Blackmail!

I have someone trying to black mail me online.

This isn’t something that’s new, not by far, but it’s happening. Someone who reads my journal found both my blogs, and suddenly I’m “all over the internet” and they’ve gotten the idea that my journal is a rip-off of these blogs. Hmm. No. I also think it’s laughable that I am being black mailed by someone who has no idea who they are blackmailing. To put it bluntly, everything in my journal has been published, publicly, in either of these blogs, that are viewed by 6,000 – 8,000 people per week. So making whatever is in my journal public is really going to hurt me. *g* I learned the hard way, a long time ago, that you don’t put your secrets online. You don’t tell the world what you feel in your heart unless you want the world to know it. It’s not like a paper journal that you can carry with you forever and ever and make sure no one else reads it. We have no control who comes to our sites or what agendas they might develop after they visit.

For example, Mr. X may visit my website and fall madly in love with me. He may visit several times per day, though common sense will tell him that I only update once per day, if that often. Mr. X soon decides that from reading what little bit of my posts that I put out here, he’s madly in love with me, I am The One for him, and he wants no other. Alright. Whatever. I can easily block him, but it’s the idea. If this were a paper journal, it would be my own fault for leaving it open where others could get to it.

I hope they blackmail me all they want. I’m sick of being nice to people who are not nice to me. I offered Dreamwidth codes and this is how they pay me back? Bastards. Go for it, though. More power to you when you look like an idiot, huh?

99.9% of what is in my journal is cross posted to my blogs. The exception was the Dreamwidth codes, and that was only because I thought those people would be interested in having them first. I could have just posted them to the DW community and be done with it. Oh well.
