The point is Mr McGrath, that personal abuse is becoming acceptable on this forum, multiple personas are being used by trolls to "wind people up"......The people who use these tactics, like Ian and his friends are known to admin yet they are allowed to curse and abuse those with whom they disagree on various issues.

It would be easy for any of us to adopt these tactics, it would save the time and energy spent on researching and presenting verified facts on the issues under discussion......but the purpose of the forum would be defeated.
Ian may get some sort of pleasure from responding in the way that he does, but people who wish to put a serious point are often driven away.
