Unfortunately it's the only way to balance things out.
Mini was against flagging as well, and look at the result. Banned from commenting, while those who posted far worse comments to harangue Mini and on a fairly regular basis seemingly mysteriously get away with it. Well they're getting away with it because it's not getting reported. Add that to a bias, and you do the math.
There's even what I call "The Murray Setup," in which at least two users would prod and prod until I finally bit and smacked back. Suddenly their replies went silent after having been within 5-10 minutes prior. Within a half hour, I got 48. THEN they resumed with the comments.
Now when they pause, I know it's time to delete that last comment. Bingo bango, I now rarely get timers. Well, that, and me covering my trail, as you can see with my comment history.
As for the alt thing, no biggie, don't you know everyone here who is not a Trumper is me? They've been saying it for years.... either they're all me, or split between me and Octavia Melody. Because the whole world just loves Trump, don'tchaknow?
