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 ❤️

I read some of it. it was clear he had unfounded issues with you and it was not nice reading its great you didn't respond as well and took a more mature approach to the situation.
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😁
Good for you Mr. Zee, ignore the parasites in life, be true to yourself, always love yourself and put yourself first. We love you and want to help keep you well.....Sending love and hugs, a cat lover....Sprinkle 1.....
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.
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'm sorry to here you've treated so badly but please believe this is not the usual behaviour of people in this group they are caring and helpful people all the best david 👍
Thank you David. That means a lot. I know he’s not the makeup of the populous of this group. Best to avoid him and keep moving forward. All my best to you. -MZ
I'm heartbroken to know that happened to you! But I am impressed by your quick thinking and attitude towards this bully. HUGS my friend! You deserve them.
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.
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.
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.
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💛
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” 🤭
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.
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?
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! ❤️
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.
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💛
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.
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. 🎸
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.
Thank you so much! I care deeply about the harmony of this site. Instead of engaging the bully, we banded together and reported him. There’s many of us here that cherish the safety of this site. Peace had been restored.
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.
That's so sad 😢. ANY negative feedback or bullying is bs. We're here to support each other, not critize. I'm sorry you had to deal with this. Huggsss sent!
Thank you for the encouraging words. ❤️. The good news is several of is reported this person to the Admin and they were banned from the group. Let’s hope that’s for good. And yes, this is a safe place for support.
