Bullying and Terrorism

The irony of all this is that if Morgan had just refunded me the money that was due to me, he would have had to pay quite a bit less and none of this would have happened. If he hadn't have felt the need to put me on "enemy status" we both would have gone our own ways, and that would have been the end of it.

But no, Mr. Morgan threatens me and says he is going to "get me?" And keeps my money? And spreads gossip about me and tells people to remove me as a "friend" on FaceBook? He's going to "get me" because he did not refund my money when I was forced to leave where I had paid six months rent in advance to live?

No, no, no. This is not going to happen.

Actions have consequences. We pay a price for anger, arrogance and greed. No one really wins when someone declares war, but no one is going to make war on me and continue to get away with it. I will use lawful means and facts to put an end to terror. I grew up in a military family, so I understand underhanded military tactics and "military justice." I will stand up for myself. You picked on the wrong person when you went after me.

I don't suffer terrorism, and that is what a person who uses intimidation, stealth and misinformation is. You are a terrorist and a bully. You might have gotten away with this in the military culture, but it doesn't cut the mustard in the rest of the world.


I did nothing to you but pay six months in advance, and request a refund when I was forced to leave. You declared war on me for no reason at all, except to keep my money and "teach me a lesson" since you were "going to get me" for filing a complaint. You even tried the tired old useless "sluts or nuts" defense. Hahahaha. Did you really think you would get away with this? Did you think this would work? Women have rights and protections in this world nowadays, in case you hadn't noticed. Did you think you could do all this AND get a good review for your hotel afterwards?

What did you expect? That I would lay down and take it like everybody else you go after?

You weren't able to get my review removed from Travelocity, either, no matter how hard you tried, or how many lies you told. You aren't able to damage my reputation with anyone who knows me. Everything you do continues to show who you are.

You might have frightened me quite a bit in the beginning, shouting and threatening me with your finger in my face, but I'm not afraid of you anymore.

The rest of the world isn't Panajachel, so your gossip-mongering carries no weight outside of the very small bubble you live in. I have come to Panajachel to help the schools and the children around the lake, and I will continue to do so regardless of the threats and lies you tell. Nothing is going to change that. You cannot drive me away. There is too much work to do for the good of the community for me to leave just because you have decided to target me. This is not going to happen, regardless of what you do. It is your behavior that is being recorded here. That's all.

Show the world who you truly are! If you want a good reputation, then DO THE RIGHT THINGS.

Wake up, Richard. The rest of the world knows who you are. I haven't lived in Panajachel very long, but your reputation precedes you. You can get your little gang to mobilize against me, as you've attempted to do, but I don't know these people so it doesn't make any difference at all. There is nothing you can do to hurt me or stop me from having a happy and productive life in Panajachel, helping the schools and continuing on my way.

It's your neck on the chopping block, not mine.
