    Actually the trick would be persuading the sites that really need it to implement it..

    I'd welcome a function that let me identify plonkers like that and have all their comments made invisible.

    Maybe once the italics is stable and the clamouring for an Edit button has died down..

    It works here because we all respect each other's knowledge and experience, and that wasn't being done.

    Totally agree. I have to say it actually wasn't a nice experience imitating the childishness even briefly. I had expected post-telling-off good behaviour to last longer than a day, so it was disappointing to see the same bad faith niggling creeping back in - without the slightest provocation.

    I don't understand why anyone would feel compelled to adopt that as a permanent communication tactic, but I'm thoroughly sick of it as you all may have gathered and it really does affect the standard of behaviour that people see as sanctioned if there are no consequences. I'd love to know if Rich Shera made such a brief appearance here because of the tone - and it's a bit embarrassing the way Patrick has been treated more recently.

    If someone has proven time and again that they simply can't act like a grown up, then they deserve banishing to hang out with their similarly rude peers. You know it's what would happen in a real-life situation so I don't see why it should be different here. Having said all that, it's clearly Russell's decision and I'll respect it.

    perhaps if piracy was stemmed then media providers would pull finger to supply legitimately in the ways people want.

    there have been some really good suggestions on how that might be implemented

    Please do elaborate on those suggested solutions..

    I doubt that RIAA and others have been promoting the word "theft" accidentally.

    So what are you going to do about it?
