'She' is not a 'she'. And yes, 'she' is now in the killfile. |

It's simple enough to just ignore unpleasant or off topic posts, shirley? |

So stop responding to silly and tedious posters, because you're never going to "win" those arguments, no matter how "right" you are. Either ignore them or use a killfile. Post on-topic discussion. It was a few "cycling advocates", who found themselves unable to ignore trolls, that made this group such a mess in the first place. There's no need to organise a "reclaim the group" campaign, just exercise a little self-restraint. Or carry on wrestling trolls, but don't expect anyone to want a sensible discussion with you. |

Although the local specimens do seem to have impressive energy, trolls can't keep going on alone forever. They thrive here because too many people are congenitally incapable of letting it go. FWIW, I don't think urcm is an improvement. Bit like moving from Damascus to Pyongyang. |

What about all the anti-motorist hate, what do you propose to do about that? Hate is hate after all, and it breeds hate. What about the anti-motorist taunting eg "here's a nice new cycle lane that motorists paid for"? What about the frequent abusive filth posted by cyclists? If you want to "take the group back" then the first place to start is by discouraging and condemning all kinds of "anti-ism" no matter who it's from or who it's against, not just condemning the prejudice and the posters that *you* personally don't like. With such a partisan attitude and massive blind spot you might as well apply to become a moderator on the original UKRCM. |

FWIW, I don't think urcm is an improvement. Bit like moving from Damascus to Pyongyang. Yes they can keep on forever. We need a more proactive approach than to simply believe they will go away. I am working on ideas. It won't work, as in the Trolls won't go away, but a simple set of suggestions, guidance and a list of them will help to isolate their behaviour. Needless to say, some posters will continue to engage with the. Deal them similarly. I'm with you. I think a recommended kill file list posted to the group once a month, with the individuals on it discussed and approved by majority poster response would be a good idea and a great piece of fun. I would certainly add my support to Pounder's request for a place on the list. Otherwise it seems a pretty reasonable start. We could even come up with the idea of temporary naughty step inclusion on the list for posters who reply too much to shunned posters. It could be like a anarchistic version of urcm ;o) |

I disagree: I don't think people kill-filing Crispin and ANOther would make any difference. I am unsure who is the second person you are talking about. |
