Status: offline 		A rhetorical question is one where an answer isn't expected so maybe you mean a hypothetical question?

In answer to your hypothetical question.... I cannot think of anyone I dislike enough (and I can't think of a single person I would consider an enemy )
that I would even consider hacking their computer or anything.  That would be childish, immature and would indicate to me that I need to switch off my computer and get a life.

eta - "online cyber life" .... dude, I mean seriously ... wtf

He's a big enough prick in real life and online that he's doing just fine without my help.

I try not to look back on failures, but forward to future successes.
I refuse to feed the egos and energies of people I dislike by spending time brooding over them.

All in all, I'm a pretty happy bunny

Status: offline 		No. If I had an enemy I hated that much, I wouldn't want them ruined I would want them dead. But I can't fathom wasting that much energy or attracting that much bad karma ...
so I don't 'do' enemies or hate. For those I dislike I have a catch and release policy. I simply move on to bigger and better fish, more worthy of my time.

Status: offline 		I've read the responses and like many here, don't have any enemies really. However I do have some certain software, and with a bit of practice could do a few things. For one I could crash any website, and I could do it over and over again and never get caught. I don't remember all the instructions, but it'll come to me. That's if the time comes. The only ones I would consider doing anything to would probably be Westboro Baptist Church, and I won't even do it to that bunch of assholes.

Hackers get into alot of people's private shit, and they do it for fun and profit. I never learned how, but I am a quick study. But I don't want to. I have a guy I won't talk to because he fucked me out of $1,500 and I won't do it to him.

So I guess my answer is officially no. I consider things like that akin to breaking into someone's house, and I wouldn't do that for a million dollars, even amidst this financial strife.

I haven't the skills to do it, even if I was inclined to.  I feel that doing so for personal vengance gives the other person far too much power over me.  In a business situation, could be different.  But since I dont have my own business, I cant really say one way or the other.

During that phase the negative energy came back at me in drastic, expensive and exhausting ways.

I do not want to go into details.

Now that I am older and wiser- I live a more joy filled carefree life.

So-  lesson learned. 


Believe me... the blow back is not worth it.

But karma being what it is, I wouldn't want to get my just desserts if I descended to such a level of actively causing another harm.

Considering today that our lives exist online more than they do in real life

I mean think about it your life is more stored in computers and computer files than it is on paper or any other medium.



I don't think of myself as having enemies.  My ex husband, however, was a sonofabitch, and I did at one point consider being vindictive, considering what he put me through.  I have his social, his address, his account numbers, etc.  But when I thought about it for more than 10 seconds, I realized:

1.  I don't want to be that kind of person
2.  I wanted to distance my life from his, not pull his into mine
3.  It was time to me to focus ahead, not stay in the past
4.  I don't want to be that kind of person (Did I say that already?)

Seriously, I spent a lot of effort reshaping my thoughts to be more positive, kind, and peaceful.  I want goodness in my life, not meanness.  And by behaving in a way that went against my own values, I wouldn't be doing myself any favors.

Plus, he didn't need me to crumble him.  He did it all on his own.  Maybe if he focuses on being more positive, he can turn his life around, too.

Status: offline 		I think people that focus their energy on destruction, are mentally ill, and it really is just ego gratification, nothing more.

so, no, with the exception if someone was initiating the same against me, and there was no civil recourse.
