I understand your frustrations with both the matter at hand and other poster's ignorant responses to your concerns regarding it. It is very easy to
make noble comments and moral judgments on an internet forum when one is removed from the situation both physically and psychologically.
All of these posters are responding as if you are somehow dealing with a calm rational, sentient being who can be dealt with in a calm and rational
way when everything that you have told us about his actions prove otherwise.
When someone goes out of their way to intentionally and maliciously destroy something that someone else has created for no reason other than to
"get" the creator I think we can all agree that that 1) the aggressor/destroyer is the guilty party in this scenario 2) the guilty party does not
behave in a rational or fair way 3) it would not make sense to attempt to deal with with the guilty party in a rational and fair way and 4)
wronged/injured/threatened parties have a right to protect themselves from current threats, seek vengeance for past wrongs/injuries/threats, as well
as defend themselves (often aggressively or preemptively) from future threats and/or the possibility of wrongs.
The problem with telling someone who has been a VICTIM to "just let it go" while attempting to persuade them that if they do not THEY are the guilty
party who is behaving wrong is twofold. 1) The "victim" remains in a state of perpetual "victimhood" with the aggressor maintaining a certain
amount of control and 2) the usefulness of the means are validated to the aggressor making them a viable course of action when dealing with future
situations.
I honestly don't know what you should do as I am, thankfully, not in your situation. However, I will not be as self-righteous as to suggest that you
do nothing about it and get on with your life.
