They Made Me Searchable. I Made Myself Unforgettable.

They wanted people to Google me.

That was the intention all along.

They wanted to attach my name — Calvin Hardie, Calvin-Lee Hardie, from Inverness — to something humiliating, something viral, something that would ripple out beyond my control. They wanted people to type my name and find the version they created.

They made me searchable.

But what they didn’t expect is that I would take that same digital footprint —

that trail of harm, silence, speculation, and hate —

and turn it into a record they can’t overwrite.

I didn’t just respond.

I built something.

This blog.

This archive.

This series.

Every post they tried to erase, I replaced with evidence.

Every laugh they tried to provoke, I turned into a paragraph of public truth.

Every quiet whisper behind my back became a loud, indexed entry they can’t control.

This wasn’t about revenge. It was about permanence.

Because if people are going to search my name —

I want them to find what really happened.

Not the lies.

Not the video.

Not the silence that followed.

I want them to find this: a forensic breakdown of what was done, what was hidden, and what was never truly deleted.

That’s the mistake they made.

They thought Google was a weapon.

They didn’t realise it’s also a ledger.

And while they tried to define me in one moment —

I turned that moment into twenty.

Twenty posts. Twenty truths. Twenty pieces of permanent counterweight to the harm they hoped would remain unchallenged.

They wanted to control what came up when people typed my name.

Now they don’t.

Because I’ve filled the space with something stronger than speculation — I filled it with documentation.

And that kind of truth stays searchable long after their content disappears.

This is Playback.

This is my name.

And they’ll never own it again.
