Subject: Re: BAC
All of this is to say that I think words and phrases like "attack", or "attacking you", are entirely out of place here

I agree with you. Why then did I use this word? Because it was not only about the objective reality of those posts (for which this word might be too harsh), but about trying to describe a subjective feeling they together with the gazillion recs for them might have caused, the feeling of "being under attack", of "all against me".
