I am currently on Facebook and Twitter. I do not block any of my tweets. I like the idea that I can send out a question and in seconds have a response. I like talking to complete strangers about how crazy The Real Housewives of New Jersey was the night before. If it weren't for Twitter, I would never have gotten offered to be the fan blogger for the Mad Ants.
I have had a few nasty comments from people on Twitter, but it's usually been about the shows that I am watching or the celebs that I like. Until last night. Here's what happened.
Me: Tyson Beckford shirtless on The T.O. Show. Yes, please.
Bully: HOE
Me: I'm a hoe?
Bully: yup
Me: Because I said yes please to Beckford w/o a shirt? Pretty harsh stmt for someone you don't know.
Bully: Yeah because the dude is gay and you sitting up there saying yess sounds pretty desperate if you ask me
Me: Ha. Thanks for the laugh
at this point, my friend on Twitter chimes in the conversation
Bully: yeah we can say girls look good with their shirt off but not yall (talking about me and my friend)
Bully: who the fuck are you? (he says this to my friend)
Bully: Girl you better get the fuck out of my mentions and go back to trying to see if OCHO CINCO will follow you GD!!! (he says this to my friend)
Me: I'm confused. U invited me into your timeline by tweeting me 1st. Saying a man looks good w/o a shirt does not make me a hoe.
Bully: yes thats the truth it sounds desperate ma (says this to me)
Bully: You act like a racist no offense (says this to me)
I think I got all of the tweets on here from all three of us. At this point, me and my friend block him from our Twitter page. SO, he signs into another Twitter page he has and steals my friend's avatar picture, posts it to his Twitter page and says, "HOW COULD A BITCH LOOK THIS UGLY?"
So, now we've blocked both of his Twitter pages. And, side note, he hit "follow" on both of our Twitter pages. You're attacking me and now you want to follow me?!
On my Twitter page, I have my blog URL posted. This Bully went to my blog, saw the link to my Facebook page and sent me not one, but two friend requests. One from his personal Facebook page AND then another that had my profile picture.
At this point, I was a little scared. I got up and blocked the Facebook profiles and then reported the one with my picture to Facebook. Luckily, I got an email this morning that says they shut down that Facebook page. Just now, I saw that he sent me an email from that Facebook page (before it was cancelled) that said "racist ass."
I am absolutely disgusted at the lengths this guy went to not only to attack me but invade my personal space by stealing my picture.
Today, I have looked at his Twitter timeline and it appears as though he attacks a lot of people. He is calling people gay but with the "f" word. He is telling people they're ugly, etc. What I do not understand is that he is following over 56,000 people while being followed by over 60,000 people. He also has sent over 133,000 tweets. If you know anything about Twitter, you know this is a bit extreme.
As I'm sitting here typing this blog entry, I'm watching Dr. Phil. Today's topic? Bullying. This kid killed himself after being bullied by his peers for years. His sister goes to the school dance and these bullies scream at her and tell her they are glad her brother killed himself.
I'm so sadden inside. It makes me want to do something. It makes me want to get out and be a voice for kids. I am really considering looking into any type of volunteering.
If there are parents reading this. I beg you. Talk to your kids. Instill confidence, self-worth, self-esteem. Even more importantly, talk to them about how to treat others. Please.
