I hope that people who were interested in that story last night were able to find it; it was in the news in Vermont when it happened.
--If I put pictures online of harassment that's taken place in the past few months, by businesses or individuals that have since changed what they're doing, it's not because I hold a grudge; it's because the fact that the harassment happened and is still happening is a big deal and it's important to document it so that it ends and doesn't impact our society or other societies anymore than it already has.
Maybe people don't realize the extent to which I have at times felt overwhelmed by what's been going on; it's awful to walk out the door or turn on the TV or radio, pick up a magazine or do anything online and be immediately faced with 100 different versions of the harassment. It's still difficult for me to understand how as many people and businesses as have been involved exhibit no conscience about the issue. How do people who consider themselves reasonable and ethical justify contributing to a worldwide conspiracy to call me horrible names, endanger children and degrade women and everyone who respects women?
The other day when I was walking home, I asked myself if I do feel humiliated by what's been happening, and the truthful answer was no, I don't. I don't feel any more humiliated by it than I would if I were walking down the street and the proverbial men by the side of the road or in a car started yelling gross things at me. If the kinds of things that have been getting insinuated about me by The Harassment were being yelled at me in public from across the street, every healthy person who witnessed what was happening would think ill of the people who were yelling those things and wouldn't think ill of me for the fact that it had happened.
As I've said, for me the issue is the impact on my quality of life, the extent to which it endangers me or might keep me from doing things that I want to do and have a right to do. The other day I made a purchase at a convenience store, and as soon as I'd paid, the cashier who I think was also the manager of the store made a fish comment. He's an older man, probably in his 50's, and he obviously had been waiting for me to show up in his store so that he could make his comment. I couldn't count the number of times in the past few months that something like that has happened. It hasn't just been older men who have done it, although an almost identical incident happened at a convenience store on the other side of town several weeks ago. Women of all ages have done it, young men have done it; standards of behavior for people have deteoriated exponentially every day since the government became a part of the harassment, and I'm sure that I'm not the only person who has been affected by it.
There's no reason why I or anybody else should be going through this.

I've started going through some of the pictures that I took and never downloaded to my computer from my camera. I happened to find these two pictures of an ad that someone sent to my Friendster profile on September 21, 2010.
I've also taken a couple of pictures of my computer showing these pictures, because you can see the date and time that they were taken.

Disney ad that someone sent to my Friendster profile on September 21, 2010
I'm REALLY tired of people being as mean about me as they have been. They seem to think that they are entitled to be as abusive as they feel like being at any given time. It doesn't seem to me that they have any plans to quit.
These aren't unfriendly ads, and whoever sent them to me doesn't have the right to be abusive about me no matter what, but ESPECIALLY such a person isn't being reasonable to be abusive in public and then sending me ads like this in private. I guess I should say "sort've private," because I have no privacy on my Friendster profile; it's been hacked by people for probably more than a year by people who became public harassers of me.
I've had more than one e-mail address for which I used a made-up name; I thought that was safer than using my real name or most of my real information. You can see one of those e-mail addresses in this picture of my Friendster profile; there's no question that it was hacked, too, like every other e-mail address that I had before it.
PLEASE STOP INVADING MY PRIVACY.
PLEASE STOP CALLING ME VAGINA NAMES, OTHER KINDS OF DISGUSTING NAMES, AND MAKING DISGUSTING INSINUATIONS ABOUE ME; YOU NEVER HAD ANY RIGHT OR REASON TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND IT'S GONE ON FOR WAY TOO LONG. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE.

"Persian" ad that somebody sent to my Friendster profile on October 6, 2010. At the time that this ad was sent to me, I had put up pictures on Friendster that I had taken in a place that had seemed to be encouraging not only of the harassment but of the pedophilia also; that's what's in the pictures next to the "Persian" ad.
The last four pictures in the slideshow show the date and time that the first two pictures were taken.
