I am a massive fan of your fiction and would support and respect whatever decision you made about your future writing. I think that's the thing that's missing a lot of the time in this, its the respect. People may not like what you do (i personally love it), but they should accord both you and your family the respect you deserve and the privacy it should afford you all. I hope you do what will make you happy and would like to say thank you for all you've done previously. I hope you do keep writingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921401827910761393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058415924232091761.post-36513112876994709872014-02-07T03:34:13.221+00:002014-02-07T03:34:13.221+00:00Hydra, don't worry!

Even if he does, I don't really see how it can actually harm you. Your writing is fantasy fiction more than standard erotica, let alone porn; and erotica is very mainstream these days.

Also, someone at the paper has already done a clean-up job and removed the comments entirely - presumably to cover their own writer. This is good as at least someone recognised the illegality. I hope nothing further will be required, but it's good to have options at hand if our unpleasant little friend escalates to further foolishness.M.E.

They lost their shit and accused me of being a stalker amongst other things (I've followed their column for about 2 yrs because it's rare for sf/horror to get any coverage in msm press). Attempting to contact them would lend weight to this accusation. The correct thing for me to do is to ignore them entirely. Unfortunately, this allows them to use their influence to trash my name amongst their friends in the sf community with impunity. Not much I can do about this. I've already decided that community is toxic and best avoided anyway. It wasn't like I was ever going to get nominated for any awards! :)M.E.

Whatever the case, I do agree that family and friends come first. Though I'm conflicted in that your present actions are saying that it's okay to let him manipulate you and others. I'd personally message him in a couple days, get a clear picture, and figure out your options then- such as a cease and desist if viable. That said, every fiber in my being wishes he/she'd realize what they are doing, and if they continue on that they get obliterated for it.

For example, if you hack into their email or social media accounts – that’s illegal, if you manage to somehow find out information about them that’s not available to the public, also illegal."Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191492713933826321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058415924232091761.post-13160040531231261432014-02-04T03:01:25.650+00:002014-02-04T03:01:25.650+00:00I think this actually is illegal.
