It's been a witch hunt from the first post.
The first post is nothing like a witch hunt, not even close.

It started off quite innocently.
It started with the first post which stated PH is better off without these sort of posters, and the baying crowds then piled in like sheep wink

Are you sure the OP said that? Quoted below, and there are no edited by xxx at xxx on the post, to suggest he's since gone back and changed it.

You enjoy reading a thread, perhaps contribute, it's reasonably sensible and then Yipper cones on with some daft "Fact"

Is he related to Welshbeef or 300BHP?

I'm only joking as he does seem to have a wide knowledge but he's made his mark in a short time I think.

Forums are a better place with these kind of people.

I remember back in the day .........

My mistake, I apologise to Thankyou, I am off to specsavers this morning read

The thread had still been a witchhunt by many though.

Yay for Yipper! One of those quirks that I love about PH and there aren't many left these days.
Yep.

My favourite poster ever had to be that "S line luxury" bloke - it was either an excellent troll or a lunatic, but it was such entertainment.

I don't mind Yipper although I am sure he uses the viz for his answers to people's question.

No worries.

Many have turned on Yipper. Not me. I think he adds to the forums.

I've come round to him - at first I thought he was a serious troll, now I know he's just on the wind-up. He spouts utter st, but it's funny st....

Like this on the 'Tips for flying with young children' thread...

The best way with kids is to go by private jet. More space and more relaxing and few or no other passengers to annoy.
He/she/it comes out with some absolute gems in the Holidays and Travel forum.

Why must it be a wind up?
Looks like he's just saying what he thinks ( if it is a he)
Brilliant about the kids on holiday trip wobble

I made a few negative comments early on in this thread, but I've also come around to finding his/it's posts quite amusing. Some are particularly good as mentioned above.

After the posts where he's applauding car theft, I'm not sure what he needs to do to get booted off here.

On the plus side, I'm delighted the toothless and inept moderation team and management are giving us free rein to post whatever we like.

Swings and roundabouts?

Thankyou.

Here’s a snap of the first post. I started the thread. Quite the opposite of a witch hunt.

“I'm only joking as he does seem to have a wide knowledge but he's made his mark in a short time I think.

Disagree; it's (Googled) opinion presented as fact and is, in most cases, either misleading or completely wrong. Yipper is the type of person who goes to Elevenerife and his posts just clutter up the forum with waffle.

Like Top Gear, I still stick around here in the hope if might get better and every once in a while there's a few great threads but sadly the forum is a shadow of its former self these days.

It's not even useful - due to the 'no name and shame' policy you can't warn people of rogue traders or bad experiences. I can no longer trust PH as a source for recommendations.

This has always been the way since the start of PH, so there's been no change.

Not sure that's the case. Recommendations re good service/traders and good experiences are allowed, and posters always have a way of telling you to avoid certain traders etc by omission of a good review/recommendation.

If you are able to read between the clearly very wide lines it's the same as a bad review.
