I recall in Mudcat's past when we had many more transparent professionals such as district attorneys and lawyers that were chased away by trolls like Martin Gibson, nemesis, and Steve.

While I am impervious to their trollism many still are not. I do however get Private Messages regarding the usual suspect's compulsive trollism and ad hominem negative remarks. To these messages, I do say where there is light there is heat. Abusive personalities are as common as TRUMP.

There was a time when people actually believed Steve's claim of being victimized. It was done by pure repetition. Partly through my efforts and Steve's own remarks, many more have come to know the truth.
Some may call his behavior the nature of the social media beast but overall conditions here have improved with new policies as well as ignoring the toothless threats and inane claims.
