I WISH TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE TO MANY OF YOU

As several of you know, a few days ago I was sent a scathing/bullying PM here on this site. Other than the words in the PM being utterly toxic and demeaning, I chose not to reply to the person. Instead I feel sorry for this person who projected their own inner turmoil on me. I knew right away to report a screenshot of the incredibly abusive PM to the group Admin.

With that said I express my heartfelt appreciation to so many of you that instantly have stood by my side and have expressed concern about my wellbeing after such an attack.

In common many of have you alluded to my remaining vigilant and not letting this person bring me down which is exactly the stance I take.

Thank you to the many here that care about me. I care about you too. You have my back and I have yours.

With Gratitude,

-MZ ❤️

Callmedanielle, I know you’re always there for me. And vice versa too. ❤️

I read it. I agree with you refusing to engage with it. It takes strength to stay moving forward and stay positive. I admire you and glad you are here😁

Please report them to Admin, MrZee, your well being is more important here than the rants of some demented troll.

Hi Jeff1943. That’s exactly what I did. I appreciate you’re caring about my well being. ❤️

This is my response to people who attack me and you may borrow it...… I would engage in a battle of wits with you, but I see you come unarmed.

MrZee in reply to sweetiepye

Thanks for caring sweetiepye. But I rather leave the person be. I’d rather dodge the rattlesnake and move on.

Dear @MrZee, well done on taking control of that situation instead of getting hooked in to the abuse. Of course, anything like that is unsettling but you have remembered your cheer squad here, and I have just joined it. :-)

MrZee in reply to NorwegianWood

NorwegianWood,

Thank you that means a lot. Sad there’s a troll in this group that’s harassing people who are working on bettering themselves. And welcome to the ‘cheer squad.’

If you seek an empathetic ear, I’m here for you too. ❤️

I was one of the people who defended you ... then the post was taken down, so I don't know if you saw any of that. But I'm glad your choosing to feel bad for that person, however, I have heard they are a repeat offender sadly, and there are a few people who pop on and off with different avatars’ to just mess with people, they happen to be one of them. So it's good you put up the screen shot, it may have saved a few others from being targeted.

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply to fauxartist

Thanks. Sadly though the person sent me another vulgar PM last night. As with the previous, I’m avoiding them. This person is a sick individual who’s battling inner demons. People like that in this world have nothing better to do other than to project and blame their own s—t on others. How utterly sad that is.

Enough said there. Thank you fauxartist for standing with by me. You have my support as well.

All my best,

-MZ

in reply to MrZee

I got a message too. Probably will again after posting this. I’ve have never done social media because I know it isn’t healthy for me and my anxiety but I am here for positivity, motivation and support. I feel the need to post here to take a stand and let everyone know we are safe here and I refuse to be intimidated for something I’m not even involved in. We must protect each other.

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply to

Thanks nc007. I don’t do any other Social Media other than this site.

Yes we are safe here. People like you and me are here to support each other and to lend credence to others that seek it.

Let’s avoid the bully(ies) and focus on our own growth and well-beings while being supportive of others.

You have the makings of a good friend. I sure appreciate that.

All my best,

-MZ ❤️

in reply to MrZee

I normally freeze and stay quiet when I feel anxious but I want to protect this special place I’ve found with so many others that understand my most secret struggles💛

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply to

nc007... we are protectors of each other and others on this site. I’m here for you to feel safe. Let’s continue to be vigilant and move forward. And please feel free to open any time. That’s what those of us here who empathetically care are here for.

Same here!!! No social media for me & find myself looking forward to friends and support on here. Though I still don’t know some of the inner workings of this site. For example...I thought that if I followed someone, I’d be notified if they posted a new thread. But I don’t 😒 I wanted to see your pretty battery heart craft....and I did (I just had to go looking for it). What am I doing wrong? P.S. I also have some fear of getting “catfished” 🤭

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply to courageovercomfort

Hi... I’m still trying to figure out the navigation on here. For now, just know that you’re amongst friends who support one another.

As for the the “catfishing,” your fear is real. This is the Internet. Anyone can assume any hidden identity. Though the best I can say there is I’m 100% safe. I find it immature and sick in a way if anyone is going to waste their and other people’s time pretending that they’re someone else. Oh so sad there.

Please do know there’s many on this site that are quite real and are here to be supportive.

All my best,

-MZ 💖

Sad to hear this, stay strong, others like myself are here for you.

Sometimes I'm quick to defend myself and can be vulnerable but reading MrZee and his experience I will know better. I really admire his actions.

Great that there are so many good people with kind hearts on here.

Love and best wishes x

in reply to MrZee

I think he may be gone. His PM disappeared from my messages and I no longer see his profile. No more PMs for me either. I think us standing to protect each other worked?

MrZee profile image
MrZee in reply to

Yes it did. His PMs are also gone from my list. So it goes to show that protecting each other works. I’m so glad we banded together. Now that’s one good thing that friends are for! ❤️

in reply to MrZee

Just one of many things💛...thanks to all who stood together💪🏼

Absolutely and HAPPY MONDAY!! I believe in that. Could you feel the emphasis?? 🤪😂😂

MrZee in reply to

MrZee profile image
MrZee

Yes sad. And last night he sent me another vulgar PM which of course I’m avoiding. I’ve written the Admin again and am awaiting a reply. Anyway this toxic individual is fighting his own demons and blaming healthy individuals around him for his shortcomings in life.

Enough said there. I appreciate your looking out for me. And in return I’m her to support you as well.

Best,

MZ ❤️

Hi Anna2008. I’ve reported the person and their vulgar PM’s to the Admin. I’m awaiting the Admin to take action.

Thank you for the concern ❤️

Hi Scrumbler,

Let’s stick together. Don’t let him chase us off this site. Please know that I’m here to help keep you feeling safe.

I can see the awareness of this sick person is growing with many others on here and we’re banding together to bring him down.

Stay with us, we’ll be fine. Let’s be vigilant together. ❤️

MrZee profile image
MrZee

No I didn’t take it down. Someone reported it. That’s all I know. As for the second one he sent, I don’t think you’d want to see it... it’s quite vulgar. Sheesh, how sad.

I am proud how we can all stand together. I don’t know any of you in life but I feel protected here💛

MrZee profile image
MrZee

Yes, that’s exactly what I did to report them. But let’s remain to stick together. Don’t engage the bully report them.

Aside from that, we’re here to help support one another with our Mental Health healing and growth. 🤗❤️

guitarguy in reply to MrZee

I didn’t see any of the offending IM’s or posts. However having been a moderator of three different and often times toxic guitar related forums I can say that you you did was exactly right. What you may not know is that there’s likely quite a bit of action and discussion taking place. It always seems slow but I’d bet there will be some results. I’ve never seen a better moderated forum than this. Especially given it’s size. I’m confident that it will be addressed. It’s very difficult with trolls like this though for reasons I won’t delineate here because I don’t want to give any trade secrets out. Time will tell. Just don’t let him feed off of ANY response. Don’t give them the attention they seek.

Carry on! 😁

Thank you Dave. That’s exactly my action or non-action: avoid the bully. Report their vulgar posts and be done with it. This is a site where we need to feel safe and not intimidated.

Glad to know you’ve been a moderator before. Sorry you also had to experience toxic Internet cowards in the past. However, they’re to be avoided as we continue to move forward. 🎸

Hi mrZee.

Good for you handling it that way! I missed it, though so am in the dark re this. I hope it does not happen again but sounds like it probably will.

We will always help one another so maybe they will give it up in defeat.

Thanks for posting and for of course sticking around.

MrZee in reply to Poodie

My pleasure Poodie. Sad there’s people like that out there that bully others online. Still, by avoiding them is the best medicine.

I’m glad to be here and hope you are too.

This is a great place for support.

Very distressed to read this post and warmed by the support you received and proud of your strength to stand up for yourself.

I understand the motivation and integrity of strength that must have taken.

I feel inspired that this site is embracing your positive thoughts and actions. Just wanted to communicate to thank you for sharing and celebrate your resilience, that at times we all lack and desire.

Best wishes

I loved your reply and feel the same about the kindness and support I've received. It's so sad a minority has to spoil it, as for many isolated people this support has been invaluable and only way of getting the help and support they need.

I admire your strength of character.
