The recent flood here has all the hallmarks of a group of very nasty
Internet trolls that call themselves "Tykesground".

They work out of a Yahoo Group named, not surprisingly, Tykesground
and have ruined many other usenet groups over the past five years or
so.

The best advice I can give is not to antagonise them as they have been
known to repeatedly email bomb anyone who criticises them.

Evidence Joe? This is a nasty troll fabrication.

uk.local.yorkshire tried to stand up to trolls, and when it got too much,
they did indeed form the Yahoo group to provide a non-Troll haven, and the
troll groups don't like it cos they can't disrupt that. Plus the recent
formation of uk.local.yorkshire.moderated has really got up the trolls noses
as well, they can't disrupt that either to any great extent.

I am a Tykesgrounder, and proud of it... Believe ye not the trolls that say
this flood is coming out of there, its a well known troll tactic to divert
the focus away from themselves onto someone else.
