PSA: Overinvested Trolls

aeltrileaf:

If you think only the Antis and Stannies troll? I’ve got news for you, some of SH’s friends have engaged in this behavior as well. Gambles didn’t even bother hiding his identity when he trolled the BeyHive, remember? Jaime Byng and Shaun Usher openly ridiculed TFOE as Ben’s self-styled Fandom Police tore into her. TFOE was a teenager who closed most if not all of her social media accounts after being threatened at home and at school. Since then, other people both inside and outside of the skeptic community have been viciously attacked. BC gives the Antis/Stannies cookies so they keep doing it, if he stopped rewarding them they would behave. Simple as that. When people claim that a victim is “psychotic” or a “liar” simply for talking about harassment it is deeply hurtful. I refuse to let anyone gaslight me, I know very well what I have both seen and heard. I have documented proof… 

I am not going to go into too many details but here goes…about 3 months ago I started getting a barrage of hateful messages. They were mocking in tone and based on the idioms used I was able to get a good idea of their possible origin. It’s no surprise that the overall profile coincides with that of one of SH’s close friends. In addition to this I received three anonymous phone calls via an international proxy number around the beginning of August. The timing etc. was telling, that’s all I can say. While I did not answer the first two I picked up on the third. This is where it gets very interesting and troubling, the woman on the other side sounded exactly like you guessed it. Same accent, same pitch, same everything. If it was an impersonation it was flawless but I have my doubts about that. Furthermore there was a man in the background, his voice was medium-high pitched and he too spoke with an RP accent. I will not repeat what they said but I thought I should share this in light of what has happened recently. 

A reminder of when it all began…
