I don't think there is a more cowardly form of bullying than Social Media slander & sabotage. It is so common place these days and disgusting that anyone has the ability to ruin the reputation of another person or enty by merely making (unproven) accusations publicly.
I (we) have dedicated our lives to assiting and teaching individuals to stand up against bullies and bulling of any kind.
But now True Survival, and by implication me to, have become the focus of social media bulling and sabotage. I have always gone out of my way not to name or disclose the people who act against us, what we stand for and believe in, but will make an exception this time due to the harm this person is trying to do. Not only to TS(me) but also those who can find immense benefit from our training and instruction.
Our posts has recently been targeted by a lady who claims that she has been insulted and mistreated by someone who is an instructor at TS. She goes further to state that women (the people who find the most value in our training!!!) should avoid training with us due to the fact that it is a toxic enviroment where women are demeaned and discriminated against. (Please see one of her comments attached hereto.) These comments where made on most of our recent FB and Instagram posts on True Survival, True Krav Maga and Kalah Cape Town.
I addressed a message to her on the same platforms(see attached) explaining that she has been misled by this person, and that he has no association with us other than the fact that he attended a few of our classes and courses sporadically. I kindly requested that she remove her negative (incorrect) comments and refrain from attacking us any further by making false and slanderous statements.
She did not respond....as is the case with most social media bullies when confronted directly, and continued to target our posts with her comments. I thus had no choice but to block her access to our pages.
Now 'someone' is continually reporting me and our Social Media accounts to FB & Insta, with the result that our pages are blocked regularly and that we face permanent removal from these platforms.
So I would like to invite everyone, especially the ladies who have trained with us before to freely comment on their experience. To indicate whether I or any of my instructors made them feel inferior or demeaned them. And what benefit they gained from the training we offer.
I do this to ensure that this single individual do not succeed in prevent those who desperately need our assitance, and can enjoy the life changing experience we offer, from receiving our information and contact details.
Thank you very much.
We appreciate your support and dedication.
