Peter,
I watched your latest episode. As usually, very well made and interesting.
You know how when you look at situation without emotion. Because it doesn't involve you, you sometimes see things that the participants in the spectacle don't see? I know you've probably been asked this many times, but it is possible that both you and the troll are obsessing over each other?
The troll of yours is viscous. That's for sure. I'd be worried. He looks like the kind of guy who has nothing to lose. Prison might be a blessing for him.
I would have to be in total denial to say I am not obsessed with the situation. I don't find myself interesting enough to obsess over, so someone else being
THIS obsessed with me is fascinating. The way this guy lives in constant misery, entirely of his own making, and does literally
NOTHING to help himself out of it - I can't look away, like a train-wreck. So yeah, without a doubt, this has become a snake eating it's own tail or a Moebius strip that never ends.
But for me, I've found a way to turn it into art, to make a documentary series about it (separate from the Vlogs) and that helps me feel less personal about the attacks. I don't really care about the insults, but when he tries to publicly and privately destroy my entire life by calling me a racist or a pedophile, that's a little different. Action has to be taken, like a defamation lawsuit. But as you notated - he has nothing to lose.
My hope is to see him get help and treatment, most likely via prison. There are already 4 warrants for his arrest, I have a Civil Stalking Protection Order in effect against him, and he was just found in contempt of court (
again).
