Trolls Make My Teeth Ache
Aug. 29th, 2006 12:08 pmI seem to have a troll. Loads of fun, and nearly completely wrong on everything except the fact that I used to have a really messy car, which was kinda common knowledge so it's not exactly the big reveal in Act Three of CSI: Fandom.
Word to the troll, whose IP is noted and logged: Don't bother. I am not a tech whiz, and don't pretend to be one. I know lots of real tech whizzes, and they are the people I go to when I have serious problems. But I'm not clueless either.
If you've got a genuine problem with me about something, the e-mail is filkertom at yahoo dot com. I'll listen. If I just offend you on general principles, though, sorry, but I don't feel like explaining private details of my life just to deflect an amateur-night Don Rickles. If you just want to insult me from behind a fake name, both of us have better things to do.
So, is anybody else holding some kinda grudge I should know about? Have I ticked you off? Something unresolved? I'm very serious here. Apart from the Bush Administration and their enablers, I don't need or want enemies. Certainly not in fandom, not among people whom I consider friends. If you'd rather take it to e-mail, that's good too.

She tried to pin some nasty stuff on me to make me look like a bad wife to my husband, and used someone else to do it, someone who'd decided I didn't share his lighthearted look on life (I was too "churchy") and therefore had to be punished. I tried to make sense of it for MONTHS, then finally just put it away, chalked it up to People Are Weird, and did my best to move on. And now I know my husband is intelligent and that he trusts me, so the whole thing wasn't a TOTAL bust.
So there might be a reason behind it, or it might just be that you've gotten entangled in someone's web of delusion. The feeling that I get from the post is that you'd be best off thinking of former co-workers, but that's only a feeling.
