I realize that it's difficult to give examples here without 
calling specific people out, but without giving examples I have 
no way to judge what your standard for "trolling and wanting to 
hurt other people personally" is. That's kind of a pretty hefty 
accusation to make without the ability to ethically provide 
evidence. I think either you need to explicitly call people out 
here or you need to formulate this more leniently, as it stands 
it's kind of like announcing "several people in this room are 
psychotic killers, I can't say who, but that's why we need to 
take urgent action."

It is fundamentally epistemically improper to demand action on 
weighty evidence that cannot be ethically provided.
