This reminds me of my first foray into OT months and months ago when I was a forum n00b. I can't recall the specifics, but I posted something, got totally ignored, took offense and didn't post there again for months.

OT can be tough. It's where the forum Vorlons live. It's also a hugely rewarding place. OT has its own rules that are different from other forums on the bbs.

Ok, so if you are being harassed, report it to a moderator in a PM or by reporting the harassing post. That doesn't show weakness, I think we all understand that sometimes communication breaks down and the moderators can help with that.

As for people vilifying you, trust me, I know exactly how hard that is. In my time on the forums I've been called a Nazi (in general) and Goebbels (to get specific). I was accused of breaking the UN Declaration of Human Rights. A 1-post wonder claiming to be a psychologist diagnosed me as being a compulsive liar. Apparently I must be typing this from my secret lair built into the side of a volcano, on a sun lounger next to the shark pool.

I'd say that up to a certain point, you'll just have to roll with the crazy. But if it crosses the line to become a harassing situation, contact a mod for guidance and assistance.
