Hi fellow subsimers. I've had some "adventurers" which I'd like to share with you.

I "quit" about a year ago, going into a nursing home, but I'm recovered enough and had myself discharged and returned home.

A bit over a year ago a courageous woman named Charlotte Dawson ( a big media personality here in Australia ) took her own life after a vicious. vitriolic, downright evil, relentless, social media campaign organised against herself by some university academics who mobilised a whole host of trolls to personally attack her online ( facebook, letters to the editor, etc )

I don't know what their gripe was, but the postings were in capital letters ( like they're shouting ) death threats, pictures of dead bodies, obscene porn, and anything else a sick mind could think of.

For a long time she fought back and managed to track a few of them down and expose them on national tv. Then the attacks got worse, and well everyone's got a breaking point. The poor girl made herself up nicely put on her prettiest dress and hanged herself.

There were a few tribute sites put up on the web by her friends but they were also targeted by the trolls. They've all been taken down now because the damage to them was truly disturbing.

And these sickos are still out there, completely insane with access to technology.

One of the academics responsible was "punished" by being stood down for a few days but later reinstated.

A lot of people were deeply affected by the vile tragedy. Among them Russell Crowe, Richard Wilkins, and Alex Perry. These guys broke down in tears and disbelief at the inhumanity of it all.

Well, I too was deeply affected, I had a heart attack, was completely paralysed down the left side, and needed careing for. So into the nursing home I go.

Whilst there I was slowly recovering the use of my limbs when of all things I contracted Viral meningitis ( from a mosquito bite ). The brain swelled up in the old brainbox but had nowhere to go, so it squeezed in on itself and a lot of delicate "centres" were damaged.

My eyesight deteriorated badly ( London fog ) quality now. I lost most of my hearing and have to wear hearing aids. And I completely lost my sense of smell and my sense of taste. I'm saving a fortune on food 'cause I'm practically living off porridge of various types.

Anyway to cut a long story short I'm recovered enough to have had myself discharged and am back home by my much missed computer.

Is there no longer a "Post pictures of women you think are beautiful " thread?
