Now that things have become quieter I would like to say that, if those young people ~ formerly referred to as 'trolls' ~ had joined without causing any fuss, then I think that some of them would have made interesting forum members.

They seem to be interested in politics, and could probably have contributed quite a bit to that area of the forum. Maybe, in time, it will be possible to bring some of them on board??? Who knows?

I would hope, though, that they would be willing to apologise ~ willingly & sincerely ~ first.
