So, I'm curious now - what reputation are they damaging ?

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

I can't go into any grest detail about the case whilst legal proceedings are ongoing, but let's just say that the false allegations were highly offensive.

Just the same as the false allegations you made then tried to sweep under the carpet when I pressed you to prove it.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

:nono: I’ve told you two (You and Richard) before, to keep whatever legal dispute or feud you have with one another, off this forum.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

It happened on this forum.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

I don’t care. I won’t have it used as some petty legal squabbling you have with someone, keep it off this forum.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

I dont have anything legal going on? I'm pointing out the hypocrisy in Richards posts about his legal case when he has done exactly the same thing himself. Is that not what the topic is about, internet trolls?

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

No the topic is not about you and him and his case against you.

It’s also not going to be you arguing with me about it. I’ve given you and him an instruction, it still stands and it’s non-negotiable.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

Let's just get this clear, he doesn't and never has had a case against me. I'm not sure where you have got that from.

If the instruction stands, that's fine, but im not sure why I can't point out the hypocrisy of someone who is very vocal on these things.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

If there is a good enough reason to why this bill should be scrapped is what is stopping the likes of people like someone we know on here that will go to lengths (troll) to provoke the responses needed for people like him to then take legal actions as if it is their goal to do so. So turning the tables so it's the trolls that are the ones that can gain from this.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

You could, and have bought it up, multiple times, in different topics.
Continuing to bring it up again and again [and again] is serving no purpose now.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

I'm not sure what topics? This seemed the perfect topic of Internet trolls based on what he was saying.

You could say the same for Richard himself always bringing the conversation round to him and the constant battles he's got going on, but week in week out, it's always some legal case or complaint. Is it not fair to remind him he's done the exact thing he's complaining about?

Can the police keep us safe? is a series on Radio 4. This mornings episode explained that more and more crime is taking place online and that some websites are reluctant to pass on details to the police, which the Online Safety Bill hopes to improve:

Online harrassment also affects forum owners too.

This site is closing down because it actually started to affect the mental health of the owner (which is presumably the aim of such odious people who post such rude/nasty/negative things).

We have to stand against them.
