About cyberbullying

Haaaa, cyberbullies, expressing their stupid and vicious hatred. Here is a selection of what I received between Monday, April 14, and Thursday, April 24. These are just a few examples; I received about 350 messages in ten days, including another 50 this morning:

– You’re talking shit, you should disappear
– You’re spreading the woke virus like cancer
– I’ll find you when you least expect it, you won’t be able to escape me, and you’ll see what a real Gorean is!
– We’re going to get you banned from all Gor sims, you’ll have nowhere to go
– You don’t know it, but everyone hates you
– We know who you are, you’ll pay for this, stay hidden
– Feminist slut who needs to get fucked
– You should be ashamed of spreading lies
– You’re destroying the real Gor
– Soon it’ll be your turn to be deported like all the other woke people of your kind
– Shut up and disappear
– Someone should shut you up once and for all

And I’ll spare you the dick pics and YouTube videos of rape and violence against women, of course.

Now, I’m not talking to you, you hateful cyberbullies, of course, even though you obviously read my website and my articles. But why do you read them if you don’t like them? Do you enjoy hurting yourselves? Are you masochists? Do you have so much time on your hands? When I don’t like something, I generally don’t read it.

Are you on a crusade for your opinions? When I campaign, and yes, I do campaign as an anti-fascist, feminist, and LGBT+ humanist, with my membership card for humanist movements that you would unhesitatingly label as far-left (which is amusing, because for socialists, in the European sense of the term, I’m more of a moderate democrat), I write well-researched and sourced articles to defend my opinion. And while I may use colorful language, I don’t threaten anyone. I denounce abuses and dangers, and I defend a point of view, explaining why and providing facts to support my arguments.

If you are on a crusade for your opinions, which I can totally accept, then defend those opinions. Write, document, prove with facts and sources that your opinion is legitimate! No? Ha… no, indeed…

You prefer to hate and cyberbully. It’s easier. It requires less effort. It consumes less brain.

Okay, let’s get the record straight. The Gorean Archives are visited by an average of 130 people per day. About 60% are Americans, 30% are French speakers, and 10% are from the rest of the world (Germany, Sweden, Brazil, Japan…). Most readers come from internet searches or directly from Second Life or Primefeed, a minority from Facebook, and a small number from other websites that link to me. Each visitor reads an average of 3 articles on the website and stays for between 20 and 50 minutes, which, in conclusion, indicates that they come to get information. So, Gorean Archives is achieving its goal: to provide information about the world of Gor and role-playing in Gor Second Life.

You, who send me your friendly messages of hate, threats, and insults, represent about twenty email addresses in the latest wave of cyberbullying. These are fake addresses created for the occasion, of course. So how many of you are there? I would say a dozen at most, regularly attacking once you have created new email addresses.

You represent less than 0.3% of this site’s visitors over a month. You therefore carry no weight. That is what your hateful stance represents: nothing.

But of course, receiving hate messages regularly, sometimes every morning, for days on end, and deleting them and then adding your email addresses to the block list of my email account or the Gorean Archives website is tiring. It’s a chore.

And when I’m tired, sick—and I’m often sick—or in a bad mood, it’s a painful chore. Hate is painful to endure. But I always do exactly what I do: I delete everything and ignore it. Because of my professional and activist activities, I have already experienced much more serious and violent cyberbullying, with much more dramatic consequences. We’re talking about thousands and thousands of messages a day and repeated hacking and DDoS attempts, and I had to ask the judicial authorities to intervene. It ended badly for the dozen or so haters involved, because the Swiss judicial authorities have no sense of humor and the sentences were severe.

But I still ask myself the same question: if you are outraged by my opinions, my work, and what I write, why don’t you defend your opinions in the same way that I do, which you find so unbearable? Creating a blog in 2025 takes just a few clicks. Writing, researching, and expressing your views is something anyone can do. If you want to “win,” it’s the best medium there is.

But I know the answer, even if it’s absurd: you can’t. Because you know that your opinions and views would expose you to criticism and surely to the judgment of others, because you know they are indefensible. I don’t have that problem. It’s not that I think I’m right, it’s that I know that the way I express my opinions, which are well-researched and presented with perspective and moderation, means that if I receive criticism—and I do—it is always balanced and kind.

I am not right. I am not convinced that I am right. But I give my readers food for thought, and they thank me for it, whether or not it has changed their own opinion. Because I offer them other points of view and other angles of reflection, which feed their own thinking on the subject. And even when we disagree, or when I’m wrong, this approach provides a way to debate calmly and kindly.

In short, I do everything that you haters hate. And not only are you powerless against it, you’re also incompetent at doing anything about it. And you can’t stand it.
