6. I think you can ignore as many people as you like.

But the number of people you can exclude from being a juror on your posts is limited. I forget what the number is. The trolls and losers who frequent this place really aren't the problem. It's the top-down nonchalance about women's issues that is the problem. If that doesn't change, nothing will change. Not holding my breath...

Liberal Loner - you are such a kind and generous person. You have been targeted by a gang of bullies who fear no retribution because they know that none is forthcoming. You do not deserve this, not at all, and that is plain to any person of goodwill who is observing it Take care of yourself - I don't really frequent Kos but maybe I'll go there and look you up. Take care of yourself!

And for the alert stalkers and the jury, go ahead and hide this. We all know that EVERYONE reads hidden posts, so my message will get seen either way. Have at it.
