Exactly just use the killfile, or if you must use google, just ignore.

People ignored the Jews being bullied by the Nazis. It's never a good
decision to turn a blind eye to bullies.

According to "Godwin's Law", you've just lost the argument!

He's racist. He's never had one.

Exactly. DNFTT and all that.

Most of the replies to Jumper illustrate why I too have largely given up. Is there nowhere where people discuss the weather and the science of the weather without descending quickly into irrelevancy and abuse?

I don't like using killfiles but sometimes they are a necessary evil.

Every so often like now when the arguments/fighting/sheer abuse
reaches such a level that I really can't be bothered with it anymore
and the 'usual suspects' get dumped in there.

When it all calms down, they will be released

I can assure you I am not imprisoned by anyone's kill file.

The only prison is the one that people who use a killfile impose upon themselves. It looks like this:

Trevor,

Jumper is a Troll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll Typical of that that type of poster he has not contributed to the ensuing thread. He is only interested in creating a war of words, the more venomous the more he is pleased. The better the newsgroup the greater his success.

He is not the only troll in this newsgroup. Lawrence only posts to stir up controversy, but pretends he believes what he posts.

Dawlish is no better. Either he is a troll of he is so stupid he feeds Lawrence.

The only answer is to ignore them. Best to do that by kill-filling them as Will recommends. But others still respond quoting them, as you and I have inadvertently done. That means that persistent responders to trolls should also be kill-filed.

Don't feed the trolls.

Cheers, Alastair.

I've always had time for your gentlemanly behaviour, but during the last couple of years , you have completely gone around the bend. You accused me of being in the pay of "big Oil" and now you are talking further ' conspiracy' codswallop.

You are a typical 'whinging' Scot looking for a way to 'pay back' Capitalism (read the English) for the brutality of the Normans, that your very people gave succour to a thousand years ago.

When you accused me of being some sort of 'agent' you were so far up your own arse that a sat nav would have to have skipped battery supply and moved over to mains.

Next year, when I retire, a year early, based on state pension, I'll tell you exactly where I worked and my salary. I am the most honest person you will ever encounter

Dawlish asks you difficult questions, which you can't answer and take you bat home as a result.

Well he did say something else, although it did illustrate Godwin's Law very nicely.

And I should say I have nothing against Dawlish. Mentioning names the only person who has ever been personally and unnecessarily rude to me is someone called Weather Lawyer - but even then I might have the wrong name!

Ah but you have never had the temerity to disagree with Mr Dawlish, have you?
