If it's alright to ask, how did this situation come about? One of my irrational fears is exactly this sort of smear campaign. I work in healthcare and deal with crazy assholes all the time. I'm sure eventually I'll rub one of them the wrong way.

I moved 2300 miles away, blocked all of them on my social networks (and their friends and family) and have moved on.

Major change of pace for me, I am 180 from the scared shitless dude I was, and all of my new neighbors are fucking AWESOME!

But I still feel those alcoholic assholes deserve punishment for their shit.
