Are you insane publishing this garbage @charliesmith? Ng Weng Hoong is the biggest troll in the YVR Twittersphere & has dedicated his online life to harassing me with literally THOUSANDS of tweets. Here’s a video of me hi-speed scrolling thru some of them https://twitter.com/charliesmithvcr/status/1386498215348891651
The full video lasts more than six minutes! Ng Weng Hoong set up his Twitter account for the specific purpose of targeting me. Here's his first tweet on Nov 13, 2018, marking the start of this descent into madness:
Of course, I blocked him But that wasn't enough, oh no, because he then set up a fake account in the name of Alex Joseph Ferguson to amplify his harassment.
So I blocked that account too. But OF COURSE, that wasn't enough, because he then started responding to my tweets IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF UNRELATED NEWS STORIES I wrote. Naturally, this breached terms and conditions, so my publisher, The South China Morning Post barred him
BUT OF COURSE that wasn't enough, because Ng Weng Hoong then settled on his now-favoured tactic of tagging as many people as he could to his tweets that mentioned me. Ten, 20, 50 people are routinely tagged to this reeking vomitus!
He tags my editor. He tags Jack Ma. He tags politicians. He tags random people with whom I have briefly interacted online. Nearly everyone I know who has contacted me about this bonkers situation has blocked or muted him. But almost every day some neophyte will reply to him...
AND THUS, LIKE SOME CURSED MONKEY PAW KEYRING, Ng Weng Hoong manages to make his presence known in the timelines of myself and the dozens of poor souls he tags. He's presence is impossible to shed. He's social media herpes
And yet @charliesmithvcr you humour Ng Weng Hoong's outrageous, unacceptable behaviour...and now cloak him as the victim! How utterly pathetic
And if you are wondering about the origins of Ng Weng Hoong's hatred of me, it can be seen in his first tweet: The SCMP complained to his then-publisher, @NewCdnMedia about a shoddy story that mentioned me in 2015...
His publisher's ombudswoman, SFU's Dr Catherine Murray wrote a report that resulted in his story being corrected & moved out of the "news" section of the New Canadian Media website, to my & the SCMP's great satisfaction. To my knowledge, Ng hasn't written for @NewCdnMedia since
And for those of you who have NOT blocked Ng, the next time he engages with you, maybe ask him for a copy of Dr Murray's report, which is extremely illuminating
POST SCRIPT: And he creates YET ANOTHER ACCOUNT to continue this vendetta! I'd no sooner chat with you than Taylor Swift would open the door to the bloke on her deck who says they have a special connection, you freaking maniac
