I've been having a bad day today, so I've been sitting here reading through various threads to distract myself.
This one in particular has enlightened me, although others have confirmed it.
This "Ian" likes to play "Devils Advocate", in a nasty, amateurish (perchance childish?) manner, he takes contrary points, he regularly casts insults and slurs left, right, and centre.
Why is this allowed to continue? I thought personal abuse was unacceptable here?
Either which, from this point on I'm going to totally ignore any post he makes, and I suggest others do the same, he makes NO serious contribution to any discussion he enters and merely seeks to provoke a reaction, let's starve him of the attention he so obviously seeks?
Perhaps needs?
When children behave like this the best answer is to ignore them till they give up and start to behave reasonably, perhaps that approach will work with this one too?
So, it begins now, in every and any thread, and I invite everyone else to join me.
