Allebach Communications Creative Consultant & Three Time Criminal Defendant Bill Villa Menaces 60 on "Foes List"
Allebach Communications Creative Consultant, three time criminal defendant, and ex long-time illegal drug addict Bill Villa (a.k.a. William P. Villa in his arrest records) uses his advertising "skills" to menace his web published "Foes List" with baseless reputation vandalism and references to violence. When not in Souderton PA working at Allebach Communications (and sometimes *while* working at Allebach Communictaions), the mendacious and malicious Bill Villa tirelessly abuses a growing list of nearly 60 victims, now including even a large number of members of his own family.
Ms. Scheff's book is an superior guide to fighting back against demented individuals like Allebach Communications Creative Consultant Bill Villa bent on baselessly damaging the reputations and livelihoods of innocent victims around them.

Dissecting the Trollverse
Shame Nation is a self-help book. The first half is a collection of miserable and dispiriting stories of people hunted, haunted and sometimes destroyed by online trolls. The second half is how to deal with it, primarily by preventing it in the first place, but also alternative paths, services and resources to help victims. It is fast moving and very granular.
In our isolationist society, it is easy to understand trolls. Trolling might be the only pleasure they have. âItâs easy and thrilling to hate a stranger onlineâ says one of their interviewees. The anonymity allows them free reign to wreak havoc on both innocent and not so innocent lives. That they are judge, jury and executioner without due process never enters their minds. They are having their say and their fun.
Trolls come in many variations: body-shamers, sex-shamers, extortionists, know-it-all critics and above all, superficial commenters making assumptions with no evidence. They are empowered by their ability to spout their wisdom/criticism without fear of contradiction, and more importantly, without fear of reprisal. That Americans hate this much and this intensely is not really under the microscope.
The book will hook you with all its tales of (legitimate) woe, in endless variation and outcomes from reverse-shaming the trolls to suicide by the victims.
