trolling. While I do not wish to suppress debate I will not allow my followers to be abused or for myself to have to put up with a stream of nastiness.
In the meantime I am taking action. I am retaining the comments and threats. I have an IT expert who is investigating the IP addresses – I believe they are come from one source. I am involving the police. Harassment is an offence but I believe that death threats are taken very seriously. Fortunately I have friends who are solicitors and a relative who is a DI. We’ll see what comes from this.
This trolling is designed to cause upset and prevent me speaking. I refuse to be bullied.
I am taking this very seriously and am not prepared to accept abuse. Freedom is too important.
Thank you for your continuing support.
So sorry you’re going through this, Opher. It doesn’t put me off reading your blog posts … don’t let trolls incite you to anger. x
Thanks Ellem. It is a coordinated attack under many different assumed names. It is very annoying. I just hope it doesn’t upset all my genuine followers. Thanks for your support.
😱😱😱 sorry you have to deal with all that 💩 Opher!!!! Stay strong!!
Cheers Linda. I guess there are just some very malicious people out there.
Unfortunately there are ☹️
Never mind Linda. We just have to ensure that they don’t win. My solicitor friend says we’ve got a good case that the police will go for. My IT guy is coming round this week and we’ll get the evidence. We’ll see where this goes. Death threats are not to be taken lightly.
No threats should be taken lightly. Stay safe Opher
Linda – it is very hard to understand what makes some people tick. They get a kick out of being nasty or upsetting people. That’s life. That’s humanity.
That is terrible, Opher. I’m so sorry for you. I hope they catch the troll.
Very unpleasant Jenny. But that’s life. Some people seem to get pleasure out of being malicious. We’ll see what transpires when my IT guy gets to work. I think I know what the outcome of that will be and my relative, the DI (Detective Inspector), was very interested in the threats. It could prove interesting. We’ll see.
Keep us posted. I/we like to hear about ‘getting the bad guy’.
Jennie we’ll see what my IT guy comes up with. My relative is very interested and is advising me.
Good news!
Jennie – we’ll see how it pans out.
