In my post on 10 Tips For a Better Blogging Experience I mention ways to Share, give credit, etc. These are all great things to pay attention to. But what do you do when a follower gets a little out of hand?
Way back when, I started this blog all over again from scratch! I was foolish enough to give a man I was dating the link so he could see some of my writing. He became a stalker! I ended up completely deleting my blog. It was a hard lesson to learn.
I’m not having that kind of issue now, but this person have really stepped beyond the usual bounds of social etiquette.
Have you ever had a follower make you feel uncomfortable? What did you do?
Go ahead, make my day. :) Share, push a button or two!

I’ve had a few trolls leave nasty comments on my blog, not just for me but aimed at other bloggers as well. As I moderate all comments before they appear on my blog, they don’t end up in the comments section of my blog, and I never respond to any of those comments. I mark them all as spam and then delete them from the spam folder. ‘Don’t feed the trolls’ is a saying I’ve heard said many times around the blogging world.

Yeah, I have this guy who’s really creepy about my blog. He digs up posts that I delete, talks about me and my blog in a disparaging manner on his blog and social media sites, links other people to my blog, comments and trolls on my blog under fake identities and claims he’s filed a police report against me over things that were said on my blog. I filed a police report on him. WordPress doesn’t give an option for blocking people.
