Very well addressed @jagged ...I easily relate to experiences you shared here, having been a victim of such abuse as many of us have and continue to have at the hands of malevolent individuals.

The "subtle trails" remark is perfect...upon looking back analytically, we can recognize the "obscure trails" left by the 'subtle abusers'....Such 'stealth' like methods are employed across the board by private, governmental and non-profit organizations alike; a sad thing. It has obviously been adopted by present day 'movements' of the "right-speak" micro-violent infected minds of participants.

Your compassionate words regarding those who are or will be made ill by abusive onslaught and their 'carers' is to be commended as well..."questioning their own sanity" is a position I also know well having been an involved carer more than once in my life to a family member or close friend...

What happened at YouTube can easily grow to repeat performances by others in their anguish...and it can be 'anybody' even those at the top who might be on the receiving end. Something for them to consider in their bullying tactics as of late; me thinketh...Cause and effect...

Just wanted to comment in appreciation. Have a wonderful day.
