Let's hear it.

You are no doubt referring to unrelated issues with regard to certain
officers. The issues I raised all dealt with obvious lapses in natural
and expectable responsiveness. In no way was this "trolling." On the
other hand, the current noted institutional lack of responsiveness in
certain important contexts, is, in spite of its outward differences,
quite similar in spirit to "trolling."

Given the notable errors in your premise, I understand this to be
advice of only the special kind.

It is certainly true that I have in recent months raised certain
issues, and people can be unwittingly synergistic in their innacurate
and pejorative characterizations. But if I am not presented with
intelligent and on-point feedback, how then can I assume that such
"discussion" has even been registered in the minds of the classes,
much less scheduled to be acted upon? Hence, again your "troll-like"
stigmanym is misplaced.

A valid point in its essence, albeit with the problem that my
assumptions of good faith are somehow misplaced in certain threads and
not in others.
