I just sent off a brief message to Mr. Beaty asking if he could take a moment of his time to assess whether what I personally perceive to be an increase in trolling activity originating from certain anonymous individuals (whose names shall not be mentioned here to avoid email filters) might need to be addressed.
It's generally not my policy to pester Mr. Beaty as we all have busy lives that need attending to. However, I am getting concerned. It was just my own personal opinion that I expressed to Mr. Beaty. As a single opinion I don't carry that much weight. It's more likely to be the collective opinions of the Collective that will carry the necessary weight. Therefore, others who might feel concerned about recent trolling activity might want to drop Bill a line. Be sure to express your own opinion. BE BRIEF!!! I did mention the fact that, IMHO, posting clearly marked Off Topic [OT] discussions is a perfectly healthy activity for Vortex-l participants, as long as the intention is not to incite undue aggravation among other members. Unfortunately, certain trolls have been abusing that privilege. IMHO, it might be time to address the matter, administratively.
