Also I have been on TOTV since 2007 and love this site but hate how nasty the Political Forum has become as well as how the Moderators are allowing this Political Forum to rapidly go into the toilet because of a few very much out-of-control cyber harassers and stalkers.

Let us know what your lawyer friends have to say, my wife (a retired attorney) says you have no case; 'petty annoyances' do not constitute harassment..
The Political Talk forum is an open forum with voluntary participation. You are not compelled to participate.
No one to my knowledge has threatened you, made physical contact with you, called you at home and left threatening messages, sent threatening emails to you, or otherwise threatened your safety. Had any of these action occurred, you would likely have a legitimate case for harassment.
But, having your feelings hurt as the result of what you perceive to be snide, insulting and insensitive comments (i.e.,petty annoyances) does not constitute harassment...particularly when steps can be taken to ignore such comments.
