Subject: BS: In-tour(n)ette syndrome?
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics -- involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way.

Have you noticed it happens here some times? There are posters who seem to lose control of their movements and vocalisations when responding to other posts. Usualy resulting in bouts of pointless negativity and insulting comments? I am assuming it is involuntary as no-one would purposely come out with the type of comments I am thinking of would they?

I think we now have a term for it.

Intournettes syndrome.

I don't have a cure but I have a feeling that someone will soon:-)

Cheers
