The peak of his immaturity showed up in Myspace a few months or so ago when his wife found some of my posts in online support groups by cyberstalking. She put them on display in her Myspace homepage blogs. They opened up their homepage for family and friends to see the insults, slanders and accusation that they posted on my husband and I. From there they carried on conversations with his wife’s friends, my daughter and son-in-law about assumptions and twisted meanings to my posts that they found through cyberstalking.

If you keep a sense of humor about it, cyberharassment is much more tolerable. My other three children left Myspace one by one because of the harassment strategies. He didn’t stop until I completely closed my own Myspace account, blocked him out of every email account that I had, including my professional email through a state network. Yes, it was necessary. He contacted me in every way he could except he would not contact me face to face or in real life.

Be proactive. I went to my boss in case his accusations made their way into my profession. I went to the local police department and had two officers visit their Myspace blogs during periodic intervals (just for the record). I sent every email and blog to my attorneys and I informed everyone I knew as to what was going on. With two hundred pages of emails going both ways, Myspace blogs, online comments, and a journal I kept that recorded contact they had that was out of the ordinary to others, and recording my own correspondences with professionals and authorities, I did what I could to feel empowered against him. Though he still got his rush from cyberbullying, I felt as though I had some control with my proactive strategy. That may not have influenced the situation but it was good for me to feel as though I had the situation under control by being this proactive.

As far as getting these bullies to stop? Ignore them. They want a reaction, no matter what it is. Any and all reactions just make them bully worse. It doesn’t matter if it’s a kind or cruel reaction. The cyberbully needs that rush.

I finally got a clue and left every site that he knew I was on then blocked him from everything else. Since then it’s been a freedom undescribed.
The only thing you can do is be proactive by creating a paper trail, than remove yourself in any way you can from the online connections. Appealing to a bully only makes it worse. Defending yourself only makes it worse. Being exceptionally kind only makes it worse. Laughing makes them furious. Forgiving and forgetting only makes it worse. Ignoring them and trying to be civilized only makes it worse. The worse thing you can do out of all there is to do is to try to reason with them. There is no reasoning with them. There is absolutely nothing that will work with this kind of mentality, except to disappear.

I suggest you disappear.
