Perhaps you should ask *why* he does it. There is a reason. I may not
totally agree with it, but I'm not going to shit on the bloke for doing
it.

Yet types like flatfish, who spend their time insulting, lying, and
attacking advocates, can spew crap all day, is that it? Wintrolls can drag
filth in here from aowxp, and that's okay? I don't get it.
The only ones complaining aobut Roy's posts (virtually) are trolls and
assorted wankers. Surely that tells you something.

Got to say, I disagree. Rubbish is rubbish. It adds nothing. It causes
trouble. Why should Roy stop when the trolls don't?
