ArucariaBallerina Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 @Harwel I'm so sorry that that happened to you, you have always been 100% calm, polite and respectful. Such evil words say more about the person saying them than the person they are directed at. I do hope you're okay xx 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeliB Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Well, and my apologies if I inadvertently fuelled the fire by commenting further... I'm really astonished that anyone would get so aggressive over something so trivial - but as you commented Harwel this says more about the state of mind of this person than anything to do with the conversation we were having - and s(he) is clearly to be pitied. That said, I would feel quite uncomfortable if this vitriol had been directed at me, no matter how absurd and deranged it was, so sending my sympathy... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa O`Brien Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Harwel, i'm so sorry for the hideous message you received. Hope you're able to put it to the back of your mind. You're a fantastic Balletco Forum member, so don't ever forget that xx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrothbart Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I can only second Lisa's thoughts Harwel, no one should have to put up with that, shocking. Edited October 6, 2018 by Vonrothbart 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legseleven Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Harwel, I’m so very sorry you received such a repellent and hate-filled PM! Sending you virtual hugs and hoping that you can put it out of your mind xx 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately tensions can run high over certain things... even among 'respectable' and learned members of the forum ( although not The Learned ones) ... but the individual in question appears just to be a troll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiz Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think it’s the same troll that has appeared under two other guises in the past couple of years - “Livia” and “Pro Ballet Dancer”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiz Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I came across somebody very like these/this poster(s) on Twitter a few years ago. She claimed to be a professional dancer but isn’t and when she was caught out - not by me although I didn’t believe her - she became equally vilely abusive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I remember a few of the posts from ‘pro ballet dancer’, very similar tone. Gosh I hope it is the same one and not multiple equally disturbed posters!
