The last 36 hours have been beyond ridiculous. Threads in this forum during that time have spanned hundreds of posts, with lengthy periods of no one posting proof of anything. That stops.

From now on, if anyone posts anything about Bennison, or Harding, or Clark, or anyone else in that group that is similarly devoid of proof, it will be deleted. If the poster persists in posting allegations without proof, s/he will be banned, temporarily or permanently in the discretion of the moderator doing the banning. And proof is not "someone told me", or quotes from other forums about the miscreant's misdeeds.

Put up or shut up.

Oh, okay, I'm coming anyhow, but you don't want to be on my "invisibilate list" when I get there....

I completely agree and i am also a little ashamed that i failed to just ignore the posts and contributed to the waffle that was posted and infantile fighting that took place, for that i appologise.

Sometimes it can be difficult to heed the advice of "don't feed the trolls", I've done it myself previously on other forums. Nobody got hurt by it, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

Been there, done that.

However, I believe the attitude of those supporting unqualified, unlicensed, quasi-professional "Legal" advisers is problematic to me in general, even more so when they are charging for their work. While idiots like JimmyW spout his advice for free, anyone with a modicum of intelligence should realize he is an idiot. However, those that charge for their "Legal" assistance, disgust me.

Just glad things have calmed down, and thank Wes, AW, Gregg, and the rest of the team for reigning it in, and forcing the points.

Good stuff, that was a series of flame wars posing as threads.
