    I would go to the police and report them for harassment, police seem to act on that faster than if you use other terms for it. They should act to at least warn them, and once they have you can ask for a court order if it continues. 
    Well worth going to the police though as that will start to show them thatyou are serious and will not take their poo any more. What utter bar stewards they are
    Thanks it wasn't something I wanted to do, seems so childish

  • Put it all together, every scrap of evidence and take it to the police. Explain to them that you have exhausted every avenue and that citizens advise advised you to do it. These people need a strong warning to back off. I know it feels like a difficult step, but it will be worth it.

    Get facebook involved especially if you have been to the police. Not sure if it will help but in the circumstances I don't it will do any harm especially with the on line safety bill going through parliament. It might also be worth talking to your mp to see if there is anything they can do. Some are very good and will do their best to help.  Some are useless it is the luck of the draw. I didn't realise the reborn doll people were so nasty although I did sell some a while ago on ebay and got some nasty comments. They weren't even mine as I was selling for someone else..

    @ladyholly There are 2 groups in the reborn world, one lovely, supportive and nice, the others control, manipulate and bully. I have reported their posts to fb but sadly fb don't do anything at all

    @WinterWarrior I don't feel it's difficult as such, it's just mentally I just can't cope with the victim shaming they do and have done. It took a lot of strength to get this far without throwing myself into the lions den again, seriously they are that bad, at 3 ladies have killed themselves because of them, dozens and dozens have walked away from their hobby, mine is not the only business they have ruined

    That is awful that they are allowed to get away with such behaviour.  I feel so sorry that you  have to cope with it and I entirely understand that it is very easy for me to sit here and say you should fight it but not at all easy to do it especially with other things to cope with. Hopefully one day karma will catch them. Hugs to you whatever you decide to do.

    It is far from childish when they are behaving like that, they really do need a big jolt into reality. They should not be able to ruin proples lives like that, and if it stops them it will be the best thing you can do.

    Agree with everyone else this is serious and should be reported to the police. I can’t believe people could be so vindictive 😡
