I’m stating this publicly so that there’ll be less chance you’ll misconstrue my words and because this is the forum you’ve used to contact me most recently.
I promised that I would not respond to you, and in the past 8 months, I’ve kept that promise. In exchange, I was promised that you would leave me alone and not contact or harass me again. I’m breaking that promise now to tell you this, just once:
DO NOT send me any more emails to an email address I did not share with you.
DO NOT call my private cell phone again (a number I did not share with you). Making one hang-up call after another for hours on end and keeping my child up after her bedtime is harassment, any way you cut it.
DO NOT have a third party call repeatedly while you’re waiting unannounced on a conference call.
DO NOT text me again and especially not repeatedly.
DO NOT post any more anonymous comments to my journal (or any other forum) in response to posts about my life and my insights.
DO NOT join other networks and forums I’m a member of just to stalk me.
DO NOT try again to “friend” me on social networks.
DO NOT IM me again under someone else's account.
DO NOT email me again under someone else's account.
DO NOT call my home phone, even if it's just to hang up.
DO NOT automatically assume that everything is about YOU. I’ve had over 3000 public articles online over the past 5 years and 99.9% (that includes this post, if you’re doing the math) have nothing to do with you. Some of your assumptions have been hilarious, especially when the person’s real identity was in the next sentence and known to my friends and family, who are the readers here I care about. The reason you can read things into those articles is because you are LOOKING for anything that you can apply, even on the smallest level, to YOU, and in the worst possible way you can apply it. It may be a blow to your ego, but really, most people don’t lie awake at night looking for ways to make your life (or anyone else’s) miserable-they’re too busy with their own lives. Half the time you think they’re doing something on purpose, but they don’t even remember you exist. The sad truth you'll realize eventually is that almost nothing anyone does is about YOU.
This is the only response you will get from me.
