Yes, it's personal.
War-like, with screaming calls to battle ("YOU ARE A F*#!ING CRIMINAL!") and overreaching shock and awe tactics, designed to get all Hiroshima ... which sadly (for everyone involved, and too many who were not at all), has achieved its intended effect over the past three years.
I have lost. Copiously, tangibly. And to this day, I continue to be abused and bullied by certain fools who believe it's their right or their calling, or it's somehow okay, because Hey, it's "out there", online, so it must be okay ... and must be true!
You don't mind, do you (Scumbag), if I pile on and harass, make demands of your ass and get all hateful? You deserve it! You must be used to it, right?
I'll just post a little bit too ... slander, libel ... add a few non-facts after the fact. Use CAPITAL LETTERS - because like the rest of the internet, I'm PISSED OFF!! Entitled, self-righteous, anonymous (though you'll always know very well who I am) ... and I'll do this, unless you meet every demand I decide to make!
You own the apartment - I'm your guest, in your property. But I'll fight you! Create problems, invent them ... talk nonsense, "yelp" bullshit and CALL YOU NAMES because I'm a misery. Plus I feel inconvenienced.
Plus, I read online somewhere that you deserve what I am fully prepared, and have cleared up my life and calendar, to give you. Or give someone; "Jeff"'s not even your real name! All criminals use aliases! Jeff Glovsky's a crook, right? You rip people off! I'll make it certain that your clients and customers -- whom I'm not involved with, don't know and have no business ever being in contact with -- all know this ... so that reasonable dealings and communications, resolvable problems which might arise and/or potentially smooth and successful transactions with them -- developed and nurtured from a place of trust -- remain elusive to you, your family, business(es) and livelihoods.

But about your apartment - I lost your key and locked myself out. So?? I won't cover the cost of the locksmith and the replacement key. Of course not! I'll CALL THE POLICE if you try to deduct the cost of the locksmith and the replacement key from the security deposit I argued about giving you.
I'd like to pay for the apartment in full the day I arrive, please.

Wait ... Why is this not possible?!?
Okay. So if you can't just hold the apartment in limbo, turning away other potential tenants and hoping I actually show up in a couple of months ... then how about I send you $25, $50 in good faith? Obviously, I won't pay anything else up front. And I've got a friend in town who can visit the apartment and see it for me (just to make sure it exists). When will you be in town? If not, I'd like to do a walk-through when I arrive, before paying - Again, just to make sure your apartment exists and I'm not being SCAMMED!!!!!!
... Then, depending on what you have inside and the overall condition of things, I'll offer you what I think is an appropriate security deposit for myself, my two pets and my three children (but really, it's just me who will be staying in your apartment ... just as we discussed. But we're all well-trained and well behaved.).

Jeff! I've been trying to reach you. You don't pick up your phone, and you won't let me text you?!?!?? I just called your wife and parents (I found them online), to see if they could help me contact you ...
Anyway, I'm 'checking out' of your apartment in ten days from now ... just as we discussed. I want to make sure you're there when I leave, to get my security deposit back. My flight is at 6am. Probably leaving the apartment around 3:30 ... Make sure you're there, or I'll CALL THE POLICE again (Scumbag)!
Actually, such tenants -- such human beings -- from the belching, eruptive bowels of hell, have been relatively infrequent ... yet it's a tragic fact, to which I can and will attest, endlessly - that such obnoxiousness, stemming from fear and fueled by ignorance, does exist.
Because in 2010, things were made personal. The sovereign state of my personal name and reputation was invaded -- raped, violated, left to die by the side of the information superhighway -- and as a result, everybody ended up losing battles.
Now, going forward, it's the ones who keep coming ashore with faulty intelligence -- the lazy and dangerously misinformed, who launch and re-launch the same attacks, the same Hiroshimas, September 11ths and Syrian gas nightmares ... perpetually offensive because they think there's no defense -- who are going to end up not winning the war.
