Now you really ARE starting to be silly.

Everyone knows the proper way to do it is with rusty piano wire.

And Mouse found this offensive. I should have shielded his eyes but i think he had blurred vision judging by the way they were watering.

Mr Cadbury says he could do it for Mr Mouse if you wish.

He learnt to play the scale of G on the piano off his uncle Simon May.

James,

I really don't understand your reasons for starting to post on Metropol again.

In the middle of last year you suffered what you perceived to be a major personal and professional setback, when you lost your job. Quite why you wanted to tell this community about it I don't know, and - rightly or wrongly - you received very little sympathy from fellow forum members.

You took your bitterness out on other members and started posting racist and homophobic comments, and even if these were meant in a harmless or light-hearted manner, you failed to stop when asked. You then told us all to fuck off and die (or words to that effect), said you were leaving the forum, but ended up being banned before that happened. (I think that was the gist of it - please correct me if I'm wrong).

Now you're back on the forum and I genuinely hope you're feeling happier than you were back then.

However, I really don't understand why you wanted to come back here though. In the past, you have shown yourself to be an easy target for others to ridicule, and whilst I don't approve of that type of 'bullying' at all, I would have thought common sense would have told you to that you were hardly going to find people acting completely differently upon your return and would have chosen to post elsewhere on the net.

In fact, you seem to have spent the last couple of days deliberately baiting members into attacking and mocking you again. Maybe you like that kind of attention - but God knows why. I would avoid somewhere like the plague if the people there had ripped the piss out of me for years and then kicked me while I was down.

I've said I don't like bullying (or 'banter' that goes too far) but it's hard to fully sympathise with you when you have shown yourself to be capable of just the same type of behaviour.

I think you really need to change your attitude, learn from your past online experiences, and put any hostility, anger or hurt behind you before you can really expect others to welcome you here with open arms. That's if you want to be accepted and welcomed here, of course - the impresssion you're giving at the moment is that you don't.

That's my take on things. If I'm off by a country mile, I apologise. But in short, I think you need to start doing yourself some favours, and you might need to seek some help in order to do that.

That's sort of what I was aiming at trying to tell him but you have put it better than I have Si-Co

Well I'm glad that somebody has!

Let's just hope James learns from this, he seems to have dissapeared this evening, perhaps he gone away to think about his "comeback"?

I doubt it, but we can all languish in hope!

Tut, James Martin always seemed so nice when he was on Ready Steady Cook.

Si,

Thank you for your concern.

I'm absoloutey fine, I just wanted to return to this community. Although Gavin's decision was not to prove popular, I did not bank on this sort of reception.

So have you started legal action yet, twatflaps?

I see no-one has complied with your ultimatum.
