Just to note, I've never suggested going outside of the forum, and I have neither the tools nor the background knowledge to make an iron-clad case, of the technology based nature, against anyone for activities on this or any other forum. What I do see is that some appear to care less about the people who come here and post of goodwill and with general interests at heart than they do about protecting malignant behavior.
All of this, all of this easily could have been dealt with by an owner with any sense of responsibility and common decency. To moderate a forum would be to alter the substantive behavior and posting of individuals; to administer a forum would be to take care of tasks that impede the well-being and smooth operation of the forum. Removing spam and troll posts, and posters, certainly falls in the latter, and should have been addressed... continuously.
Instead, we fight amongst ourselves. Maddening in its stupidity.
