Cyberbullying is a form of moral harassment defined by Article 222-33-2-2 of the French Penal Code: “the act of harassing a person through repeated remarks or behaviour having as its object or effect a degradation of their living conditions”.
Some time ago, I had the idea of reconnecting with two good old friends whom I had not seen, for reasons beyond my control, for more than twenty years. They were both honest and respectful women in their youth.
Twenty years later, one lives in a poor European country and the other in a poor Latin American country. As for me, I live in France because I am a French citizen.
A month later, I created a WhatsApp group for the three of us to chat. In the beginning, it was the joy of a reunion; we were happy and shared family photos. Three months later, they began to mock my sincere and serious comments, initially on a sporadic basis. Then, the frequency increased, moving from once a week to every single day. At a given moment, I left that WhatsApp group, not only because of their bad behaviour, but also to protect my integrity and my values.
The moral of the story is exactly what Jesus said: ‘Do not give what is holy,’ like your friendship (your time, your kind words, and your good feelings), ‘to the dogs […] or to the pigs,’ that is, to people like these two women.
The worst part is that they call themselves Catholics, yet they display a demonic behaviour.
Harassment and cyberbullying, in any form, are crimes. Therefore, if any of these women, or any person directly or indirectly linked to them, attempts to contact me again, I will provide the names of these two women to the French police and they will be punished, because France protects all French citizens from harassers living in any corner of the planet, regardless of their nationality!
Long live France! Long live the French!
