Look at Carroll and his "gluey" and the "he who shall not be named" and the "the thing" and more.

I can't "look" at anything because you provided no substantiation to look at. Only mere claims. So you have two claims that need support:

"What about when those who troll me refer to me with derogatory nicknames"

What "nicknames"?

"as they do so often..."

How often is that?

chrisv
Well, you must concede that the thing is sometimes mentioned, without using its name.

Of course, but it's only relevant if it can be quantified. I.e. typing the word "it" or "the thing" is hard to measure. So a list of nicknames and how to measure them is a start.

However, if the obsessed Carroll is excluded, those mentions are not very frequent, and would be quite rare, if the thing would only stop trolling (or, better yet, drop dead).

Yes, the claim is "often", which to me sounds like it would add at least another 30-40% to the numbers, right? So that needs to be measured to be supported.
