Col, I have great respect for the fact this forum is run with a light touch. However, this tradition of tolerance is being abused at present.
The frog man is deliberately as inane as he can get away with and as unpleasant as he can be without being overly conspicuous. He is laughing at us, not with us. He has recently started operating through other personae, namely handsofstone and ajaxtreesdown and has started taking over threads by arguing with himself.
None of this is treasonable in itself, but it is clogging the forum with nonsense, all of it tedious and some of it unpleasant.
You ask why none of this has been reported. I contacted three of the moderators a few days ago to complain about it. They have replied saying they will keep an eye on things. I have the feeling, however, that neither the moderators nor yourself have been daily visitors to the forum in recent times.
That is not a problem most of the time because in general we are a civil bunch on here, but a closer eye is needed at the moment. As somebody else has remarked, maybe the problem will subside once again when the school holidays are over, but in the meantime we are having to put up with even more inane crap on the forum than usual and people making a real contribution are being put off.
