Okay, rather than continue to rant about it, I'm going to ask you guys. Am I the aѕshole?

For those who don't know, and try to avoid the drama that sometimes gets extraordinarily public, someone who shall remain nameless used one of my more commonly used pictures, only they changed what I'm saying in it to something insulting. I got mad, partly because I spent a long time designing the character I use as my profile picture, and partly because of my past experience on Yahoo! Answers battling a constant army of clone accounts, all owned by one stalker who couldn't stop obsessing over destroying me.

Anyway, the thief got mad at me calling her theft what it is, and started publicly making fun of me for being upset about it. I doubled down and told her to get rid of the picture or I would, via the admins. She is still mocking me even now, sharing messages I wrote her using strong language to describe what she is doing.

Tbh you seem to be super immature like why are you so invested in drama on an anonymous website as a 50 year old man?

@SW-User Why does everybody assume I'm 50? Quit making me older than I am. 😆

Honestly, though, that's one of my sore spots: people taking pictures I put real effort into and repurposing them. As I said in the body of the post, it's because I had an online stalker for a while, and I guess it's weird that I now have a life in which that person isn't an unwanted part. So when somebody does something similar to what the stalker used to do, I respond the same way I did. And the other person involved in this is telling everybody what a piece of shit I am for getting mad about it. So I'm asking.

@LordShadowfire i understand your point but i see these kind of posts from you often where you seem so troubled by online drama, like what value does it add to your life? Bc it reminds me of how teenagers react to snapchat drama

@SW-User I don't know. It's just some of the beliefs on which I base my life, I consider to be set in stone, and I really just can't seem to let it go when someone doesn't share them, and makes fun of me for having them. Hell, maybe I should journal about this for my anger management class. It's obvious she's not going to acknowledge that what she did is objectively worse than a little name-calling.

@LordShadowfire anger management classes over an online stranger? Good luck but you got more issues than vogue

@SW-User Anger management classes are actually because of a confrontation I had in real life. But I guess if you think it's no big deal, I need to rethink how I'm framing the theft in my mind.
