    I don't know how many more times you need this explaining d.edna, but your puerile ripostes, of which 'shut up troll' is merely the latest, require no intelligence whatever and do NOT constitute an argument. I welcome debate, and have freely disagreed with people on these forums without it getting hostile (read my posts for yourself if you wish) but there are a small number of posters, some of which appear to have been seen off recently, who are unable to form a coherent argument so resort to personal insults. You are one of them, and probably the most persistent. I have not once told you to 'shut up' or made personal insults, I have simply dealt with your postings using measured debate. When you can do the same, then we'll have a real discussion, how's that?

    For those that care about my career

    I am 27, I started work in tesco at the age of 16, So know the departments well, I did my degree when I turned 18, did a year in industry last year, started my train driving training, Qualified 3 weeks ago, Started at a big TOC.

    Happy now.

    Takoda, are you really that obsessed boy?

    So what did you do for 6 years after leaving uni. Apart from the year in industry?

    Isn't using the word 'career' stretching the imagination a little?

    If you think I'm a troll, d.edna, then present your case, don't just make empty accusations.

    I have given reasons I suspect you may be trolling, but I am intelligent enough not to jump to that conclusion when I don't know the full facts. Your only possible reasoning for your accusation is that I often reply to your posts - well there is nothing suspicious about that at all, it is simply that I go on roughly the same threads as you and refuse to let your posts, which I regard in many cases to be, among other things, unhelpful, negative or juvenile, pass by without comment.

    So that's that answered, what will you come back at me (and all the others who dislike your style of posting and have said so) with this time?

    If it's just to insult me or accuse me of being a troll without any rationale, might I suggest another tactic? You could just ignore me...

    I think we've all had the "stop following me" post. Despite the fact that we all post on the same boards.

    Self-opinionated troll I think.

    I’d never put edna on ignore, I can’t resist the opportunity to rectify the mistakes within the replies.

    I certainly wouldn't put her (is it her? or him? no matter anyway) on ignore either. But I did ask her to put me on ignore in two different threads and I presume she has now done this.

    Like you, I do find it extraordinary that she's holding back on an offensive comment, it's rare that her comments are anything but. She must realise she's cornered by people who can pull her argument to pieces without resorting to insults.

    I don't think getting into an argument with d.edna is worth the bother.

    Why get into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent?

    Does anyone else think there is a similarity between dedna and the now departed uktim?
