I don't know anything about your struggle with this person (other than what you just wrote), but I have lived through some of what you described and it is bewildering and chaotic. What many don't seem to understand is that truly mentally ill people can be highly intelligent and persuasive, and therefore believable. I don't think they're always *deliberately* destroying their enemy's reputation, rather, that they see themselves as "truth tellers" of their skewed version of reality. To put it simply: there's a girl who cries wolf who knows deep down there's not actually a wolf, and will back down when people call her bluff. Then there's the girl who is absolutely convinced there is a wolf and cannot be persuaded that it is actually a dog. She only sees a wolf and will not back down. THAT girl will cause untold damage.
I suggest you drop her completely and move on. There's nothing good for you in engaging with the drama. Lay off the petty back and forth, be bigger than that. Don't give her any publicity stay on your mission.
I love you and feel bad for the negative situation you're suffering. You're a public figure who I have admired watching and listening to. I hope you can find whatever it is that you are seeking when this situation resolves itself for you. I am trying to be a friend in this not an antagonist. ~ Sorry :)
Just found this and as I've followed you for a year or so and admire your work I am flabbergasted over how you've been treated. And to add to it, I'm living through something similar but much less public (for now anyway) so I relate to your feelings and deeply empathize with your situation. I think you're a strong and brave person for sharing this and not backing down, I find it encouraging and inspirational. Thank you, and stay strong - you got an "online friend" in me. /@annalogue75 (Anna)

Perhaps you didn't read the part where I tried that and things just got worse.
So no, that's not going to happen.
Enjoy the dance of your life ... You choose the dancers you choreograph with and the audience it attracts. ~ Peace :)
Spoken like someone who has never had someone smear publicly them for two years

Fair enough. I appreciate it.

Thank you Anna. I'm sorry you've had to deal with it.
