I'm glad you see what I'm seeing. It is pretty serious but most people don't realize because they don't see the full picture. The implications are staggering, if considered across all forums on the internet, and across the resulting deterioration of mental health of the hundreds of millions of readers of all those forums.

Thank you for your kind words. I just do my best despite the obstacles, nothing else I can do.

I do hope more people wake up to the scope and seriousness of this issue though, because I feel like the default mentality is still "Oh it's just some fools on a forum, who cares?" but they don't realize our information sources have been hijacked. They don't realize how deep and wide the trolling goes, it's not just some kids having a laugh. And I didn't really get that either until I was an admin myself. It's very hard to explain until you see it firsthand, which most people don't because the job of the admins and mods is to shield the users from seeing those attacks at all. It's a very peculiar situation, where people need to wise up but are protected from the suffering of the thing that creates the necessity to wise up in the first place.

But as trolling becomes more prevalent and the methods more common, everyone will be exposed to this sort of thing until it's undeniable by everyone. It's going to make people stop using the internet altogether, except to look things up once in a while. I think a lot of people have already left social media forever because of how toxic it has become from these attacks. I'm starting to think that's the intent. They just don't want us talking to each other and agreeing on things. They want every interaction to be a schoolyard bully fight, so people get exasperated and stop trying altogether. It's the ultimate divide and conquer, to make every person hate every other person, by a few psychopaths pretending to be a crowd of psychopaths, skewing people's view of humanity and making them fear and hate their neighbors and peers.

People need to wake up... there's a bad pied piper situation happening via the internet and a lot of people don't see it... but I do believe we as a species can overcome this obstacle in the long run.
