Feeling abused and offended is irrelevant in my view Being followed from thread to thread to be insulted is just disruptive, a nuisance and annoying for everyone ... better to not post and just lurk it seems. Rog No, far better to ignore, you were missed! Agreed. Withdrawing is not the right solution. The logical outcome of doing that is other posters become more prevalent. It's basic maths. Not complicated at all. Keep adding interesting content otherwise repetitition will kick in. Fast. Another symptom of a smaller number of posters is that conflicts will get going easier. Dilution is the key. More people to post more interesting things and forget about the nonsense. Isn't it. I know that all social network systems will eventually go to facebook but they are just in it for the money and are happy to destroy your children for profit. They don't give a shit. I've said this for years and years nothing new and now it starts getting talked about. facebook and their WhatsApp and Instagram buyouts will fuck the place badly. Avoid. Seriously, this is not going to go well when you realise these kids are going to be in charge of things. What the heck is going to happen here just for some scumbags to make millions of pounds an hour? Bad news. And... Relax.

However, in the context of an Internet forum, one can choose whether to be abused and offended, or not. If the choice is to not be abused nor offended, the whole thing becomes a non-event and normal service resumes. If the choice is to feel abused and offended, things escalate. Feeling abused and offended is irrelevant in my view Being followed from thread to thread to be insulted is just disruptive, a nuisance and annoying for everyone ... better to not post and just lurk it seems. Rog Rog, I've followed a lot, but when I see your tagline, along with Stabby and Twerp, and now Andyberg, whatever comment any of you post is always aimed at TD. Not in the content but in your tags, so he carries on, you carry on, it will never end. Kris and TD obviously have their own war, and whatever else has been said, Ricco (Son of Greta) has made his point and subsequently stayed out of it despite others not being satisfied with his explanation. Tony's battle with CaRT is not yet finished, and I doubt it ever will be but it will die on its own with the demise of one party or another, (and it won't be CaRT) In the meantime, there is still much life in the forum whether it be serious, technically helpful, gentle (or even not so gentle) joshing that will prevail and be enjoyed by many.

I don't see any forum signatures or status lines on my phone as it defaults to the mobile version which thankfully cuts these bits out.
If what you say is true then that is definitely dodgy and not healthy.
ETA I personally think it is perfectly healthy for people who actually know each other to have ongoing conflicts but for people who have never met it is better to keep these brief and on topic then carry on afterwards as usual.
Some posters might think I have taken against them but in reality everyone I have met has turned out to be alright. No problems. And anyone I have not met but have rubbed up the wrong way it will always be a temporary thing related to the subject at the time.
That's my theory and I'm sticking with it.

Their posts are annotated with references to The Goon Squad, Noddy Boater, Purveyor of Vacuous Content, Vacuous Moron, Mindless Scum. If that doesn't perpetuate the drivel, then I don't know what does.

The only one I had linked to the topic was the twerp username and of course the posts on the narrow escape thread which reference some nicknames.

Yet rather than criticise the person throwing insults the victims are criticised as being provocative, baiting or bullying. Rog

I think brummieboy has a really good point myself. Didn't know about it as my phone doesn't display these things. If you are genuinely bothered by insults from another side then you need to absorb, think and respond as you see fit at the time then place the topic in the fire. Not easy but really worth doing.

If you are choosing not to be insulted then why use them? I think they can be interpreted as provocative, baiting and bullying in the same way you see Tony's posts. I have no argument with any of you and will enter no further comment on this thread.

Not enough people contributing interesting posts about toilets.
This is the problem. Until the situation has been relieved and regular contributors start to get back to the normal routines it will be crap.

Including insults that have been hurled at you in your signature is a way of brushing them off as materless. Sticks 'n' stones.......

The recipients turned dunk's most vitriolic insults into a joke which dunk is ultimately the butt of - good. And another thing - yes, it is dead. Deader than Corbyn's bid for PM actually. ETA and why did he start flinging insults around? Because not everyone agrees with him. Actually, maybe he is the Messiah. Most people seem to intone the words 'Jesus Christ' on his approach and 'thank God for that' as he departs.

In particular I think "Noddy boaters" is not a Tony Dunkley saying per se ....... Noddy boats is a common term for narrowboats used by many commercial barge/tug people.
I certainly have used the term noddyboater (and had it used about me) since coming oop North.
Just as my small "splitter" or "yoghurt pot" is so named by the Noddyboaters
