Dear Patricia,
I do not have the time to read even half of the rubbish here these days and I suspect that I am not the only one being left behind. It seems to me that a lot of the abuse and acrimony spills over from this Chatroom. I have never gone there and have no desire or interest in doing so. It would appear to me that this Chatroom exascerbates the pre-existing antagonisms between various individuals.
Rather than banning various individuals is it possible to confine them to the Chatroom where they can abuse each other away to their hearts content? Allow Liz back to the Chatroom so she can keep them company. The rest of us can them get back to the serious business of getting on your case!!
