To be honest ( and I admit I haven't read the thread in question) I do think that if a poster shows themselves consistently to be a bit of a cunt it is better to try and ignore.
Once there is a 'ooooh look at me' Katie Hopkinesque tone then they're become faintly ridiculous and a bit easier to dismiss.
I have genuinely reached the point where there are a couple of posters where I just think 'you sad pathetic tosser' and only respond to stop the wankage remaining unchallenged.
But, of all the people that could upset me, they can't because they are so utterly...small.
I know not everyone can do that and I think mnhq need to look at consistently unplesant posters who dance just inside the guidelines because otherwise This Is My Child becomes pointless.
I will go and read the thread now - and will come back to withdraw this post a pile of guff...
