Dear Moderators and Qatar Living contributors,

*I am putting this letter on several threads in hopes that people will see this and take notice*

I have visited Qatar Living's website for over a year, enjoying the friendly advice and informative discussions. I have never bothered signing up for an account with Qatar Living until now, because, quite honestly, I am a bit behind the times when it comes to computers. However, watching the user named Scotiabank hound other participants these past two nights has infuriated me. He is the definition of a cyber bully, violating the rules of conduct and ruining discussions.

I have watched as he follows someone across QL to hound them. Yes, others have risen to his baiting, and they should be a little embarrassed, but the user Scotiabank's behavior is shameful and against the rules. After seeing his handiwork again this evening, I took some time to look up his other posts and discovered that he has been doing this for over a year, calling names, insulting nationalities, making racist and threatening remarks, and being generally divisive and inflammatory. The moderators have deleted many of his posts for abuse and last night even threatened to remove him. It is clear he has not learned his lesson, and so the threat should be carried out. Let him back in later if you must, but put him in "time out" for a good long while.

Some say Scotiabank is an "impostor" and that he has fabricated his user identity. I have found no proof of this beyond the accusations made on quite a few occasions. Many of the posts his accusers refer to as holding proof have been deleted or edited, so I cannot pass judgment but is is a little suspicious. At the end of the day it does not really matter much as I suppose plenty of others do a little fudging on their biography page.

I suppose now this Scotiabank will take a stab at me, calling me a thug, slut, leech or whatever filth his mind can conjure. And he will then blame everyone else for his misdeeds. But I am a forty-six-year-old grandma from Texas, so hardly the type. I am Christian but I have great respect for all those who are devout in their religion and I found the devoutness of some of our Muslim neighbors to be inspirational. I am no longer in Qatar, so I have little to lose here. I just like coming on to Qatar Living and reading about what is new with a people and a country that I found to be so welcoming.

Anyway . . . I have said my peace. I will not log-on to Qatar Living for a while, because I do not what to read the nastiness that Scotiabank uses against me. Hopefully when I do come back the moderators will have removed it and him, and Qatar Living will be a better place.

With all the best and sincerest of wishes,
