The face of harassment
At what point does harassment become, you know, harassment? As in I-should-call-the-cops harassment? Do repeated phone calls and voicemails containing the definition of the word "evil" qualify as harassment? Particularly when it's unprovoked? No one's life is in danger but harassment is harassment. What do you think?
It seems like the solution is simple, I know. Ignore the calls. Ignore the messages. Don't let them get under your skin. Yes, yes. All of those things have been done and yet they aren't smart enough to grasp the concept of letting shit go. They're in their early twenties, seniors at a big name college, and about to graduate. Do they really have nothing better to do with their time than leave harassing messages on the voicemail of a person who couldn't care less about them or what they have to say?
Yeah, yeah. I know I'm posting about it so obviously someone cares. It isn't the hateful, mean, and false things they say in the messages. It's the fact that they're still calling nearly two months later. I'm sad for them. Sad that they feel the need to push and shove and attempt to provoke. Sad that they feel the need to do this. Sad that they obviously feel so horrible about themselves that they have to take it out on other people. Many other people.
If you continue to surround yourself with such hostile negativity, you're going to end up hurting yourself and the people who love you, and no matter how many fingers you point and no matter how many lies you spew, eventually you'll have to face the fact that you're all the things you've said about those that left.

It's very sad that people feel the need to continue on with something long after the time has clearly passed. I understand the notion of fighting to save a relationship, but fighting to continue killing one off? There doesn't seem to be a point. Both parties no longer get along. It's fairly cut and dry- or should be. Walk away. If dealing with an issue is no longer a workable plan, walk away. If the relationship is worth fighting for, that's one thing...if it's not, it not only borders on pathetic, it sets up infrastructure and becomes the capital.
