Awww leave Terry alone

He's certainly much behaved this year ... because this is nothing compared to last year for example. Just put him on ignore or his threads if he annoys you that much...

This thread is quite mean-spirited .
I'm glad I wasn't around if this is him being "better".
He's going out of his way to tweak tails. Never understood the attraction of getting off on winding people up on the Internet

I don't understand this thread.

Poster makes ON TOPIC threads and gets called out for it?

The long thread titles can be slightly off putting, but at least the poster is making threads/posts about the show - which we then have the choice of whether to participate in that particular discussion or not.

If you don't like a certain discussion, then move along. It really isn't difficult. The poster in question makes on topic threads related to what's go on on the show - we should be glad of the contribution, it opens up more discussions and keeps the place busy instead of being dead.
Why don't some of you come up with your own threads since you clearly don't appreciate the input of other posters? I'm sure you can all think up much more riveting topics to discuss!

Some of you seem to have a problem with eight threads on page one by one poster - but if there's that many threads on page one by one poster, that indicates to me that the poster knows how to open up discussion because clearly YOU are all helping keep those threads on page one with your contributions. They couldn't possibly keep threads running talking to themselves now, could they?

Also, suggesting mental health problems to someone who simply creates a handful of threads... I have no words. In fact, yes, I do, but I'd get banned - no wonder mental health doesn't get taken seriously in this country with posts like that. Despicable.
Is that your usual view of WUMs, that they up more discussions and keeps the place busy instead of being dead?

Anyway, I would certainly like a better "ignore" feature. The one we have now doesn't let us ignore whole threads -- which is something I'd like for a variety of reasons -- and it also still shows the posts that the people you've ignored are making. You just don't see what they say; and then you'll often see that too, if someone quotes them.

You have the ability to ignore whole threads: you simply don't click on them. There are no rules against starting threads. If they're on the front page that means they are getting responses so some people are interested.

This thread has been closed as it is a veiled attack on another forum member.
