Today, I woke to an abusive tweet from a handle that I had never
noticed as one of my followers on Twitter. The anonymous handle is named ‘Angry_AJ’ and
the short bio on the profile introduces the user as an “Abusive when Abused else Easy loving Girl.” I did not
remember abusing anyone including this handle on Twitter. So, I was curious as
to what prompted this otherwise ‘Easy loving Girl’ to become so abusive!
Last night I saw a
Time of India tweet that said, “Gujarat set to become India’s manufacturing and
petrochemical hub: Anandiben Patel" Since our PM Modi has always been
claiming that Gujarat is already a most developed manufacturing and industrial
hub, I felt that the present CM’s use of future tense is an insult to him. I commented,
sarcastically, on the story and tweeted as follows:
Jay_Ambadi: Set to become? Trolling Modi? ;) RT "@timesofindia: Gujarat set to become India’s manufacturing
and petrochemical hub: Anandiben Patel"
Nilim Dutta responded:
@NilimDutta: @jay_ambadi After sooo many years of 'development' and #VbrantGujarat? :p @timesofindia
This tweet prompted the Angry_AJ to abuse me and Nilim Dutta
by tweeting:
@Angry_AJ: @NilimDutta
@jay_ambadi two of the biggest MCs of a Twitter now talking about Gujarat which is
alive like salt in every dish bhenchos
The first thing I read when I woke up in the morning was
this abusive tweet. As I am used to receiving such tweets from unknown handles,
at first I decided to ignore it. However, it did not end there. Perhaps this ‘Easy
loving Girl’ understood my silence as a weakness. So, ‘she’ came back to attack
me further when I retweeted the following response to the Union Minister, Ms.Uma
Bharati’s outrageous comment on electric crematoriums:
@utterflea: Uma Bharti babe plis go ahead and opt fr a
log cremation. As fr me, Id rather not have my pristine knee caps floating down
the Ganges
Our ‘Easy loving Girl’ responded by this tweet:
@Angry_AJ:@utterflea die
before she succeeds @jay_ambadi
When I saw this, I was convinced (going by my past
experiences) that this handle is not going to let me tweet in peace unless I
confront and settle the matter. So, I responded in the same tone:
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ And
you, rot when she succeeds! @utterflea
Though my intention was to get back at the handle, but there
was an element of truth in my response. If we go by the suggestion of Ms. Uma
Bharati and do away with electric crematoriums we all will have to rot, to some
extent! Isn’t the half burned bodies thrown into Ganges so infamous?
Let me quote the tweet exchange that followed:
@Angry_AJ: @jay_ambadi bastard
you I didn't referred you son of a bitch don't dare again @utterflea
Now the ‘Easy loving Girl’ is not only abusing, but also warning
me not to dare, to respond again! I decided to call the bluff and responded:
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ :-))
Thanks, but no thanks! So, please take that back. @utterflea
The exchange that followed went like this:
@Angry_AJ: @jay_ambadi nope u
deserved that , don't interfere when not needed everybody is not Gandhi, you
get twice the hit
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ
What are you? Godse? You tagged me in a
reply. I didn't tag you or follow you. I don't take abuses, I just return it to
the giver.
@Angry_AJ: @jay_ambadi
nw shut up AH
Now that 'she' wanted me to shut up, I decided to push it further!
@jay_ambadi : @Angry_AJ
You started it by barging into my TL.
Come on, bring out your worst abuses. Let me see how much your parents have
taught you.
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ
But I reserve my right to block you,
just to keep the dirt out of my TL.
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ
What is the worst abuse that you were
taught? Or you finished your quota? I am waiting eagerly to know your standards!
That is when she decided to make the expanded form of AH
clear to me so that I don’t miss her message!
@Angry_AJ: @jay_ambadi I said shut up asshole
I was in no
mood to give up, yet. I wanted to take the conversation to its logical end!
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ
You are a coward &you cant silence
me. You can only abuse me &show your upbringing. I am ready for the
challenge. bring it on.
By now the ‘Easy loving Girl’ has decided it is not worth pursuing.
What can you do to a person who is not getting upset with the stock of your
worst abuses? You cannot obviously attack him physically on twitter (or even in
the real world when you are too scared to lose your anonymity)! When there was
no further response, I checked the status and found that Angry_AJ has already unfollowed
me.
I brought the conversation to an end by sending this tweet:
@jay_ambadi: @Angry_AJ Glad
to know that you have unfollowed me now :) Have a great day ahead!
Obviously, I received no further responses! Thank you, Sri
Buddha, for devising the best strategy to deal with such vicious abusers!
