No football players, basketball players, olympians, tennis players or any other sport that I follow. No one has died! Fred is FOS!

And has been for a long time now. You's think at some point he'd move on but it's obvious he has no life except to post conspiracy theories on Ihub related to Covid.

My suggestion is quit feeding the animals at the zoo.

‘Don’t feed the trolls’ really is good advice – here’s the evidence

....Trolling behaviours typically include deliberately posting inflammatory comments and argumentative messages in an attempt to provoke, disrupt and upset others. “Trolls” may pretend to be part of the group, but their real intent is to create conflict for their own amusement. ....

....Fighting back

Happily, this discovery suggests an easy way to deal with trolls: ignore them, rather than giving them the satisfaction of an angry reaction.

Individuals seeking a negative social reward may still engage in trolling. But if they don’t receive that negative social reward, then their motivation to engage in this behaviour will likely diminish.

So it appears that the classic internet adage really does hold true: don’t feed the trolls. Deny them the pleasure of an angry reaction, and they’ll probably leave you alone.
