They PM'd me song lyrics talking about how they were glad I'd been raped, as well as posting them publicly and starting a dedicated thread.
My tip when someone sends you PMs purely to offend you (I've even received one on this forum, well two but same person) is not to read them.
When they make a thread just to offend you, don't even visit it.
In real life when someone is sending insults your way you don't stay for the encore. You find ways to ignore it and move on.
I think a lot of people would be happier on the net if they could learn to just not fester when someone terrible this way comes. Too many people when depressed will just pour through all the hate as if they are trying to validate it somehow. The best part about the internet is that you have so many tools to filter it out, you just need to train yourself to use them.
Also no, not validating what they sent, your feelings, your actions, or anything else. That is just the only comment I really wanted to make.
I just don't like being bombarded with my former religion by everyone around me for two straight months.
Christmas is so BARELY religious now I once had my socks blown off by a Christmas special that actually mentioned Jesus existed!
I live in the South. You can't go anywhere without people decrying the "War on Christmas" and "Putting Christ back in Christmas". The really bad part are the more hardcore religious members of my extended family. We...don't exactly get along.
OHHH, that explains it.
Just treat it like a cultural thing. A completely separate culture. after all religion is a culture.
