. @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'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's only gotten worse.

I've tried to speak to ppl in tech who engage w/ him. I've tried to call him privately, he's declined. I've tried to respond to him on Twitter, he blocked me. I'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't read my work" and couldn't name a single story that I've published. A. Single. Story. Yet he is constantly trying to destroy my career on the internet and in private

I'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'd ask those who know @balajis to please help me in resolving this because it's frankly out of control.  @bhorowitz and other VCs, he clearly respects you. He'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't just focus on the business side. Tech is impacting culture in so many incredible + transformative ways, I know tech ppl agree
