He likely has no friends in real life, quite probably little influence over his rich in-laws (if they even exist) and certainly little comprehension or empathy. He is prepared to blow up the joint and harass another poster to the point of despair, to get his way.

He thinks he is just doing “business” protecting his family investments, but that is just cover for someone who hasn’t grown up yet and behaves like a petulant child.

Well one thing I’ve learned, he will not change his ways or adjust his behaviour due to any social (HC) pressure.

Unfortunately anonymous online forums/social media platforms attract these misfits who can keep talking and harassing when they would ordinarily be shut down or ostracised in a normal social setting.

The danger is the more time you spend online with these people the more you get dragged into the dysfunctional vortex.

Thanks Sam for your views, which have always been valuable, and I hope you can return soon.
