Maybe they're scared, one of you said there are at least 20 - 30 opposers. I looked at the member count. 124 of us.

Some of those are spambots. I IP-banned them, but didn't delete them. (I don't know if IP bans die if you delete the account and I didn't want to take chances.)

I highly suspect there's more of them that that. Joe recieved nearly 100 letters, which admittedly could have been just several letters per person but... I dunno, I doubt it.

During the war of 1812 the British army enlisted the help of natives, they dressed them up to make the US army think that they have bigger numbers. I believe most of the people sending the letters were just paid to write something threatening not knowing where they'd be sent, so that they would make Joe think there's a lot when they could be just a handful. Just a hypothesis I could be wrong.

Huh, that's actually a good hypothesis. Oreven just changing their handwriting to make it look like they were different people.

That said, no matter how few of them they are I think they still present a rather dire threat.
