The main reason the smear campaign against me succeed

because people believed everything anybody told them, no matter how ridiculous, without question.

Action speaks louder than words.

If someone told you s/he doesn't like a person s/he just met, or never met in her/his life, you need to ask WHY.  The act of slandered someone just met indicative of malicious intend.

When you confront these devious creeps, they will malign others by saying someone else told them that.  You need to ask who that is and verified with such person and ask the person why s/he said that about me.

When you don't confront these devious creeps, they will continue to harm other good people.  At the end, all you had left is a bunch of devious creeps and a cesspool which you are going to have to live with.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
