All of the weirdness going on here lately is a sad state of affairs to say the least. Unfortunately, there are people in the world whose only pleasure is in spoiling someone else's, and while I admire the attempts to reason with them, please understand that it will do no good. If you get angry, they win. If you try reason, they are delighted in having put you to the trouble. If you give up and go away, their victory is complete. They have no sense of right and wrong, and no conscience as most of us understand it. The only possible solution is to ignore them completely, but can we really get organized and unified enough to do that? I'd like to think so, but the temptation to come back at them with some kind of response is going to be too great for a lot of us. I have enjoyed this place very much the last few years (I'm not saying I'm leaving), but as we seem to be at the mercy of a different species right now, I'm in favor of whatever can be done to make things back like they were. I don't know what it will take, but my advice is not to try to understand the pathetic minds that have invaded this forum. They cannot be understood as humans. So please feed them the only poison that works, which is lack of attention.
