I give up

Hug?

Have you considered asking Mark Steel to help?

I hope you heart isn’t all of a flutter thinking about him.

No – but I like this off his site

Welcome

Like many of my generation, for a long time I was sceptical of internet technology. Whatever the potential, the main purpose seemed to be for bored office workers to send e-mails such as “Can people take only ONE MALTESER AT A TIME from the chocolate tin as some of us haven’t had any while others have had FOUR!!!” Or “Has anyone seen my elastic band?”

Website forums, which promised unprecedented global debate and discourse all seem to degenerate into the same nine people slagging each other off, like Eastenders with exclamation marks. There’s probably a forum for astro-physicists, in which every thread ends with someone calling themselves Black Hole posting “So – Quantum Boy upholds the possibility of string theory in a parallel universe! Why aren’t I surprised? Face up to it, your theory’s are anti-matter you tosspot sub-atomic loser.”

Oops guilty…. 😳
Just think of the joy you have brought to those with a selection of gifs and hora jokes. Think of it as a public service 😀

What exactly is going on here…?

On other forums, “call out” threads earn you a bin and ban combo…

Ooh, that’s a good idea.

I say ban him and every third poster to keep them inline/on their toes

How about the most prolific posters.

Like an intervention, that sort of thing.
