He was giving us all a bad name. Proving the point of atheists and non-believers about the whole "holier than thou" thing. He thought he was being a good Christian by doing this, but he was really just making us Christians look bad. Sad is right.--carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805561962175920077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-49662993552169274972010-03-25T11:33:32.710-04:002010-03-25T11:33:32.710-04:00Diana, I've thought about making my tweets pri...<b>Diana</b>, I've thought about making my tweets private, but I feel like that would give him some sort of happiness that he's effected me so much.<br /><br /><b>On The Weigh Loss Journey</b>, my husband thought about taking it to the police.

Well, we can say it, but Lord help us if we say anything bad about them. I'm extremely careful because of the horror stories I've heard (people have been fired for saying their opinion about the company, in a negative light, in their blogs or on Facebook). <br /><br />Your company doesn't sound like the problem though, it sounds like a nut case out there on the internet just looking to cause trouble.<br /><br />Have you thought of making your tweets private? Maybe just temporarily?<br /><br />So sorry this happened to you, of all people. You're so sweet! Anyway, be careful and protect yourself.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951858455082596559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-48192876604673460512010-03-25T09:27:19.072-04:002010-03-25T09:27:19.072-04:00Screwdestiny, I know, that's exactly what I th...Screwdestiny, I know, that's exactly what I thought. His actions seemed very un-Christian like to me, too.<br /><br />Verity Vaudeville, I thought about blocking him but after the reaction I got from him once I unfollowed him (which was the point when he said he'd call the owner) I was afraid to block him because who knows how mad that would make him or what he'd say to the owner. At some point I will block him, I just want to give it a while to die down some.<br /><br />Blue & Tammy, I know I shouldn't have responded to anything he said, but I felt like I had to only because he mentioned my company and I had my company name in my bio. I thought if I didn't responded, he'd definitely cause some problems for my company. Bigger things have happened from much smaller things. I kept envisioning him taking it to the press or worse a "Letter to the Editor" of my magazine, which could really reek havoc for me. But I really wish I could have just ignored him.<br /><br />I'm just mad now because I'm so cautious about my tweets now.--carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805561962175920077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-23766593535925728752010-03-25T09:03:36.457-04:002010-03-25T09:03:36.457-04:00He's jealous.

Thats what these folks do. Your best defense is to go about your tweeting in EXACTLY the same way as always. Write a blanket tweet to everyone informing them that you have preempted his threat and spoken to your boss already, you cannot and will not be threatened by him, and then remove all contact or block the guy...just dont engage with him in any manner. I am sure there are ways of doing that. If not, then just totally ignore whatever he says. There is no fun in it for him if he cant get a rise out of you and he will soon find some other unfortunate who will have to run the gauntlet that you have just experienced.<br /><br />Blue~Manon~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07708960722129807731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-84013596993019516682010-03-25T04:04:39.954-04:002010-03-25T04:04:39.954-04:00It just sounds like someone trying to get a reacti...It just sounds like someone trying to get a reaction out of you, and realising that once they've got it, it won't take much to keep on getting that reaction. <br /><br />So the main thing is to not rise to the bait first time round, and/or block said person if you can, and move on with using twitter as you see fit to.The Girl From Back Thenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686813455208322055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-90567432237488855112010-03-25T02:40:19.763-04:002010-03-25T02:40:19.763-04:00Uh, wow.

So, I don't quite get it...was this guy terribly offended because he himself is a "Christian" and didn't like the re-tweeting of profanity? Because if he is, that is certainly a very un-Christian like thing that he is doing. Seriously, who acts like that? I thought we got over the tattle-tell mentality by the age of 10. But I guess some people never do? I guess they have such sad, pathetic lives that they have to try to start crap with others? Whatever, I'm sorry you have to deal with such a stupid person.screwdestinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777895976599010393noreply@blogger.com
