I've decided to use HOF for my farewell thread.

[tblue37]

85. Seabeyond, I do not always agree with you, and once you and a few

others jumped on me and essentially called me a troll because I tried to calm a fight in one thread, but I have always respected your passionate defense of principles I hold dear, even if your passion sometimes leads you to make intemperate remarks. (I am sure you will not remember the situation. It was a year or two ago--maybe even more.)

I mostly lurk these days, posting only a few times a week, if that. But I have an excellent memory, so I am always aware of who is stalking or trolling whom, and I know for a fact that certain people stalk you from thread to thread, deliberately goading you and then alerting on your posts. Often they alert on posts that are so innocent that I can't believe they don't incur some sort of penalty for abusing the alert function! (There really should be some sort of check on that BS!)

I checked those last two hidden posts of yours, and there was NO reason for them to be alerted on or hidden. Obviously the alerters got lucky and drew juries with a number of people who have it in for you.

I just want to let you know that a lot of us whom you do not even know are aware that you are being stalked, trolled, and alert-stalked and that you do not deserve an enforced hiatus over 5 posts when at least 2 of those posts should never have been alerted on, much less actually hidden.
