poly activism

[baratron]

As I seem to be awake, I've been writing stuff about polyamory in various places. I posted three or four comments in reply to things in compersion, and I just posted this. I'll probably poke my head into the actual polyamory journal now.

Still feel sick, though Olbas oil is clearing my nose a bit.

hi there

Hi there. Sorry to write here, but this seems to be my best hope at the moment.

I have been stalked (on LJ at least) by Bratbitch from polyamory. I have been trying to get into contact with 00goddess about it, but don't seem able to find her. She has now decided to report me to abuse, for what she claims is me abusing her (she refuses the slightest suggestion she has attacked me, after all she is a confessed sadist who takes pleasure in hurting others, so what she is doing is not wrong at all, just who she is...). Apprently my calling her a bitch and complaining about her unprovoked attacks on me warrant my journal getting deleted. And somehow I think that she might have a chance, because I was quite simply deleting her comments on my journal. But now she is starting some kind of a campaign to hurt me, and I have fears....

I'd just like to be able to go to a community and not have to fear attacks from people like her. Or quite simply, her. Now maybe this is just me, but polyamory is meant to be about love, not hate. I really don't think that she should be allowed to post there really, and it makes me cringe to see anything. She is probably better suited in an s&m kind of board.

I don't mind her keeping a diary. What right do we have to stop others from stating their personal thoughts? I just don't think she should have this kind of power bestowed on her. I shouldn't have to feel like I can't say whats on my mind in my own journal.

Anyway, so if you know of any way to contact 00goddess then please can you. I might end up talking to that other girl, the one that started comperson if I can't get a hold of her. Or maybe you can help?

Bye

Sorry, I only started posting here myself a couple of days ago. I haven't got the first idea how to go about dealing with something like this, and I don't know how to get hold of 00goddess. Can't you send her email? (00goddess at livejournal dot com, it seems).

It seems rather odd to me that she's trying to report you to the abuse team. Surely, if she's the one doing the abusing, _you_ should be reporting _her_ to abuse? I'd really suggest you do that. Presumably they have logs of all the posts that have been made, including the ones that have been deleted, and it will be obvious from that who's causing the trouble.
