I don't think they have ruined it
it's not what it was sure, but that's not down to the trolls. It's not down to the mods to do anything, they aren't babysitters, this isn't mumsnet. But if people cross the line they get banned.

The root of my point is that posts like yours up there aren't trolling the trolls, it is feeding them, and in a feeble way at that.

I have nothing against you, I've very much enjoyed your stuff in the past. I don't tend to care if stories are made up or whatever (or embellished as I suspect yours were) but seeing a lot of posts along the lines of yours up there^ each week is what is damaging QOTW for me.

If the mods were to do anything to improve this place,
which they don't need to, but if they were, it'd be to ban Legless and all the other obssessive needy pricks who piss and moan every time someone takes the piss a bit.

You Mean
ban me for taking the piss?

BTW - You can't take the piss out of shite. Fact.

You do manage an awful lot of sweaty-fisted angergrams when you get riled up - any thread featuring you is likely to be at least 60% tedious, alarmingly-stupid drivel.

But of course, what better way to bemoan the ubiquity of moaning on QOTW, than delivering said moan via the medium of moaning on QOTW?
