2 New mods to keep the trolls out would be nice but the changes of Asa getting two more are pretty much slim.

Why do I find it hard to disagree with that sentiment?

Me too.

I have a soft spot for Scotland's Jackie Bird, others seem to love the blessed Moira.

But when these trolls do *nothing* but obsess on the clothing, schooling, airtime and even partners of presenters then I start to feel uncomfortable.

With the best will in the world I find it difficult to perceive this behaviour as normal (whatever normal is on a presentation forum), and in fact it strikes me as particularly unhealthy. I don't think the Barry George comment is overstating it.

Why would winifred come back to repeat her behaviour immediately after being banned? Does it not strike you as odd that she doesn't understand that if she is not welcome in a community then there is no point in being there?

Perhaps I should locate her at Edinburgh Uni and ask these questions myself.

Or did I speak too soon..... ;)
You are one of the worst! :roll:

I am glad Winifred has gone, maybe we could make a bank holiday.

I think we need a slogan for this 'Trash the Trolls' campaign!
