I have explained to Douglas the dangers of talking about me behind my back before.
(Several times) Anything is possible if I become a target. As has been done before.
It persisted anyway for a long time, until just few days before I decided to
engage by going into the 'lion's den' (where the audience is, previous harassers).
To this I was met with hostility.
Is my trying to convey a message to everyone that I am NOT a threat -
was that wrong? No. I absolutely had the right.
Should he have persisted like this with his friends with slander?
No. He should have cared for my well-being.
Which has proven to be incredibly hostile,
In retrospect, he must have been fighting me in his
mind many times, and the words shared with his friends were in-line to this hostility.
Am I misleading right now, just to get him in trouble?
Or have I actually been incrementally cornered like this, by group, initiated by Douglas?
Has something happened prior that triggered me to worry? (The stabbing threat)
Should he have cared more afterwards, knowing my fears?
Have I stated what can happen, and my fears to Douglas?
My approach to communication in the TV room? Completely polite, non-threatening.
To discuss.
One must remember that, this was many against one.
