Not strictly AIBU but if you have two people who are acquaintances/distant colleague/vaguely socially known to each other but rarely in each others presence BUT a third party persistently tries to stir up trouble between the two parties.
Situation is: Person A is friends with Person B on the dreaded face book. Both have tight friends only controls. Person B is also friends with Person C (but C and A are not friends) C can sometimes read As comments if B has written on As wall, then C screenshots the comments and passes them to D (Who is not on FB) to be read
D then accuses A of 'bullying by proxy' even though A has made no reference to A anywhere at all nor alluded to A. This is a work based situation even though I would imagine this is more common in the playground with the hes said/she said scenario.
Is there a specific name/syndrome/psychological trait for the behaviour of C who seems to want to facilitate ill feeling between A and D, other than 'shit stirrer'?
Thank you for your time
