This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don't want banned.

Be smart about it. Use a clean system unrelated to anything else. Spawn a few cheap VPS instances with smaller providers, use them as VPN endpoints. It is a bit of effort and it doesn't scale well, but for a single purpose like this it is possible.

That's a lot of work just to harass a small business online.

Unrelated small businesses, sure.

But the one that just fired you?

I think that's a justified amount of work. Alao you were just fired, you've got a surplus work-budget anyway
