   Clearly you have suffered trauma.  So your response to that trauma is to   
   come here and be a nuisance?

   But that is not what you do.  You just get your jollies by denigrating   
   him and in the process trash these groups.  This is the first in this   
   entire thread where you have mentioned these events.  Even when you do   
   report on his indecent behavior, that does not justify the other dozens   
   or even hundreds of posts that are just you getting your jollies off.

   Only because the few of you continue to wreck this group.

   By "crap", you mean *your* crap, right?   
      
   It is entirely within your power ("your" being the collective including   
   the other few of you who argue with Gareth) to end the abuse of this   
   group.   
      
   I can see none of this is getting through though.  I really need to just   
   give up.
