A very dear friend of mine was attacked today.
I'm not sure what to think about this because I'm so mad that I would like nothing less than to repay this person in kind and in full. And in spades.
Even if a shovel would be more efficient.
My friend, who I'll call 'Dot', was in a relationship for nearly a year. Dot is a person with an astonishing mind. The beauty of a fractal, able to be understood by the Mathematician and the Artist yet able to mystify and dazzle with the elegance of the math to the Artist and the colours and textures to the mathematician.
Dot's relationship was with one I'll call 'Brown' The love of Dot's life, and she's had a rough one at that. Dot was beginning to emotionally and mentally recover from a lifetime of pain and abuse (These are not my stories to tell but do take it from someone that knew her in person that what I said just above is not a trite exaggeration. I can't express what I came to understand without the regrettable use of 'wangst' language and for that I must apologize.)
Then along comes someone I'll call 'Mary Sue' (Yes, Dot is a lesbian. If this offends you, you have the right to be offended and I have the right to tell you to get away from my page and don't bother telling me about it. Now that we understand each other the rest of us can continue: ) Mary Sue also benefited from Dot's love and wisdom, but, well watch this for a moment and then I'll continue:
Dot was the one holding the feather. Mary Sue, of course, is the cat. When she noticed Dot was behind something that was helping her better herself, she accused Dot of manipulating her. Also Brown was ill, and still is (It's permanent) which makes what Mary Sue did even more deplorable. She turned around and manipulated everyone in Dot's life toward hating Dot. Mary Sue is not clever but she is brilliant and it did work. Suffice it to say Dot is the sort of person you either admire or despise. Dot is an expert profiler and uses what she learns to guide people toward their potential.
This is a frightening prospect to most, you'll agree, but the results do not lie. I've seen what happens for those she finds worth the love and support., those that can get past the fear and the knee-jerk responses.
Anyway, this had happened after I had physically parted ways with Dot. She had been a room mate for some time. I found her by chance six months ago or so and she was still trying to recover from the shitstorm that Mary Sue created. There's entire physical cities Dot will not visit and there's entire interest groups that she can't join because Mary Sue will slander her even today. Brown, being ill, was easily convinced of Dot's so called treachery. She'll go to her grave thinking that the person that ripped her love away from her really cares, while honestly I feel that Brown is nothing more than a trophy to Mary Sue, who only wanted to hurt Dot. Because Dot would readily see that very fact.
Do we understand the serious depth of this bullshit yet?
So it's been a full year almost to the day.
A
Year.
A year after Mary Sue's pyrrhic victory, an IP that Dot recognized immediately was the origin of an attack on Dot's Facebook and Google accounts. Dot's heart and soul, her blog (If you could profile people as easily as Dot you probably wouldn't want to go out too often: Too much ugliness inside of too many people, too easy to see.) which was a major source of safe social contact for her, was utterly deleted.
Such wonderful thoughts and feelings just taken away. Google's not doing a fucking thing to help, either. Someone exploited their weakness and they're not even batting an eye.
I digress. These attacks were of course carried out by Mary Sue.
Fucking petty nonsense. Petty but hurtful as any glandular blunt-force trauma. Damaging in ways that Mary Sue knew all too well.
She can profile too, you see.
She knew right where to hit Dot to hurt her the most.
Never fear, though. Dot is recovering and well on her way to bigger and better things.
Thank you for letting me rant about my broken self and my broken friends.
