Without naming anyone, I have strong suspicions about the source of this misery.
A couple weeks ago I was in a particular LGS that had on-site personnel with a particular political action petition I supported, ready and available.
Since I live rural and don't see these often, I reviewed the petition and it seemed in order. I signed. Haven't done such in similar circumstances for over 30 years.
This may have been mistake. My email has been deluged, within days, with a large and increasing load of what I regard as spam/junk/propaganda/request for financial support/ from the extreme opposite of my personal opinion spectrum.
Some of these sites I consider outright lies and misinformation.
Despite the efforts to 'unsubscribe' the flow increased. Out of town for 5 days, my in-box held nearly 80 of these.
I am reviewing my spam/junk mail filters. Certainly I will not sign another petition, as I believe that particular moment triggered the cascade of unsolicited junk.
While possible, very unlikely is that someone I know was in some way upset or mischievous.
Beware your own actions.
