I’ve found that the best way to deal with attempts at cyberbullying is to counterattack with humor. Take this Prevarication Du Jour from nine years ago today as an example.

Bill Schmalfeldt thinks he knows the contents of my dreams. It is much more likely that he is simply following his own hallucinations.

Point One: The Cabin Boy has placed himself in an indelicate position. He went and got a peace order issued against himself because he was harassing me. The fact that he did so is now a settled legal matter that is not subject to relitigation. Thus, under the dreaded principle of … wait for it … res judicata, the fact of his harassment does not have to be proven again in any civil matter between us. If I were to sue him, the fact of his tortuous behavior would be a given. The only point at issue would be the extent of the damages I have suffered.

Point Two: I don’t bother pulling the wings off flies. I zap flies with a Bug-A-Salt.
