I cannot see any justification for such provocative behaviour and it undermines any credibility or moral high ground that Moscow Mule may have had.
I'm sorry to air this in public, but it needs to be said.
This forum always has been, and always will be, a random assortment of left wing, right wing, ultra left, ultra right, moderate and other assorted members of the People's Front of Judea and their various Splinters.
Sure, it gets heated from time to time, because everyone thinks they are right, and that's just human nature.
However, the trend of singling out certain people (who are just as guilty as posting contentious views as the rest of us) is getting worrying.
It's tantamount to cyber-harassment (cyber-bullying is the term for non-adults) and I do believe there was a recent UK law case where
Godfrey v Demon
Admittedly that was a case of defamation, but the Liability of ISP's goes much further.
A host has to be careful even in moderating a rude message, because under the E-Commerce Regulations of 2002 : Regulation 17 , that can be seen as "Editing Rights" which can make them liable.
IANAL, but from what I've read and tried to understand, the law of the Internet is at best grey in some areas, and black and white in others.
All this means is that we, as CUK Punters, should really try our best to make this forum a pleasant place to visit, and avoid actions that cause the webadmins and the mods headaches and stress.
After all, we are guests in THEIR house, and should behave as much.
And before anyone asks, who put you up to this post, no one.
The mods/admins adopt a policy of low-key intervention.
I just noticed that things have been getting out of hand of late (I suspect the rutting season) and thought, why wait for the mods to take action, when we can try to restrain ourselves ?
There are sometimes posts I don't agree with, but I've never felt the need to cyberstalk the OP and harass them with immature name calling.
We all have different views, and just because someone posts 1,10, or 100 posts that you disagree with, doesn't justify in treating that person as persona non grata and starting a hate campaign against them.
For that way lies censorship and the removal of freedom of speech, and once you do that, you hand the people you despise the victory of self-righteous martydom on the basis that your oppression of their views gives them succour.
Failing that, never feed a troll.
Goodnight.
