To address your post, HOTPE,
I noticed a change in him within a year of Pam's passing. Sadly, I don't think he has recovered from that yet. However, losing a loved one several years ago (she passed in December 2019) doesn't entitle someone to always get a free pass on their own potentially antagonizing or demeaning posts...especially if said person is initiating the antagonizing.
If there were multiple deleted posts by a troll who is 'torturing' Tom on a regular or irregular basis, I have not seen evidence of this. If someone deletes their own post, doesn't it get changed to 'this post has been deleted? Tom has advised others to ignore trolls....he should do the same. If I were Tom and I insisted on engaging with those troll posters, I would start taking screenshots of the troll posts for evidence.
Like many of the rest of us of a certain age still in the workforce...he is concerned about keeping his job. If I were Tom, I would be consulting my financial advisor about my situation and looking at other related job opportunities if retirement isn't an option. Perhaps he could teach some classes.
The above is just my opinion based on my own observations and life experience. It saddens me to see him on what appears to be a somewhat self-destructive path.
