This is a perfect example of the problem.  Why the personal attack?  It 
isn't necessary.  Why didn't you just say "Why are you feeding the 
troll"?  That would have been sufficient.

Because you (the generic 'you') need to become aware that a simple killfile
filter would solve your problem. Are you unable to apply one? Do tell - I'm
keen to know.

Yes.  I do have a kill file.  That isn't the point.  The point is why 
can't people just be civil?  Why call people names?  It isn't necessary. 
  I have added quite a few people to my kill file.  You are the latest 
addition.

I very rarely killfile. That removes some of the funny stuff. Just 
ignoring a poster is usually enough.

Brad lives in Melbourne.  He was sick of the World, of Covid-19, Chinese 
belligerence, global warming, species extinction, racial tension and all 
the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy the media headlines.

Brad drove his car into his garage at home, carefully sealed up around 
the windows and doorways of his garage, selected his favourite radio 
station and left his car at a slow idle.

Two days later, his neighbour realising she had seen no sign of Brad for 
a while, peered through the garage window to see Brad at the wheel of 
his car.  Immediately she phoned emergency services. Police, fire & 
rescue, and the ambulance arrived promptly.

After pulling Brad from his car and giving him a sip of water, he seemed 
as good as gold.  Brad drives a Tesla.  It now has a flat battery.  He 
also votes Green.
