**UPDATE TO THE UPDATE** (Yes, I am just like Greenwald. And it feels dirty.)
A dear friend has told me she’s started receiving abusive emails from @Beccay2. Nice. The best way to prove you’re not an unstable nutcase is by piling on more nuts when you get called out. Seriously, just fucking fuck you @Beccay2.
**UPDATE**
Still believe @Beccay2 is “kind” and just misunderstood? Still don’t think she’s been an explicit participant in smear campaigns?
Here are some tweets @Beccay2 sent when she decided @My1BlueEye had wronged her after he pointed out that she had betrayed his confidence:
“@ssfw70 Im so sorry… Watch out on twitter, 2. Some pretend to be decent then they turn into nasty pervs!” [screenshot]
“@xspook2 aren’t you a guy? Yes, I see you are, James.. YOu don’t have to worry because you ARE a guy… It’s only women he pervs on.” [screenshot]
“This troll keeps badmouthing me it will end badly for him. I’m a patient woman, but I do have my limits. #cantbekindtohimeveragain” [screenshot]
“Thr’s only one person I hate more than my ex son in law. he’s on twitter n he’s a huge phoney baloney. Many r on 2 him..many will learn.” [screenshot]
See how she does it? Just planting the seeds, and pretending she’s spreading the word out of concern for others. Pretending she knows more than she does. @Beccay2 smears people constantly, and this is exactly what she’s been doing (and continues to do) to @Shoq.
Here is an email @ZoeyGirlz received from @Beccay2 after Zoey made the decision to no longer be silent about @Beccay2’s attacks on people:
Charming, no? *smh* What a disgusting human being. With friends like these…you know the rest.
**ORIGINAL POST**
Yes, I’m taking a break from Twitter. No, I’m not quitting foreverandeverandever. I’ll be back when I’m back. Trust me, you’ll survive.
Those of you who pay attention will know that I am often attacked simply for knowing and defending @Shoq. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been called a sockpuppet (or a Shoqpuppet if you’re *really* clever – eleventy internets to you!) Look, this is life. You can’t please all of the people all of the time. Some don’t like @Shoq for his style, others don’t like him because there’s a persistent group of bitchasses online who make it their business to spread the story that he “bullies and harasses #p2 women”. Interestingly enough, whenever you ask for evidence of this accusation, the assholes making it quickly accuse you of being a Shoqpuppet (eleventy internets, you clever fuck!), or they protect their tweets, or suddenly they forget how to type.
For the most part, I ignore these dumb shits. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re going to make up falsehoods like that about someone, you’re shit stuck to gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe. Although for the record, it would be nice if some of you would actually bother to ask the accuser for evidence when you hear them spread this bullshit. You know – like you’d want others to do for you if the lie was being told about YOU. “So-and-so said @Shoq bullies them” is *not* evidence of shit – it’s a fucking smear campaign. Nothing more, nothing less.
Here’s a novel concept: if you don’t like someone, just say you don’t like them. You don’t have to attach an accusation of a serious crime to your position just to make yourself feel better. I know, right? Genius!
I don’t like plenty of people on Twitter. I’m upfront about it. If they ask me why, I’ll tell them. If they don’t, I won’t. I unfollowed @Beccay2 (formerly known as @Rebeccay) about a month ago because I learned she was being one way to @Shoq’s face, and another way behind his back. I don’t want friends like that. It’s creepy, dishonest behavior. I unfollowed quietly, I didn’t make a big deal out of it. But, as I’ve come to know is typical of @Beccay2’s passive aggressive nature, she tweeted me and called my unfollow out as some kind of “TweetDeck error”. I told her I unfollowed intentionally, and I gave her a hint as to why – one that only she would understand. Well, fuck. Apparently you can’t just expect to unfollow @Beccay2 and walk away.
@Beccay2 bleated about how “hurt” she was that I’d unfollowed her, because we were such good friends. WTF? We have exchanged tweets and some DMs, but we’re hardly good friends. I don’t know her like that, and she certainly doesn’t know me like that. What followed was an ugly spat that unfortunately dragged in a couple of other friends. Finally, she deleted her @Rebeccay account and resurfaced using her backup @Beccay2 account.
@Beccay2 has spent the last month or so tweeting endlessly about “nasties” on the left (and how kind and uniting she is…*cough*). She would lament her lost “friends” and trumpet her courage at “speaking out” against the big bad bullies. It feeds into the narrative that she’s such a poor victim, you see. Aren’t you glad you have this warrior on your side?
I’ve watched @Beccay2 work this game on a couple of other people. There’s no need to drag their names into it, but with their permission, I will point to them if they want me to. In addition to manipulative assholes like @Beccay2, I’ve had other psychos on my tail. One popped up in January, and another in April. They each have an unhealthy level of obsession with both myself and @Shoq, and for the most part I’ve ignored them. Occasionally, they’ll get RTd into my stream by assholes who seem to think this type of thing is okay.
It’s no surprise that these psychos have attracted followers like [@PainterlyOne @PaintsLegends @PaintsLegend @NadiaPaints @Nadia_Paints @LaPinteraBruja @Dzoowanakwa @Nadia_Arts @LaPaintesse @LaBohemeBrun @NameTheNadia @NadiaDeParis - seriously...all these name changes happened in one afternoon/evening, it's a 'game' to her now - total cray cray, and she just keeps providing ammo] @PainterlyOne (again) let’s just call her @Cray_Cray (whose stream is littered with obsessive tweets about both @Shoq and his Shoqpuppets – eleventy internets, moron!), but here’s what really pissed me off:
@Beccay2 – you know, Miss Super Kind-Peace-Love-And-Unity – decided she’d give @2Deforcer2 a hearty #FollowFriday endorsement.
Oh, but you guys it’s okay because @Beccay2 didn’t really know what @2Deforcer2 was all about, see?
BULLSHIT.
This is just one more of her lies. You want to know how I know? Because the troll’s timeline was exactly the reason she decided to follow in the first place.
So can we stop pretending like that disingenuous fraud is just a victim in all of this? She’s a fakeass. She’s a liar. She’s a hypocrite. If you don’t like my assessment of her, unfollow me. This isn’t “bullying” – this is calling her out on her behavior. If she’s going to endorse accounts that have been set up purely to harass others, she can go fuck herself and I will not apologize for it.
@Beccay2 has done this kind of crap before. She acts like a prick, then apologizes and tries to rationalize her behavior, then she does it again. I’m not the only one who has seen it. I don’t need her brand of bullshit in my life. If you don’t like me, that’s your choice. I’m not going to bother you about it. But if you promote and fraternize with accounts designed to harass me? You bet your fucking ass I’m going to say something – I don’t give a shit if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
These accounts thrive because of people sitting back and letting it happen. They either don’t care because it’s not happening to them, or they do care but they don’t want to become targets themselves. Whether it’s the former, or the latter: fuck you. These psychos happen because WE LET THEM HAPPEN. Assholes like @Beccay2 let them happen because she doesn’t mind letting others do her dirty work. It allows her to continue along her merry way, acting like she’s Miss Congeniality.
Fuck you, @Beccay2. The game is up.
p.s. Friends, thank you for the kind DMs. I’ll respond whenever. Besides pulling URLs for this post, I’m staying away. I don’t need the fucking angst.
p.p.s. I just can’t imagine why this person would RT this particular tweet from @Beccay2. Oh, wait. Yes I can. Time to move on, much? XOXO! Hugs! #ack
