I know you're not talking about trolls here paolo but maybe a bit of mix and match. Ignore function plus old fashioned way

the back half of 2015 was just a shitfest in d and
several were to blame, me included, and a few of us recognised that. Ignore wasn't working, people would pick sides and it was a mess
Me and Zambo were at each other's throats, and after a while, how many times can you call someone a cunt, or try to beat them in an argument, so we just said, let's completely ignore each other for the good of the forum, if we had anything to say to each other, it was said in pandy or via pm
guess what, it worked...instantly, no egos bruised, it just worked, and after a while, i started to read his posts without the "it's zambo, so i disagree before i have read anything" attitude, i dare say the pair of us, given the chance would have had a set to (maybe in a petrol station

), whereas now we get on fine with our forced break and everything is cool
but it takes two for that to work, if one is determined to troll or whatever, it just comntinues
me and zambo did that because we were part of the problem with d and d at that time, and i really can't understand why others, when it affects the forum, don't do it
when people say 'fuck off cunt' 'die' etc etc, they are the bad guys, but there are other ways too, the snideyness, the constant comments, the jibes.....simply two cheeks of the same arris, i just dont have the time or inclination to respond in some longwinded way, i find it simpler just to say 'fuck off....' etc
some in the cheapseats just add fuel to the fire in some cases
i liken it to footy teams, an arsenal supporter would rather lose to man united than see spurs win
same mentality here, people side with others just to get a few jabs in at folks they dislike more
i doubt that much will change, mark went soft, zambo went hard, carlos lies somewhere in the middle, but the people never change
2017? maybe the same as the previous dozen or so years
