Mike Pearce - the fear is that unsuspecting newcomers on the thread might actually lend some credence to the idiot's self serving, attempted manipulation of the thread. Since unfortunately he did not choke on his turkey, and was unlikely ever to do so given that he spends every Christmas on his own eating pot noodles in front of the television, can I suggest that somebody assume the responsibility of preparing an appropriately worded health warning with a list of all those who have fitered the twat, and we can all commit to post the same every time he posts. I think Tombarr tried something along these lines for while, and it seemd to work.
