Thread Name: BBC Radio 2 Boards And Music Racism
Subject: RE: BBC Radio 2 Boards And Music Racism
LC judges performers not by their musical ability (how could she?) but by: (a) whether she fancies them (obviously), or (b) whether or not they've had the temerity to speak out even ever so mildly against her most ludicrously embarrassing, wholly off-topic, inane excesses that threaten their credibility and careers. If they haven't (to her knowledge), she harvests them by clicking on their MySpace link, if they have one. She doesn't actually know any of these performers, plucked randomly from anywhere, nor have I actually come across any who know her, that I believe anyway. Indeed I remain convinced that she is merely a random spam generator, a program and not a person.

So, this cyber-worm, this trolling virus, starts up flaming conflicts (involving - yeah, hands up - some of us who should know better) which preclude immediately rational discussion about music, which was what we (but not she) were there to do. She's wrecked threads about tunings, copyright, dance and song origins because she finds them boring because they're not about her and her latest fad, or writing songs which reflect her dubious take on the week's social issue.

Usenet used to have the facility of 'killfile and move on'. How DO you assassinate a troll nowadys?
