Rachel Wolf

Okay, you probably clicked the link at http://about.me/rachelwolf, which brought you here. You were curious. I get it. People seem more interested in reading horror stories or tales of woe than something uplifting. That's why they slow down to gape at accidents, or laugh when people get injured on "America's Funniest Home Videos."

I get it. Well, actually, I don't. But Facing Bullies was created because bullying has reached epic proportions and it's time to fight back in a big way.

Stop! In the name of sanity...

Drastic times call for drastic measures... or something like that.

After much internal debate and several drafts (unfortunately not of beer), I finally wrote and mailed my Cease and Desist letter, otherwise known as a C&D. I had spoken with the local police; they suggested I take this step before filing a restraining order. The theory was that a letter would be less likely to incite a negative response than legal action. I'm not sure they would've said that had they read my letter, but believe me, what I finally sent was toned down considerably.
