With the possible exception of someone making a direct personal attack against me (or someone I care about), nothing anyone posts could ever really upset me. I find the petty sniping and nit-picking pitiful.

It is made worse by people mentioning the errant posters by name, and thus giving them something to gripe about.

Leave them alone, as Big Mick says, and they will eventually get bored and go away.

In the meantime, though, their behaviour is likely to get worse. That's the way children are - they find their naughtiness is getting some sort of attention, which feeds their need. If they are ignored, they become even naughtier to try to get the attention they have lost, until finally they get fed up and go looking elsewhere.

I don't think it's too much to expect all posters to exercise some adult restraint. If they can't, as GUEST just said, keep them away from electrical equipment and sharp objects...!

I suppose someone will now cite this posting as an example of someone not exercising restraint... HAH!
