Stressful days just fly by don't they?
I've had one of those days where the stress level has been so high that I've totally forgotten to eat anything at all.
I don't need to buy diet pills when I'm just a huge ball of stress, I completely forget to eat!
Why have I been so stressed out today?
Because a nosy busybody has been reading my blog and taking extremely innocent posts that I've written, and totally twisted them around to hurt a family member.
I had to stop this from happening, so I spent a better part of the day learning how to block an entire range of ip addresses using .htaccess.
I can't go into any details just in case I didn't do the .htaccess right, I won't know for a few days I suppose, I'll have to watch my stats and see if the person is still getting through, but I do know that blocking that whole range has blocked someone else out.
But it was the only way that I could do it, and I hope that the other person will understand.
Nasty, cruel people bother me, and this has had me so upset today, a totally innocent post, not having anything to do with anyone at all, was twisted around so maliciously, and intently, to hurt someone close to me.
My family member understands that this is my blog, my place to write and vent, share the good and the bad, they don't want me to change anything at all that I do here, so I had to find a way to stop this vile person, and I so hope that it works, I really do, because the thought of them reading any more of my posts and using them against anyone else, or taking any more innocent stories and twisting them around to become horrible and terribly untrue stories, makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm so sick and stressed over this I couldn't eat if I wanted to right now.
Just please let it work.

Sorry you had to do this, I recently had to do this as well. And frankly to the point of taking my stuff and threatening someone close to me, and sorry...I am not about to change my ways either. So the best thing to do, is just block em. BUT found out someone is using a IP blocker site, so it bounces around to all kinds of countries. Now if I can figure out how to stop that...I am going to do that.
I am going to email you too.

I was reading what Christie said, and she's right; sometimes it may be difficult to block them, but based on what you described, it should work, Kat, if you executed it correctly. And like you said, you'll know that soon enough.
I am sorry you are having to go through this. But in the end, it's your blog and you have to do what you have to do. That other person will hopefully understand!

Gah. Why can't people just mind their own business? I mean, I get plenty nosy about stuff, too, but it's never with the intention to hurt anyone or cause trouble.
I hope you were able to stop the offender.
I'm the exact opposite with stress.....it actually makes me hungry. How I WISH it were the other way around!
