Mantra, mellie's behaviour is that of a troll. Trolls crave attention. To a troll, the worst thing can do is ignore it. Responding in any way just gives it what it wants and encourages more puerile behaviour.

That is true David, but it's hard to ignore Mel sometimes.

Like an insistent toddler? That's the essence of the troll.

The immature often need to learn the hard way. In withholding the lesson, do we do them any favours? All that does is encourage escalation, to the point that they earn an even harsher lesson.

Should they have to? Should you?

I can tolerate a bit, but my patience has its limits. A lot of the posts are manic and a good indication of the mindset of a fanatic.

It's bad enough that you have such a ferocious campaign from the media - but to see Mel's ravings is a big deterrant to a lot of members who want to have a fair debate - not just a one sided dirt campaign.

Others have to complain to Mozzaok or FD if they can no longer tolerate it. I think I'd prefer to have brat, Iam or Yahoon back than watch this political forum crash under an avalanche of Mel's propaganda.

Seriously, the notion of shipping water overseas is more than a little daft - given that any water can be purified locally at much less cost than shipping it across oceans...

There certainly can't be much profit in shipping bottled water across oceans to third world nations!

Even soft drink manufacturers ship cordial and empty bottles in bulk containers and add carbonated water closer to their wholesale distribution outlets...

BTW, folks, there's a heck of a lot of water involved in producing plastic bottles!

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

It was a much better quality forum before the arrival of the infamous mellie.
