    eh, hang on a minute.

    not only are we talking about someone who thinks its fun to flame and troll a forum, but also someone who worries about something daft like a post-count ??
    a double-mong

    there cant be THAT many on here , can there ?
    ....................can there ?
    ok, maybe there is a slight flaw in my reasoning

    One reason I've barely posted on or even visited CUK for the last 8 months is because of the endless trolling sockies. Yes I realise that's a red rag to a bull for yet more output from the sockie creators.

    As I said on another thread if the puppet masters had their main account postcounts reset to zero maybe it would stop a few of them as that would give their bloated egos a bit of a kicking.

    Oh come on! If you post stuff like "hi I wannabee a contractor cos you earn loads of money" in a forum with the tagline "All hope abandon ye who enter here. Seriously." then you should expect a little ribbing. Or machine gun fire, if you persist.
    Noobs that post in the other fora don't get flamed unless they are obviously rude or trolling. If they do get flamed the flamer is given a kicking by the mods.
