Hiya everyone, I’m going to take a small break, I’ll be back Monday morning.

Need to clear my rusty old head, it’s been a truly weird day.

I told you before about the freaky abuse I got from the creature that is @MrMilitantNegro, it was a miserable whinge back then, and I could still thump myself for publicly letting him get to me – which, of course, utterly thrilled him. He celebrated my girly meltdown on his blog at the time, he viewed it as ‘mission accomplished’.

You put yourself on the internet, and then complain about abuse? I know, I know: embarrassing.

But, it was just kind of weird that the ugliest abuse – of the personal and sexual kind – I had ever received since starting the blog in the dim and distant past of October 2009 came from a supposed President Obama supporter.

So, yeah, the nature of this guy’s abuse got to me, it came at a very bad time personally, so I let emotions get the better of me, it was sexually violent language, and he made it pretty clear to me that the main reason he despised me was because I’m a woman who runs a popular blog – and he was never going to forgive me for either offense. But, having poured bile all over TOD, and all who comment here, he vowed to continue copying every single post he ever saw here. He didn’t seem to get the contradiction – but he’s not a very bright man, to be honest. In fact, he’s seriously stupid.

Back then, I didn’t explain myself very well, which he exploited, telling his followers I was a ‘selfish bitch’ who wouldn’t share her stuff with his splog (spam blog – ie one that just reblogs posts or copies posts from other blogs, usually with all links removed), but it was never about an objection to reblogging or sharing stuff, just about everything here is a link to somewhere else – the aim being to send you on to the sites with good stuff, eg Steve Benen, Charles Pierce, ThePeoplesView, Greg Sargent, Michael Tomasky, etc.
