All the armchair psychology in the world can't stop that. Just because many here think Rowland is acceptable and it is perfectly fine to take it, doesn't me we all should.

We could effectively get rid of Rowland by using our killfiles and self control a bit more - and I'm speaking as a serial offender here.

There is plenty of rudeness and confrontation that I'd like to see the back of, but I don't think much of the idea of "getting rid of" Rowland or anybody else. And I don't care for the idea of being a member of a group that wanted to do that. Daniele

James, you can't see the wood for the trees. Beaky is one of the worst offenders when it comes to winding Rowland up. -- "Telling someone to kill themselves is not harmful: it's merely me expressing an opinion.

Nice try, but you lose yet again. -- "Telling someone to kill themselves is not harmful: it's merely me expressing an opinion. You try to drive people to suicide - that's evil.
