    Reply: How did the first person get stopped? And what are the others now doing? Your answers will help me formulate some advice.

    Reply: First person got put on ice mostly because I kept track of what was done, what was done to my work, being manipulated, this person has others as friends who are being disrespectful, treat me unprofessionally and giving me rules to follow that this first instigator doesn't need to follow. In fact, nobody else needs to follow these rules except me.

    Reply: But who actually stopped the other person? Did you report the other person? To who? And are these other people in positions of authority over you? What's your job? What's their jobs? Sorry, I can't advise you unless I have a very clear picture of what's going on.

    Reply: All I was trying to do was get more information so that I could give you the best advice. Your extremely rude response to this endeavour makes me suspect that those "others" who were behaving badly towards you possibly had good reason for their behaviour.

    Reply: Well, I apologize for being so late with my response (although I still don't think it's an excuse for your continued rudeness). I'm not always able to respond immediately, mainly because I'm a volunteer on this board and I have two other (paid) jobs amounting to about 60 to 70 hours per week. The paid jobs have to be a higher priority for me because I support one person and three cats - they all need my money! And in your particular case, I was away on vacation (my first in over a year and a half) from February 15 through the 22nd and thus wasn't able to attend to any of my unpaid volunteer work.
