There are essentially NO RULES and I'm attacked and hammered and slurred and mocked daily now.
Thus, I decide OK, I'll RETURN THE BULLSHIT IN-KIND.
For the last several years I've been pretty good about not replying to attacks with attacks.
I just report 'em and go on my merry way, smug in the knowledge that they'll be gone shortly.
BUT NOW...
I did what you did - fed up with attacks I went on the offensive. And in no time both of us were limited too 2 posts per day on that board for two weeks. His pumper buddies are attacking too, but with only 2 slugs per day to defend myself, I have to choose my targets carefully.
