This is beautiful, Helen. Thanks so much for gracing Rogues’ Gallery with your talent.
Yes, there is someone who did, to me, exactly what you stated in your story. He tried to bring me down for posting a story I wrote that was published in a pub that he named as being “homophobic.”
He tried to publicly shame me in one of the Facebook groups and the vitriol he spewed is not to be believed. He also commented on my story here in RG. I’m sure you can find it, if interested.
I’ll tell you: I’ve had it with being an unwitting target for other peoples’ anger. Either direct it where it belongs or shut the F up because I will report you. I don’t care. I’m not here to take abuse. My “payouts” are abuse enough.
Thanks, my friends.
