This thing is too bad. Truly.
I know someone who, out of nowhere, gets spam mail of a sexual nature all the time. Of all kinds. Someone must have sold his address. He deletes everything, of course, but it could be visible at work.
For that matter, a couple of times doing my research, I have ended up at sites that have trash ads of all kinds. I had to report myself to IT out of compliance with IT policies. I’ve come to the conclusion that some entity considers it valuable to attempt to degrade what might be valuable information by surrounding it with filth and craziness. Like putting AQ plans in a pixel of some disgusting pic. But you see the pic and wonder how someone could actually DO whatever it is.
I am personally very sensitive to all things abusive. One thread a couple of years ago, with BikerBayb on it and some troll, was horrid. The thread was pulled after awhile. BikerBayb was a real defender against said troll. I left the thread in disgust and didn’t post for quite awhile, as it changed my thoughts about FR.
Not really understanding the ins and outs of what took place, I am sorry to see RobRoy go. He has ordinarily been very even-keeled. There are plenty of people who post here that can find it difficult to express opinions and beliefs so transparently that the old AT&T black box transmits the exact ‘signal’ coming in as going out. That is a learned skill and predisposition that many whose personalities run silent, run deep are not of the ilk that speak their opinions often.
It does happen - too many horror stories like this:

I know exactly what you mean when you say you’re too sensitive to this type of material. For a long time I got pornography into my email. Not photos because I wouldn’t open them but disgusting subject lines. I felt like I was being tortured! Luckily, my husband came to the rescue and now I’m only bothered by friends.
