Bloggers Targeted By Woman Claiming "Gift of Prophecy"

The posts have been rolling in. A woman named Dawn Gordon has apparently been targeting bloggers that host giveaways, claiming that they are committing fraud, and that in actuality the bloggers are all one person, and that person is actually a man.
It’s clear from Ms. Gordon’s Twitter stream (where much of her rantings are done as @PoeticalProphet) that she believes she is doing God’s work by letting companies know that they have been scammed, supposedly, by these bloggers.
Sadly, it seems as though some companies are listening.
Most companies are siding with the bloggers, of course, but they are asking bloggers about her claims. I find the claims rather amusing; today Dawn Gordon shared a Google Document with me listing the supposed fake bloggers, and at least a third of them I’ve met in person, so I know they are actual, well, mom bloggers. It would be a very deep (and expensive) case of fraud to find women to pretend to be moms at blogging conferences –- some actually carrying their children about with them –- just for a few free swag items.
Ironically, according to one source, Ms. Gordon is also claiming that the companies should also send HER the same items or her children will only get dollar store items for Christmas.
The new site Mom Blog Hate has created a profile for Ms. Gordon:
Ms. Gordon has targeted multiple bloggers – via Twitter and the comments sections of their blogs – because she believes them to be someone else. I do not claim to know whether or not her anger toward her presumed targets is justified, but I do know that the people she has targeted that I have met in person (and can therefore verify their identities) are not who Ms. Gordon thinks they are. After talking with one of my friends who has been targeted by Ms. Gordon – a friend who was in tears and shaking from the bullying she’s endured – I tried to engage Ms. Gordon in conversation via Twitter to ask her if there was any sort of proof she would accept that my friend was not who she thought she was.
The tweets are pretty intense.
I’m not one to speculate (well, too much) about a person’s mental health, but some other folks have and there is actually a petition dedicated to trying to get Ms. Gordon some psychiatric help, and was created by some of the moms she’s targeted.
For more information about this situation –- one that can only happen on the internet – this post lists several blogs talking about Ms. Gordon. Let’s hope Ms. Gordon gets help, and soon.
Thank you for writing about this! The bully profile I created only barely scratches the surface of this woman’s cyberattacks. I truly hope Ms. Gordon gets the help she needs so that the bloggers she has targeted – my friends – can finally have some peace.
The silver lining to this is the fact people are noticing. She has been harassing several twitter pals for YEARS because she lived a fantasy romance in her head and tailspined once she was rejected…. This is all to try and get even with one person… One man who’s life she is hellbent on destroying. SHE MUST BE STOPPED!!!
Good post Cecily. I have so much to say about this, but I’ll choose the higher road. I just wouldn’t feel right bashing this woman to the extreme of words going through my head. I will say this much… this woman needs meds and to just stop her behavior. She needs to be officially banned from using the Internet by a judge, just like any other Internet predator that is caught, convicted, sentenced, and monitored. She is a predator, and a predator is a predator.
Thank you for spreading the word on this very transparent monster. She’s been around the ‘net for awhile. Having been harassed by her since last June or so, I created a web page, http://cyberstalkingsbydawn.wordpress.com, to screen capture and prove her madness. Links to various other pages she has, are on the right hand side of the page.
No businesses are being frauded. Like you said, the lazy, worthless, pathetic person that she is, wants free hand outs. It’s her own damn fault that she will have to skimp on presents (IF this is true, she has church handouts coming in, and I imagine that since she is indigent and incompetent, her local Children and Youth Services are providing for her neglected child, IF she has her in her possession….but she’s online ALL day, so if she has her daughter, I fear that she is severely abused). She refuses to leave her full-time, manic role of cyberstalking and harassing, to find a job. She claims to be qualified to work in hospice, singing people to their deaths (I screen captured it on the WP page), a few weeks ago.
Keep spreading the word. I don’t enter contests, but she needs permanently banned from the internet, before this transcends to physical violence, as she spirals into a sicker state.
I have watched her tailspin for a long time now…. she needs to be stopped
Thanks so much for putting this out there! The targeted bloggers (which includes myself) really appreciate the message getting out there and the support! This hasn’t been a fun battle!
Obviously this woman is dealing with mental illness, and not working with a full deck. I cannot believe that you think that this new site “mom blog hate” is ANY different at ALL to my old site poops on peeps. Oh except you like this site, so that makes it better? It’s kind of apparent what YOU deam to be bullying and what others view to be bullying is two different things. But there’s one very important thing that helps you decide. Are they popular bloggers that are the “targets”, will they help you climb that ladder.Because I think bullying ones children for a bottle of bourbon is FAR worse than what this woman is doing. . I guess the irony of all this finger pointing of who is bullying and cyberstalking is lost on you.
You don’t think your article is going to bring some counter bullying cyberstalking on your behalf?!
Perhaps Michele you need to look at what you posted. I’m wondering if you realize that you sounded just like Dawn Gordon with your writing style and grammar, in the above post?
Having had to deal with this woman for nearly four years, it’s horrible to see other people swept up into her mad little world. “Michele” – you have *no* idea what this woman is doing. She’s contacted my family, my friends, my employers and shows no signs of stopping. She’s libeled me recently and I make a living off of my public profile. I personally don’t think this article will bring on “counter bullying cyberstalking” (whatever the crap that is). I think it will serve a great purpose in getting the word out that Dawn Gordon is a psychotic stalker and needs to either be incarcerated or institutionalized. Get over yourself, Michele.
I am a buisness that has sponsored a giveaway with one of the blogs mentioned in the Google Doc and I know for a fact that that blogger is a real person and that my prize that I offered was delivered to the actual winner.
This lady is nut job and I hope that any businesses that this wack-a-doodle has contacted realize that this lady is offer her rocker.
