I'm going to stray from my normal talking about Santiago to ask a question... not that I expect to get an answer from those of you who read this.
Why would someone post a malicious ad in Craigslist of me? I was told about two hours after it happened and got it deleted right away, but someone posted a hookup add saying terrible things about me, having personal information on it and including a picture of me from the Alabaster Blue (my a capella group) website.
I can only hope this is a random joke, but its not like it was posted in the middle of the night when someone might have been drunk that thought it would be funny, this was posted at 5:58 in the afternoon which implies to me that it was totally malicious and hoping to hurt me or slander me in the eyes of those who know me. I can see this working as a joke if I were straight and someone was just messing around, but since I'm gay, and this was on a sleazy gay hookup page, theres a chance that it could be seen as authentic.
Yesterday something painful happened, I'm not going to talk about it and it's not like anyone was physically hurt, but I'm so worried that this craigslist ad is some sort of retort to that... I hope not because it is so cruel. Please tell me its not.
If you find out let me know and I'll beat the ever living crap out of them. Hope you get to experience a World Cup Qualifier and the Celebrations that may occur if Chile clinches a spot in the Cup.
ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteIt is too easy to do bad things on the internet. I think your best way of persuading people not to believe lies about you, is just what you are doing -- being open and detailed about what you really are doing, about what you are thinking, about your wishes and hopes for the future. The more complete your picture of yourself is, the more incongruous information will be ignored.
