The last few days have been most interesting. Watching the internet trolls stalk each other, the wannabe's doing their pretendy thing and the Masters/Mistresses of Vitriol post up loads of cr*p minute after minute has been most illuminating. Let us, through a glass darkly, take a look at what has been, and still is, going on. This is a kind of recap on the last Take in that it carries on from the abuse section in there. First, for those who may not know the ins and outs of this, we have a book written about how a troll claimed to have been abused while in care. She has made, and in fact continues to make, accusations against the home and the staff. This all happened, it seem, at least 50 years ago; many of the 'abusers' are probably dead or in OAP homes. This has been going on for some time, but a couple of days ago, there appeared online a series of posts rebutting her claims from inmates of the home at the time she claimed she was ill-treated. Further tweets and postings reveal the true nature of these claims - money. Are we surprised? Not in the slightest, as it has become the 'in thing' to claim abuse, sexual or physical, and then demand monetary compensation. Reading between the lines, one gets the distinct feeling that the author is deeply jealous of the mother of a small missing child whose book about her daughter and how her disappearance has affected the family, shot into the best sellers a few days after being published. And where is Moaning Minnie's book? Way, way down the Amazon list, at 1,342,188. The mother's book is at 22,454. Says it all, really.
And now, the 'celebrity international journalist' - what of her? Well, she seems to have totally lost it. Between a long, rambling and somewhat boring open letter to a senior police officer, she has also been tweeting away, screeching and threatening all and sundry. She also did a stint on Sky, which causes screams of outrage over her associating with the people who, it is claimed, 'outed' a troll a few weeks ago. And to top it all, she admitted she had doorstepped the mother of a missing child, which shows what a low-life she is. It was alright for her to harass the mother of a missing child, but NOT alright for a Sky journalist to do the same - though he did not do any such thing, as the troll he wanted to talk to had actually contacted him FIRST. This fact, of course, the 'celebrity journo' has deliberately ignored, despite the tweets showing who contacted who first. I see from various tweets and messages that she has also managed to alienate a hell of a lot of people who are now gunning for her. We will, of course, make sure that you, Dear Readers, are kept well informed of anything that transpires, so get the popcorn and drinks ready.
