Are the number of alerts from individual DUers tracked?
Call me crazy (you'd be at least half right), but I suspect this wonderful community of ours has at least a couple of high-volume "alerters."
Is anything done to monitor how frequently people send alerts and the outcomes of those alerts? Are warnings ever issued to people to cool their jets with their itchy alert trigger fingers?

2. This is entirely possible, IMO.
But who I am to judge (unless I'm part of a jury, of course)?
Seriously, I do think a few take pleasure in attempting to "disrupt."

And I was like, ‘I am not trying to sleep with her. I’m just here to protect women and support her.’ And then, obviously, after that she started yapping, and she started to walk towards me, and literally I just got up, and then I was like, ‘I’m just here to protect women, and that’s all.’"
Video of the incident showed Cloud walking toward Freedom, yelling and pointing at him late in the third quarter. Freedom stood, extended his arms and took a step onto the court as security and Sky players moved between them.
Freedom said Cloud then began using profanity in front of young fans.
"She started to yell. She started to use some very heavy language. She started to actually cuss, and I was very shocked that there were a lot of kids and that there were a lot of teenagers at that game," Freedom said.
"I just cannot believe that she was just cussing and using those F-bombs in front of all these kids. I’m sure she’s loved in Chicago and many kids are idolizing her and stuff, but that’s not how a WNBA athlete should react."
The confrontation came with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter, after Cloud scored inside and celebrated with teammate Aicha Coulibaly. Cloud then turned and approached Freedom, who was wearing a black shirt that read, "WOMAN noun. adult human female."
Last night, Enes Kanter Freedom attended a WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky. (The WNBA doesn’t use the traditional fierce animal names.) A Sky player named Natasha Cloud confronted Kanter, who was sitting near courtside:
...Quote“I’m a huge fan of basketball. I’m a huge fan of women’s basketball and I was there to watch the game and I was really excited because I’m a huge fan of the Fever. I was literally there to watch the game and then the first half went amazing,” Freedom told Fox News. “I was having so much fun with my friends and stuff. And then it was towards the end of the third quarter, Sophie Cunningham shot a three and I put my hands up to celebrate....
“Literally a couple of possessions later, Natasha [Cloud] came back and started screaming and yelling and said ‘She’s not going to sleep with you.’ And I was like ‘I’m not trying to sleep with her. I’m just here to protect women and support her.’ And then obviously after that she started yappin’ and she started to walk towards me and literally I just got up and I was like ‘I’m just here to protect women and that’s all.’”
Maybe the whole story hasn’t yet been told, but it is hard to see what Kanter did to justify being kicked out of the arena. Mostly, it reflects the political stance the WNBA is taking. They want men playing in their league, only not Enes Kanter. And not, presumably, Royce White.
For someone who confesses to NOT WATCHING See-BS, you sure do seem/claim to know a lot about a See-BS "news" product and its contents.

Stammering Dr. Oz forced to fact-check Trump amid brutal on-air grilling
By Kathleen Culliton

A stammering Dr. Mehmet Oz was forced to contradict President Donald Trump when grilled on live television Sunday.
The administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services was unable to avoid refuting Trump's recent claim amid an on-air grilling from Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation."
After much dodging, Oz admitted, "The MMR vaccine is not a lethal vaccine."

Controversial far-left streamer and democratic socialist cheerleader Hasan Piker was seen and heard mockingly singing the meme song “We Are Charlie Kirk” at a stop of his “Fear& LIVE” tour over the weekend.
The performance drew cheers and laughter from his audience but quite a different reaction online from those who supported or wrote about the influential 31-year-old conservative activist who was assassinated in front of a large audience last September during an appearance at a Utah Valley University.
Dressed in what is becoming his trademark Maoist grey suit, Piker sang, “We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We’ll fight for the Gospel, we’ll honor his name.”
A financial crisis that has long been predicted by Russia experts and Kremlin insiders appears to have finally arrived as banks see depositors scramble to pull out their money amid fears it may be seized.
In the first half of August, Russians withdrew $3.4 billion (286.4 billion rubles), according to central bank data cited by the Washington Post. That's after $7.3 billion was withdrawn in July and $4.5 billion in June.
