Good point, thanks Ellen, I did unblock. I've decided to slog it out with them. We know we have to win when we have truth on our side, as we do, they don't. Eventually they have to just give in and disappear, like you say, they are gremlins, anonymous, not real. This profile that never published a single story and still has only 7 followers, after years in Medium, has to be fake, maybe a sleeper kept in reserve for when targets are identified. Might be a kind of honor to be targeted I suppose. Hey-ho, will soon find out :))
