I doubt that has happened.

I have stopped replying to the troll, as I think several others in the
list have, however it seems that there are several people who have
started replying, who don't normally post that much.

I only reply to the replies, judith is on auto-ignore and I don't
even download nuxxious emissions any more.

I'll stop feeding him - which one is he from the above list?


I hadn't realised it was moderated - are you the moderator? When are
the next elections?

helmeted cyclists are more likely to hit their heads; other evidence
suggests that helmets are largely ineffective against the rotational
forces implicated in the worst brain injuries.

What about the direct reply a few posts ago?

Do you not consider replying to the replies to be contributing to
extending the thread in which she partakes by prompting replies? It's
just as much part of the noise.

I came back to this group after a fairly long absence only to find it
largely unreadable without heavy filtering. It's sad to see people who I
have a lot of respect for contributing to the "death of this group".

Indeed. To the point where I'd resolved a couple of days ago to stop
replying to inhabitants of the Bozo Bin via other people's posts.
Should have done it some time ago, my apologies to the folk not staying
under bridges themselves for not.

Pointing out to 3rd parties why the 2nd party is a Bozo is still helping
to fulfil said 2nd party's need for attention and to be a PITA.

I will not have trolls starved to death. It's inhumane, cruel and
unnecessary. a few snippets a week is enough to keep any troll happy,
with its coat in good condition, its eyes bright and clear, and in good
psychological form. Malnourished trools have psychotic tendencies, bald
patches, rave and foam at the mouth.

Hello - Guy - I've squarely refuted your lies re the passenger/driver
question.

Any comment.

Oh - I suppose you can pretend you haven't seen it - that'll be the
easy way out for you.

I saw the quoted text and went back to comment, as did Ian Smith.
