Dear hater,

This note is how much attention I care to give you. And I’ll link to it from now on before removing your trolling attempts.

Speaking of trolls, there aren’t as many as there seems to be. Often times it’s the same person making throw-away Medium accounts just to come at me with disrespect. I’m not that stupid, I can see when an account is new and hasn’t been used for anything else. But sure, underestimate me away. This makes the clean-up easier. You keep trying to grab me by the ego, but what you don’t know, hater(s), is that my ego isn’t as overinflated as yours to go on the endless back-and-forth you expected in the comments. It just isn’t. You want to feel smart, feel like you “won” because I didn’t bite your baits and so it looks like I “don’t have a counterargument”? Go the hell ahead and feel it. Tell everybody you know. Buy yourself a trophy. I don’t care.

By all means, keep trying, keep using this “energy vampire” strategy on me. I’ll keep deleting. Let’s see who endures longer. I hope this 5-year-old-friendly language finally lands.

This “article” is an exposé. It’s supposed to be here because I’ve already tried addressing this phenomenon privately in the comments, but keep seeing it repeat. So, I can only conclude that what you guys want is for me to hold a mirror to you, in public, so that everyone can see how rotten you are and how much shame you deserve. Better now? Only understand it when I rant? Well, then, your wish is my command.

Understand one thing: what I said in my articles, I will not unsay. I don’t need anyone to approve of it. There are many who do, it’s nice, but I don’t need it. I don’t care that you feel entitled to bug me repeatedly until I give you an apology for exposing the shadows you’re not willing to deal with. This blog is NOT a comfy place full of coddling and reassurance. There are blogs that serve those purposes. Go there, get out of here, if that’s what you’re looking for. Or don’t — honestly, I don’t give a fuck. I’m just showing everybody in the room how utterly miserable and pathetic you are. All you do is spend your time and energy on me. What about YOUR life? Your goals, dreams, your work? All left in second plan, because what matters to you is your petty vendetta. Wow, how grown-up of you.

Take a good look in the mirror. Look at your life, your environment, what you do with your resources. Let’s be honest here: you’re caught-up trying to silence a blogger you haven’t even met in person… And in order to do that, you’re missing out on more valuable experiences in life. Is that enough food for thought? Are you proud of yourselves now?

I’m not unsaying a single word of what I already said. Yes, sometimes my articles aren’t perfect. Who cares? Is ANYBODY perfect? Yes, sometimes I do the things I’m calling out. Again, who cares? Is ANYBODY deserving of a high-horse, pretty much EVER? These are all excuses to try and mask reality, and the reality is: you want to silence me. You want me to feel “not good enough” to talk about whatever I’m talking about. And that’s where I ask you: is that so?

No, honestly, is that so?

Am I “not good enough”? Am I breaking any law here? Am I in breach of any rules set out by the platform (Medium)? Well, if I am, all you gotta do is report my content. Go on. Report it. I wanna see you try that. You won’t, because you KNOW there is no objective reason for silencing me. You can disagree, a lot of people disagree respectfully, but you can’t silence me. You can’t control what I say or don’t say. And this drives you mad, since I poke the wounds you don’t want to heal or address. Well, again, I’m not forcing anyone to be ready to face their ugly side. I already said: go elsewhere. Seek your comfort. Seek your validation. There’s a time for that, ain’t nothing wrong with that. But what you’re NOT entitled to is demanding that everybody else outside of this comfort and validation echo-chamber of yours start doing the same just to appease you.

You’re one more person in the crowd, not a king, not a queen, not a figure of authority. So, go back to your place or I’ll put you there regardless.
