One day I’ll probably publish all the emails and iChats related to my divorce because I can’t figure out a reason not to. Whenever a marriage ends there is this idea that, if she left him, he must be bad. No doubt I was in a bad place. I was not sleeping because of crazy fears about the economy and socialism. I was freaking out because of her refusal to get John P. out of our life. I can understand why she needed to leave for a bit. I can’t comprehend why she left for good. The reasons she gave me simply aren’t valid.
With that out of the way, I’m getting close to not caring why she left for good.
This post isn’t about that. It’s about Twitter. The thing that broke me most last year was when friends of Luria created anonymous twitter accounts, either pretending to be me or just attacking me. They would create an account, follow my Twitter followers and then act like jerks. People got it, but lots of people thought it was me being an ass.
The worst thing they did was use the Neal.TV brand to hurt me. When Luria left, I realized the biggest professional mistake I ever made was putting all my hopes and dreams in her basket. She left and as I began to understand that me not liking John P was costing me everything, I started promoting my work as Neal.TV. I was hurting and broken so I didn’t think to get the nealtv twitter account. I’m nealcampbell online every chance I get to be. A friend or friends of Luria got nealtv on twitter, used my information and a picture of me and then did nasty stuff with it. The worst thing was tweeting insults to speakers at a social media event using a hash-tag that would make whatever nealtv tweeted appear on screen. It was gross and juvenile.
Luria emailed me and said if I apologized to John it would stop. I did because I thought that’s what a Jesus person should do. I also tried to get Twitter to help but they didn’t.
Fastforward a year and I’ve gotten control of the nealtv twitter account. These are the accounts I now control:
There is still one account I know about with a bad picture of me taken by John P. that I don’t control, but that’s pretty much another case of what are you gonna do?
UPDATE: I think I should make the point … I don’t blame Luria for any of this. I think she is a pawn in the game where I don’t like a man I think is bad and that man will do whatever he can to destroy me for not liking him.
