Vindication was my Vengeance
Years ago, when I was on a writing site based in Germany; I came under constant attack by a group of writers. Their attacks were in public, which was against the site rules, as the leader of the group was a darling of the site, these attacks were allowed to continue despite complaints from others in the writing community on the site.
I was invited to enter a writing contest being run by a friend of the group leader; at first I declined, knowing the tactics used by the person I mentioned - win at any cost - I did enter after some coaxing from colleagues.
The result was dramatic to say the least.
She had invited her friends, to witness what she thought would be my public humiliation, what happened was the opposite. Despite having the site hacked by a friend of hers, and my best story deleted; the story was re-entered after the hack was found, from nothing, my story came back to beat her stories for a SECOND time.
I did, for a short time, consider going back on the site, and mentioning the contest, but it wasn't my style; what would be the point, she'd invited her friends to my public humiliation, only for it to be hers.
My solace was if she said I was that bad, and I beat her, how does that make her?
