    You and a small bunch of people here (who mindlessly thank each other all the time :) ) act together to jump in and berate people like the OP - as I've already said to your ringleader and self-publicist dunstonh today at least once, you seem intent to ignore Martin's golden rule of:

    "There's no such thing as a stupid question."

    If a newbie like the OP posts something, then in future perhaps you and the rest of the "gang" here on this thread could at least ignore it, rather than steam into them, as has been done (yet again) here.

    "There's no such thing as a stupid question."

    However you prove that there is such a thing as a stupid poster.

    Err, that's a somewhat surprising comment dmg, considering you made supportive comments on the thread where the question of dunstonh's bullying was first raised by a newbie? (and thanked several of my posts) :confused::confused:

    Report as much as you like. I think I have every right to react as I have with the accusations and abuse you have fired my way today. All of which has been reported by a number of people.

    The funny thing is that the most abusive person posting on this board at the moment is you. Not many posters manage to make fascist comments, false accusations of rule breaches and manage to be rude and abusive all in one day but you have.

    For reference, its not just this and the other thread in this section where the troll.op is acting up. From post #74 on this thread gives you more info:

    I just like sharing the love ... ;)

    edna, I'm afraid I don't recall the thread that you are referring to. I don't think I agree with anyone on here 100% of the time, but I do know that dunstonh and others 'in question' devote a lot of time to giving excellent advice on MSE.

    It gets very tedious for more 'seasoned' members on here, when the same questions are asked over and over again.

    There is no such thing as a silly question, but there is such a thing as a lazy poster who cannot be bothered to use the search facility (OP, that was not a dig at you, just a general observation).
    Gone ... or have I?

    Have just had a look, and on the thread that you are referring to E_B we weren't talking about the Mortgages board, and dunstonh hadn't even posted on there at the time that I made comments! x
