As a side note they’re also well known for it on Digital Spy - I know one of the mods and this person is a often a thorn in the side for testing the patience of their team by posting the same kind of thing regularly.

yeah I understand but it only becomes a problem because the individual allows to it get to them. As I said it can just be ignored or with a little humility accepted.

Very true, but can easily/equally apply to either of both sides of a discussion. Something often missed when doling out the threats of legal action etc.

It becomes a problem when the poster posts provocative comments then threatens legal action (laughable) when anyone disagrees with them in any way.

It's also a reasonable reply.

oh most definitely. I think the issues most desperately to get addressed though are those that cause real harm. I think those subjected should be kindly encouraged to report it to the site owners and the site owners obligated to investigate and where serious offences committed pass information forward.

When teenaged and push so far they feel so desperate they kill themselves then I am sure everyone on this forum agrees something needs to be done

in your opinion

By belittling my opinion by calling it laughable I therefore disagree with your opinion that it was reasonable

Have I got that right?

yes pretty much.

If you were in Tesco and someone with Tourette's starting swearing at you saying obscene things would that be antisocial behaviour or a symptom of their disability ?

How would I know for certain that they’re not just milking it as an excuse? Genuine questions.

As far as I am aware those with Tourette’s exibit a visible tick when they are having an episode

If I knew someone had such a disability, you’re right, I would make allowances.

But nobody on CF knows if anyone else has a disability for certain.

But either way, disability or not, I will not stand by and allow legal threats to go unanswered.

Let me tell you something. I’ve been part of this forum for 18 years (not so much the last 5 or so as I’ve been side tracked) and in all that time I can assure you that a grand total of zero people have accused me of bullying anyone.

If I had then I’m sure the mods/admins would have a chat with me.

No such chat has ever taken place.

I’m not bullying or targeting anyone unless it can be proven they have a “disability” or whatever as you say.

My inbox is open to any such evidence if anybody feels inclined to send it.

I try to carry love and kindness in mine. But same as everyone else get things wrong sometimes.
