Chris, you know that Martin Gibson? I'll give you a little advice.
At a zoo there was one particular chimapnzee, who, for some reason, had this habit of flinging his faeces at people if he though they were threatening him, and some of the group started copying him, but most of them wished he would stop, as the faeces ended up in their food.
Over time, a group of people came to see these chimps again and again, and they gradually started to stop seeing everyone as a threat, and so started behaving a bit better, But every now and again, someone comes along and bangs on their cage and shouting and such like, and then this chimp would go back to his old habits.
So the zoo put up a sign saying "Do not bang on the cage or you will end up covered in shit."
