Dave tG, as I wrote before, my message was to those who feel very uncomfortable with a certain type of behaviour. I think that was the OP's topic as well.

A handful or two of Mudcat posters display this behaviour in varying percentages, and this, as you well know, includes you. You are not on my boycotting list because I am not so easy to offend. (Actually I do not have such a list; my reaction is always to individual messages and situations.)

There is nothing wrong with finding some messages "intolerable" and expressing one's anger, preferably also specifying one's reasons, preferably all in the same thread so that readers can judge by themselves.

Collective bullying, sniping, derision, trolling, etc. are different things, and offences in themselves, even if some of the victims deserve criticism as well. The effect may well be to damage the bullies' reputation and thus apparently justifying the victims.
