Yup.

They say that the sign of a democratic society is the right to freedom of speech, and the sign of a civilised society is knowing when not to use it.
Irony overload

Still does not put you in any better light though!

I thought you said you were finished with this thread?

It beats me how or why anyone would actually post derogatory comments on an obituary. They are more than trolls, they are polluters. Opinions on lifestyle or personal choices are neither sought nor appreciated. They belong on other outlets.

It would be pleasing if the mods gave them a months ban or banning from being able to post to the thread

Banning such low-lifes would only produce whinging cries of 'censorship' and provide their immature Neanderthal ordure with validity. Mind you, after two or three repetitions in a similar vein, and each failing to elicit a response, there might be grounds for a moderate request for decorum.

How you can say that after the way you trolled the paranormal thread exposes you for what you are.

It's a shame you don't believe, as you could have maybe brought George back for a new years eve concert for us all to enjoy.

For the avoidance of doubt, I made the Hawking/Hawkins comment precisely because BigLion was giving it the Big I Am over how 'worthy' other people expressing condolences over GM was.

Personally, I rate him as a very talented individual indeed (GM, not BigLion) and would never presume to tell anyone what they should feel about anything.

PH is frequently disgraceful these days but there's no way I can let go an attempt to win at grief Top Trumps where he doesn't even get the bloke's name right.

Not an attempt to 'be smart' or derail the thread. Meant in the spirit of 'ps off' to the trolls.

Thanks for the great memories RIP.

As for all the children on here arguing over spelling mistakes and trying to be the next killer troll on PH ask yourself when was the last time you did a random act of kindness or do you need to look at google to see what it means.

I see it on this forum people offering others tools, parts etc... to help them out of a sticky situation.

Rather than adding daft comments go out and try it you never know you might feel better about yourself and not need to type random crap.
I was just thinking how crap these forums are becoming. Infantile petty nonsense.
Infantile petty nonsense indeed. I find it stunning that so many people on here maintain an evolving list of ph enemies. And even worse, seem to display a deep knowledge of their enemies' posting history which they use to fire off response when slighted. Petty, bordering on creepy.

Look at the last 2 or 3 days, for a start! Liz Smith, Richard Adams, GM, and earlier today Carrie Fisher. Now all right, the first 2 were well on in years so it's to be expected, but the last 2 weren't.

Seconded only just back in from family visits and will be a welcome bonus.
