Last
night before turning everything off, and heading down the hallway to bed … I
thought I’d clear out my email inbox.
I never expected to be cyberbullied.
The first bullying email kinda
confused me, because it didn’t make sense – I blew it off as a misunderstanding.
The email that piggybacked
on the first, had my eyebrows going up; not only was I being castigated for a
misunderstanding on her part: but now my character (which this particular host
knows absolutely nothing about) was being openly attacked, and she was raking
me over the coals for Party Host Fees (which I have no control whatsoever,
over). Of all the unmitigated nerve!

Hi- Can you tell me how your entry at my party was appropriate?

Deleted your entry. No excuse for not reading the rules but I suppose you’re a typical blog party linker, you drop your link and run, don’t read the rules and don’t even bother to say thanks for histing. Very rude! Contrary to what most party attendees think, hosting a party with InLinkz is not free. I am grandfathered in to the lowest fee but lots of party hosts pay $7.99 to $17.99 a month.

I replied as kindly as I could; given the
circumstances: and went to bed shaking my head …

I find your whole
attitude to be out of line, and I find you to be a very rude person; and there
is NO excuse for rudeness. If the fees upset you, stop hosting. Problem solved.}}
The next day, there was another email from her.
It was very clear to me
that I’m dealing with an unhinged person suffering from behavioral issues –
‘grammy’ had gone off her meds; and is careening out of control on The Crazy
Train.
Again, I tried
to reason with her: ending my reply post by telling her not to contact me
again. I was done dealing with
her.

I
find dropping a link and running to be out of line and rude. I should have let
your silly post remain on the healthy recipes party so that other bloggers
could see how ignorant you were to link up a non-recipe post!! Fees must upset
you because you’re using Google’s free website builder Blogspot. My blog costs
me more than you could possibly imagine and my extremely low InLinkz fee is
hardly nothing. However, I don’t host parties to promte people like you!!! And,
there is no reason you could not leave a comment unless you’re too dumb to know
how!!

All you had to do was delete the post - instead you went ballistic and ran your mouth in overtime.
As I said ... I am sorry you are furious. And, as I stated last night: you are an extremely rude and obnoxious person. Please DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN.}}
I got home from volunteer work this afternoon … and wouldn’t you know it … she had decided to intensify her ridiculousness.

At this point, I
just burst out laughing: what else is there to do when dealing with a person
who has clearly had a break with reality?
I don’t get
angry with ridiculousness anymore:
life is too short, and time can be utilized much better – crazy ‘grammy’ is
not worth another second of my precious time: I’ll simply delete any
further emails from her … yesterday, I deleted her Blog Hop link
from my Monday – Sunday Linkie Parties, party hops.
I’ve been actively
involved in Blog Hops for 14 years, and I’ve never experienced anything like
this before. I enjoy
the Hops; I’ve met some real nice people along the Hopping trail … the participants
(hosts and link posters) are generally fun-loving people that like to
share parts of their lives with others (homesteading, crafting, designing,
reading materials, recipes, travel, camera shots, ect.): ‘grammy’s
behavior certainly is NOT how 99% of Blog Hop Hosts behave.
I’ve posted thousands of
posts to ‘grammy’s Blog Hops over the past 14 years – and have enjoyed
interaction with her; but I am not enjoying the recent interactions.
Maybe ‘grammy’
is having dementia moments: she is certainly behaving like she is demented!
There was no need for all her
drama: simply, and quietly, deleting the post should have been enough –
like any sane person would do.
If I receive another flaming email … I'll return it to her unopened, unanswered – and continue to do so as long as she keeps pestering me with her immature bully tactics. Maybe the back-to-back returns will stop her frantic insane actions.
I am not responsible for her crazy behavior.
I am not responsible for InLinkz monthly fees.
I am not responsible for responding to her
baits.
I am responsible for me.
And I’m
rerouting the rails I travel
– ‘grammys’ Crazy Train does not get to share my space anymore π
