Hoi,
Leave off. Foundation-l is a place where relevant subjects can be raised. It
is a place that has a bad reputation among some because of the aggressive
tone.

When Dror complains about stalking, it is a valid point of concern. It is
the reason why some people I admire left our community. When you have
concerns about Dror using sock puppets, there are ways to raise these
concerns without contaminating the issue of stalking on this list.
Thanks,
