Harassment, cyberbullying & attention seeking individuals

Know Thyself, Heal Thyself is a peaceful, positive, friendly publication. In over 2 years as an editor, I only had to block 2 people. In both cases I wanted to make sure these people truly deserved to be removed as contributors. I needed tangible proof that their behavior online wasn’t acceptable. Why? Because I would never cease collaborating with someone simply because they make me feel uncomfortable. If they negatively impact the community, however, actions need to be taken.

There are all kinds of ways to engage with articles, which include asking questions for clarity or taking the essence of what is being offered. There’s also the option of not engaging at all because what was shared doesn’t apply/align with one’s experience. What is unacceptable is harassment, disrespect & cyberbulling.
