. @balajis has been ranting about me by name for months now. He has tweeted speculation on my salary, bashed my education, my writing, my career, and worse.

I& #39;ve tried to reach out to him privately. Today, he declined my call once again. Honestly asking, how should I handle this?
For those who say "ignore him," I have. It& #39;s only gotten worse.

I& #39;ve tried to speak to ppl in tech who engage w/ him. I& #39;ve tried to call him privately, he& #39;s declined. I& #39;ve tried to respond to him on Twitter, he blocked me. I& #39;m trying earnestly here and have been for so long.
Last week he was asked on Clubhouse which stories of mine he took issue with. @balajis said he "didn& #39;t read my work" and couldn& #39;t name a single story that I& #39;ve published. A. Single. Story. Yet he is constantly trying to destroy my career on the internet and in private
I& #39;ve worked so hard to become a writer. I took a massive pay cut to leave the strategy side of things. I take my job seriously and have built a reputation as someone who is fair, empathetic, and honest. I spend hrs in off the record convos to get context on the things I write abt
I& #39;d ask those who know @balajis to please help me in resolving this because it& #39;s frankly out of control.  @bhorowitz and other VCs, he clearly respects you. He& #39;s clearly very influential in your world, you invite him on your Clubhouse panels every week. What gives?
Lastly, I appreciate everyone who reads/follows my work. I developed and pursued this beat b/c I felt like there was a need for tech coverage that doesn& #39;t just focus on the business side. Tech is impacting culture in so many incredible + transformative ways, I know tech ppl agree
