    Too right. Like the Mongol hordes but without the etiquette.

    Nothing nasty has been posted , unless of course you don't like venison soup.

    I don't see why RPG's had to factor in to the earlier thread, completely off-topic imho.

    The point was, what is wrong with people's psyche's when they feel a need to adopt personas in order to troll on other forums (let alone this one) purely in the pursuit of causing others anguish and upset ?

    Someone may have commented that "yes, that's childish". It wasn't me.

    I'd call it a far lot worse than that, bordering on sociopathic.

    Watching someone slip on a banana skin may be Schadenfreude for some.

    Deliberately placing the banana skin there in the first place goes a far lot more deeper that schadenfreude.

    Calling it "parody" as if that somehow makes it alright is no excuse for the behaviour imo. That's a cop out.

    It's contemptuous, personally.

Are your really contractors though or emigres from some other forum? either way, it's keeping me entertained this afternoon - well done
    Cheers singhr. I somehow wish there was more of a commercial requirement for antagonistic barstewards as I feel my talents are largely going to waste.
