Actually in this case the writer is providing a useful service. Here's why. The "stranger on the internet" sent me a 100% unsolicited DM saying that she read some of my stories and that they are the rantings of an unwell man.

Well, that is basically correct, lol, but nevertheless, I thought it was insane that someone would DM me to say so.

So an article like this validates my assumption. Others have had similar experiences, I now see in the comments.

This is also the second article I've read in two days regarding the same person.

So yeah, it's not a good idea, generally, to stress over trolls. But in this case, it is valuable information. And he's asking a legit question. Is he the bad guy here?

And the answer is no.
