Those who post (even volunteer fellow posters who should know better - like you) simply to call other posters abusive names and use foul and offensive language may receive a response (from me) if they cease this practice themselves and stop encouraging other posters to do this and publicly apolgise to our forum for their past conduct.

If they are not prepared to do this - my posting policy is not to respond in kind but to give the response these posters deserve. Which is not to respond at all.

This also prevents the issues from being buried beneath posts containing mounds of name-calling and personal abuse.

According to Joe's 'rules' - all abusive personal attacks are supposed to be deleted - but these 'rules' also now say that some animals are more equal than others.
