You know, when Mudcat shuts down for a day, all the threads die. I often hope at the time that certain threads won't be resurrected. My hopes are usually disappointed.

One has three options (four in your case):

(1) Ignore the thread.

(2) Lustily take on the wankers who annoy you so.

(3) Whinge about the thread.

You have chosen option three. That is by far the weakest and most undignified option. If all the people who purport to hate threads ignored the buggers therein, it would leave approximately two of us rattling uselessly around like dobbers in a biscuit tin. There is one forum, an offshoot of Grief 'n' Nipple, that has been abandoned by just about everyone because of the sad Canuckistani troll who now runs it. By our feet have we voted. I recommend the approach. His game is not worth our candle. Other methods will lead to blood pressure and angst in what is not the real world. It's like pub sessions. There's no money in it, so enjoy yourself, get out or go insane. There is always the choice.
