It's not like we have anything else to do, anyway. Getting tangled up in an online fight? Sure - we'd love to! And then after this one's cleaned up we'll then move on to the next one - assuming that, with only 7 million members, we can find an example of someone insulting someone else.
Maybe I should start checking messages directed at CSS and see if anyone's been saying bad things to him?

Yes they have. A couple of dozen otherwise nice CPians have been hazing CSS for at least an year now. And this is despite knowing that he's mentally unstable! For all you know, the court might turn the tables and say that these people are responsible for harassing a lesser-minded individual online

To so you're aware: labelling someone as mentally unstable can be considered libel.
SOOoooooooooo.....
How about we all just move along, eh?

Wow - I didn't think of that. I suppose now that you are doing more of a corporate/management role than a technical one, you are additionally sensitive and alert to possible legal problems.

It's OK. Sean held me back and gave me a talking to. I've been doing deep, calm breathing.

Or you just google for his real name, which everybody and their dog knows, and you will find his address, telephone number and a streetview-picture of his mom's house within less then ten seconds.

Ten seconds? Come on... At least a minute or so.

That's what you'd think. But it's astonishing how there are so many people who spend so much effort and time in engaging him in conversation

I didn't.

If that's the case, I think we need more stringent controls on access from left field. Maybe a black hole...

I didn't mean you. But the Back Room forum is primarily used as a place where a bunch of CPians engage him in absolutely ridiculous debates.

He's like the comic relief for CP... Like a circus clown or a really bad mime. Come at him from that angle, and he's more funny than annoying

I gather lakequincy is related to CP, so I'm not screaming. If this is an ad hosted in the wrong place by mistake, please move it. If, however, this is the way of the future, then we need to think a bit harder about how it all should work.

The Code Project aquired Lake Quincy last year and we've just (ie yesterday!) moved all our advertising over to Lake Quincy so that Steve Smith can do what he does best, and CodeProject can do what we do best.
We'll work on getting this sorted.

I read "noscript" in his message as a <NOSCRIPT> tag.
I'm having what's technically known as a "shocker" today
My defence is it's been a big week. A really big week adding these new bugs. They don't just happen by themselves!
