I was on Findlaw for a long time but got hit with the targeting of a particularly nasty and creative troll. Had been looking for some other place to talk about my efforts. Findlaw people had encouraged me to get athletes and Hollywood involved. This was around 2004. I am pretty sure both these groups have helped. Various members of these groups show up on my Facebook page. And I applaud their help.


I did communicate with the police at my end and at the creative troll's end but neither could do anything about him because of freedom of speech. I went in person to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department to give them documentation of my efforts. They had mixed feelings about that too. I did introduce myself to the Sumter County Sheriff's Department as well soon after I moved here. This was in case the creative troll continued his attacks. I have not seen him on Talk of the Villages.
One of the people I admired at Doggie Doo Run Run was always drawing people there when he came. He also taught drawing at one of the Recreation Centers here in the Villages. His birthday is today but he had passed a way back. I did wish his wife a Happy Birthday for him up there as she had done the same on Facebook . I see him still drawing people and chatting amiably.

I do not know if he was on Talk of the Villages as usually only knew that if they told me they were on here. A few of them were that I am aware of. And not for nothing.
