Hey @TwitterSupport thanks for banning @Glinner but you could& #39;ve maybe done it when he was STEALING MY PHOTOS AND SLANDERING ME AS A PEDOPHILE
I& #39;m tweeting about this a lot but it& #39;s fucking cathartic to see a cause that led to me being lied about on the fucking radio actually finally bear fruit
Father Ted was a huge part of my childhood and something I bonded with my late father over. It was beyond heartbreaking to find out that the person who made it wanted me fucking dead. And when I spoke out? That was some of the worst abuse of my life. From a fucking celebrity
He liked tweets that threatened to assault me in the street. A lot of his followers did. I was scared to leave my fucking house, because that man couldn& #39;t stand me wearing a hairclip while criticising him
And my story is only one of many. Graham Linehan is an abusive, manipulative, narcissistic, petty little man. He delights in hurting people who can& #39;t fight back while women croon over him for doing so. He& #39;s a fucking bully, and he used this website as his playground
This isn& #39;t a hundredth of what I got, and I don& #39;t even think I got it so bad in the grand scheme of his abuse campaign
They took far too fucking long to ban him
I don& #39;t get vulnerable on here often, because if people like him. But he put me in a very dark place, and it took a long time to recover. I had a lot of sleepless nights and tears, but I kept fighting because he was hurting people. And they might not be so able to fight back
But he wore me down. He convinced people I was a pedophile. He slandered me on the radio. He called me a liar and threatened me. He wouldn& #39;t let up until he found someone less able to defend themself and he sent his ghouls at them instead. And I was so, so tired, but I fought
And twitter in all its wisdom? They did nothing. They wouldn& #39;t even take my picture down without seeing my fucking passport. If I hadn& #39;t had a trip the month after that took me out of the country I might have succumbed to the fear he& #39;d ingrained in me, or fought until I dropped
I& #39;m not a well person. He played on my fears and anxieties. At the time I had less than 500 followers, and he had over 600k. The people who stood by me got me through it, and I& #39;m truly grateful, but if that had kept up? I don& #39;t know what I& #39;d have done
I& #39;m one of the lucky ones. How many people did he hurt worse than me? How many people can& #39;t speak out anymore? And twitter did nothing then, when it could, and should have. By their own fucking rules. He should have been banned for a thousand things over the course of years
This isn& #39;t going to stop affecting me, even if he is gone. He& #39;s vile, and he knows it, and he loves it. And he loves that he hurt me, and many, many others.
