In this instance=2C a girl who identifies herself as "freebsdgirl= " is on twitter harassing and being extremely abusive towards another freeb= sd community member. She referred to him as a rape apologist=2C creepy abus= er and creepy uncle. From what I could see he simply retweeted something by= someone she didn't like.=20 The victim's name is Johannes Meixner and the harasser's name is Randi Harp= er. I was then led via reddit to a facebook post wherein he expresses his f= eelings=2C discusses his mental illnesses etc. She again hounds him.=20 https://www.facebook.com/johannes.jost.meixner/posts/839246119483473 She is announcing via twitter that your group will soon be taking decisive = action against the guy=2C despite the fact he hasn't actually done anything= except seemingly piss off an internet troll/harasser. It's worrying that s= he's using her relative twitter popularity to engage in witchhunts like the= se.=20 Here is their private chat log (which they're both spreading over reddit) -= https://archive.is/9KGyX - as you can see her behaviour is simply appallin= g and she's an ill mannered troll. I work in tech myself and had been thinking about getting involved in open = source=2C but I have zero time for people like her who wish to defame innoc= ent people (especially with the extreme things she's coming off with) and I= hope she is informed that this kind of bullying=2C vicious=2C nasty behavi= our is unacceptable and deeply not in the spirit of togetherness.=20 This isn't the first time I've seen this character harassing people who dis= agree with her=2C calling them disgusting names and setting twitter mobs on= them.=20 Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. She's still inciting her mob o= n twitter towards the guy and spreading lies about him right this minute. I= 'm sorry I couldn't come to you with better news=2C but I hate this kind of= online bullying. The guy does not deserve to have his name dragged through= the mud by this troll. Best=2C=20 Nick =
