@ramsey Oh there was also another guy who didn't like the manner in which I shared my knowledge, so he went to harass me on every social media as he got blocked, then actually attended an event I was speaking at abroad and tried to approach me. Luckily I let my friends know in advance that the asshole lived in Berlin. They got up from the couch and he ran off. It's insane to me when someone tells me I need to be more polite to such people. This is not an isolated incident.
@ramsey I also have friends who got contacted via social media by drunk perverts with colorful advances and other scary sh*t. I seriously envy people who had the kind of safe life where they feel like they can talk to people before blocking them, and not fear escalation or retaliation in real life.
