This is yet another thread that will probably be locked.

And I would like to take the opportunity once again to suggest that those who don't like the way things are run here, then please send me a PM and I will recommend another F1 discussion forum where they can enjoy themselves. It's a good one, I am one of its oldest members, so I am not being nasty. Just trying to say" If you don't like it here, there are other forums to visit."
P.S. I stand by pino.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

Mark in Oshawa came in with reasonable requests being as how he, because of his job, was unable to see what went on.
I feel he has been (hope) satisfied either by PM or on here.
So let us close this thread ourselves, please.
Having either Mark or a mod do so is just going to create more problems.

Fortunately for me, I took the warnings in good faith and stopped getting mad at this guy.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

The original thread was about Button, and if anybody thinks he's unworthy of his championship then fair enough if they want to express that in a mature and sensible way. It's not an anti-British sentiment as some have made out, and to drag nationality into it seriously derails the argument.
The big problem was one particular member who repeatedly replied to congratulatory posts basically just disagreeing without ever adding any reasoning. Once he'd made his point three or four times his behaviour simply became disruptive - the very definition of a troll.
When he was called out on his behaviour he started his usual trick of playing the victim and whining that the forum was ganging up on him. From there on in the thread became an unreadable mess.
I myself had to hold back, I really wanted to tell this joker what a disruptive idiot he was being; but in the end I acted on sensible advice from Daniel and simply put the poster on my ignore list. From there on in my forum experience got a whole lot better. Sadly some others carried on arguing and, in my opinion, lowered themself to his level.
Sadly I fear that after Abu Dhabi this person will return even more determined to troll the forums starting pointless fights. Like a wasp at a picnic, if we all remember that he's harmless and ignore him, maybe he'll get bored and go away.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
