      Stop and think here. Who are you that makes you so important that someone is going to put that level of effort into harassing you? That kind of effort carries a relatively high cost in time, and in the opportunity cost of that time, which cannot be used for other pursuits.

      Sure, gaslighting is a real thing that can happen. But it requires the target to be a more-or-less captive audience. Think domestic violence, employer-employee relationships.

      You are not a captive audience. Your livelihood and personal well-being in no way depends on remaining connected to anyone harassing you online (whether that harassment is real or imagined). You are capable of ending the harassment at any time, again, by abandoning the account that receives harassment.

      Your failure to take a simple, unilateral action to end your claimed harassment must mean that the harassment is important to you in some way. This is unhealthy, and is why you should seek mental health services. It is also plenty common for someone in a mental health crisis to rationalize their way out of recognizing it as such by believing that other people are gaslighting them. It’s a shitty, shitty knot that brain fuckery does.

      I will provide evidence when I am able, …

      Until there’s convincing evidence to the contrary, I find it much more likely that you’re experiencing a mental health incident that you should get treatment for. Let me be clear: I’m not calling you names or being derisive. If you complained of chronic chest pain, I would advise you to see a doctor. I believe your current complaint is symptomatic of a health concern, and you should see a doctor for it.

          If your report is so damning, then it should stand on its own merits. Based on your interactions here, I’m certain you have made this report available to everyone everywhere. If it had real merit, something would have already happened because of it.

          Your reply also brings me to this question: Who are you that you have access to all this credibly damning information which apparently nobody else is aware of?
