Finally, the school's IT department is "listening" to me!

I think that also has a little bit to do with it.
An online friend of mine says they set up and do bad things to people because misery makes a person easier to manipulate and control. That also makes a lot of sense.
This area is generally regarded as worse than most and I think that is another factor that is part of the equation.
Other than that, I don't understand why they seem to have singled me out more than most.
I'm past sick of it, but they just don't seem to understand any part of "NO!" (or "leave me alone!").
