    Whilst it's occasionally mildly entertaining I don't think it's good for their mental health to encourage them.
    I don't think it's true that they eventually go away. I might have thought the same in the past but I've not seen any evidence of it being true. What actually happens is that they fill the void with more fanciful guff.

    I'd say it's better that many different people call them out until it becomes too overwhelming for them. But I can understand why most people don't have the energy for that.

      I strongly suspect both Claude and Feathers are so ill-informed about practically everything that's important whilst having an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of complete guff is almost as vast as yours is.

      I'd be confident to take odds of 5-1 on that both having rolled a sleeve up, just like you.

        You can do better than that cliche, surely?

        I'll be delighted to debate you on any theory you have a disliking for.
        The warped logic that has led to your conclusion from this post that I’d like to spend time debating with you, is the reason I‘ll pass, thanks

          Organ cannot debate. He'll post something he found, get a response to it, and then reply to that by calling that person thick.

          Exactly as he did above.

            I rather think the real reason you will choose to pass is you believe you'd get demolished in pretty short order.

            That was gauntlet throwing.

            C'mon, pick it up. As Delia Smith would say: "let's be having you."

              I can't debate?!

              I've ran rings around you so many times at this forum it's a wonder I didn't suffer dizziness.

                Sadly, lads, it's time for my medication, but I shall return this evening for more jousting.

                  Just a scenario,
                  You're on a commuter train, a journey you do every day for about an hour. You've been doing it for a long time.

                  One day, a person gets on who you haven't seen before. They start ranting very loud about something and nothing. A lot of it doesn't make a huge amount of sense. You raise a knowing smile to others on the train. We've all been there. Eventually its time to get off, and you feel a slight relief that the passing irritation is at an end. You go off to work and it doesn't affect your day.

                  You get back on the train to go home and disaster - They're there again. Although this time, shouting louder. You keep quiet because you start to think it could be drug-related or a mental condition. It's only an hour, so you ignore them. You turn your headphones up but they're shouting louder. You turn them up again to the point they hurt your ears, but you can still see the contortions of their face in your peripheral vision.

                  The next day they're there again. And again. And again. Shouting the same nonsense. You've ignored them and concentrated on other things but now they're waving banners, wearing a t-shirt and jumping into every conversation you have to tell you about something you've got literally zero interest in. Lots of people are irritated, many people feel uncomfortable. The train conductors are aware and notice that less and less people use their train, but they're sensitive to the fact the person could be unwell

                  Should you:

                  Stop using the train yourself
                  Keep ignoring said person
                  Talk to the person thereby risking your own sanity
                  Hand the person some leaflets but risk offending them
                  Get in touch with the train company and arrange a special carriage on the train where they can rant and rave and have others who wish to join them do so to their hearts content
                  Leo fortune west
