#threatening behaviour

[hauntleep]

Hauntlees are generally very loyal to their Keepers. If you don't take good care of them, there can be problems, though.

I feel like m*n have figured out to use this script instinctively: If a woman gets mad/upset/confrontational I should just get angrier, look more threatening, start yelling and calling her hysterical, then she’ll be too scared and ashamed to continue being mad, and she’ll back down and act timid so I don’t attempt to injure her or admit her to a mental hospital. Things will always go my way if I do that.

The nastiness of some people scares me to death sometimes

I came home from work on Friday to find only one available parking space left in my road so I parked in it making sure it was correctly parked. Two hours later I come back to my car to go out and the neighbour comes out of his house and shouts "oi you cunt why the fuck are you parked in my space!". I was a little taken aback as I had never spoken to this guy before. I replied that the car was road legal and it was legally parked and he repeatedly asked "Are you trying to be fucking clever with me?". I once again stated calmly that I was legally parked and that he did not own the space. He gave me a second mouthful of abuse and then walked back staring saying "Nothing here and now mate nothing here and now but i'm telling you you need to watch your back from now on cos you might get hurt!" It is the first and only time that I have ever reported anyone to the police but I don't take kindly to being threatened outside my own home by someone I've never spoken to. The local PCSO came out on a bike and went into the neighbours house, I don't know or want to know what was said but at least the incident is flagged in case of future problems. I've lived in that road for 24 years and have a brilliant rapport with everyone but now leaving the house fills me with dread. I will not stand for his behaviour and will pursue it further if it happens again.

My father has been an alcoholic all my life and hes just getting worse and worse. Hes getting to the point where he starting to talk to himself like someones there. he called me a bitch. Another time my mother told me that he told her that "god told me to kill you" just today I went down stairs and there was a note he wrote that said "its time to kill the cats! ill do it!" the cats are fine. I told my mom but apparently its ok bc "hes drunk and doesn't mean it" Im just getting sick of it.

Oh my gosh, please stay safe! It might be an idea to find a friend or relative you trust that you could spend the night with if you need to. I’m really sorry that your mother isn’t taking it more seriously too, even if your father doesn’t mean to harm you physically, that kind of thing is terrible for your mental well being.

My father never threatened to kill anyone, but he does mutter to himself and he has said things like how he’s going to throw us all out and that type of thing, and he has acted threateningly toward our pets. So I have a small idea how stressful that is, and I feel for you.

It sounds like your father has a serious problem, and I’m really sorry you’re in this situation. Please stay safe, I’ll keep you in my thoughts and I wish you the best.

The Dark Side of Twitter.

Mark Millar ‏@mrmarkmillar

A vile loser called @MisterE2009 is making sexual threats to female comic artists online. Please report his abuse via my next tweet

Mark Millar ‏@mrmarkmillar

I'm so disgusted by this I'll pay for the prosecution to stop others copying. Can the pros attacked get his details from Twitter?

Mark Millar ‏@mrmarkmillar

Okay, I've got @misterE2009's details now. Here's what we're going to do to get him prosecuted for his attacks... http://forums.millarworld.tv/index.php?/topic/101484-female-pros-getting-sexual-threats-on-twitter/

@mrmarkmillar That guys has been hassling me for ages. Thanks, Mark.

We've also seen that alongside Pro-writers that female bloggers, some of whom are on Tumblr have been attacked too. If you have any legal qualifications in the USA and experience in this kind of thing, Mr Millar would like to hear from you.

Update.

Guy has been tracked down. Lives in California and is both married and middle aged. Don't go googling as you'll find innocent people. Leave in hands of cops now and any people he abused should get in touch with our board who can give yu direct line. Thanks to everyone for stomping on this quickly today. I'll keep you posted. MM
