Sorry joshing. I’ve been the victim of a coordinated campaign and everyone can see that, including the perpetrators. The posts are removed but I have them - you would be shocked at the number and the content.
Last weekend alone (2 days) 42 posts were removed. 20 were mockery, 22 were deeply offensive and 12 were just disgusting.
In total there are over 200 such posts in a very short time frame. These are (mostly) coordinated, consistent and highly offensive and dehumanising. They clearly show a course of conduct.
Slagging each other off, within limits, is part and parcel of internet forums I guess. Persistent vitriol, I’m sure most decent people will agree, is not acceptable. Where do you draw the line between forum rudeness and criminal acts?
I have tried not to engage with any of them, particularly when the abuse starts. Last night I let myself down by getting in to a debate and ended up complicit in spamming the thread for an hour. Apologies again.
How a small group of adults (I assume) can behave in such a coordinated way is beyond me.
Back to IMM 🙏🏼
