Tal seems to garner a bit of ridicule in many of his posts..whether political or not. It seems posters have tired of his redundant recitation of his life experiences and discussions of his life long project. I've never met a Legal Librarian who isn't a bit "quirky". Nothing wrong with his quirkiness but I'm sure he gets under some people's skin and they are going to lash out.
As I said before....if you want to discuss hot button issues, don't complain when it gets into a gutter fight.

And all the law librarians I have met are also a bit strange. Probably because we do not really fit in with lawyers nor with librarians.
I have a thick hide. It is the stalking harassers that cross the line probably of legality too as there are laws against online abuse. If one or worse a group of people start verbally abusing someone they deliberately target on the TOTV Political Boards that's a big problem.
