people who follow you and then don't, Judge Alex Ferrer in this case

Judge Alex used to follow me on Twitter. Then he deleted me without notice or explanation. I just happened to notice it.  I don't know why he did, but it was apparently easy as a click of a button. I happened to notice that now he doesn't follow me. It wouldn't bother me if he had never followed me, but when he followed me and then deleted me, it got to me.  I never sent PMs except twice in response to ones he sent. I tried not to bother him.  It was more trouble on his part to delete me than to just leave it alone. I wonder why he went to the trouble of deleting me.  I've gone back and forth on the "he's a nice guy/no, he  isn't" pendulum enough times that almost anyone would be dizzy.

He has "fans" who bother them with their asinine remarks almost daily. He continues to follow them. I wonder why? Is there something that they can do for him that I cannot? I really don't know. In many cases, it's not because they're especially good-looking, because many, in fact most of them are not. Even considering their ages, they're not physically attractive. Many are grossly overweight if not morbidly obese. Some of them show up at events where he will appear almost to the point that they are practically stalkers.  I don't do any of such things. If I did, would he like me better? I cannot help wondering.

I don't  really believe  it's the perception of being a pedophile that causes him to distance himself further from me than he was in the first place. I am eighteen now, and furthermore, I never threw myself at him in any way, much less in the way that some of those whom he follows do.  Nor do I believe his wife went through his list and deleted anyone who was pretty, because if such were the case, I'd still be on his list. I'm not butt-ugly, but neither am I beauty queen material.

Either he or someone else, and I believe it was he, because I choose to believe he controls his own Twitter followers, made a conscious choice to click a button and un-follow me.  I cannot help taking it personally. I did nothing to earn his wrath or even his rejection. Perhaps if I were to convince my father to dedicate his next journal article to Judge Alex, he would follow me again. Or, for that matter, my godfather is an owner of a very large dairy operation. If I begged hard enough, I could possibly get him to name an entire dairy cow line after the Judge and his progeny, or after various aspects of his TV operation.  Since dairy cows are female, they would have to be  "Alejandra," "Masonia," etc., and I could incorporate his family names in as well, although I don't know how his wife would feel about having a heifer named after her. If I were she, I wouldn't be crazy about the idea.

Regardless, I would never stoop to such levels. If he will only like me if I manage to have journal articles about multiple myeloma dedicated to him or dairy cattle named after him, he was never really even my "Twitter" friend, much less my real-life friend.  Maybe it's different with the middle-aged women who drool over him.  Perhaps their adulation boosts them over the top to the extent that he actually likes them. Somehow I think if I did that, though, even were it not beneath my dignity, I think it would creep him out.  Maybe if my family were a Nielson rating family, he would ignore the"creep out" factor and not kick me off his list of people he follows. I'll never know, though, because my family is not among the elite few whose choices impact what stays on TV and what goes off for the entire nation. I'm merely a lone unimportant eighteen-year-old girl or woman.

I can't help wondering if Judge Alex has any idea that a simple click of a button actually hurts a person's feelings. I've read and heard that the true measure of a person's character can be measured in how he treats someone who is not in a position to do anything for him or her. If such is the case, Judge Alex's character comes up short.
