That is pretty much what I just posted in the shout box. He obviously has some serious issues and just wants attention. If we don't give him that attention he hopefully will go away. I banned his IP and Email. The only thing I didn't ban was his username, Billy. Only because someone else may wish to use it and it is also a common name, and the name of an RE character so it is very possible someone else may want to use it. The problem with IP bans, is they change a lot. Most providers have a whole group of them that they use, and they can switch many times while you are online. Mine has switched as I've been surfing the net. I agree with it being sad that many feel this type of behavior is acceptable. It isn't. I blame the parents. Now sure, some parents try and their kids just act up. But many times when you see this type of behavior the parents just aren't involved in their children's lives. They let them run wild as it is easier than actually trying to raise them properly. This is an especially sore topic with me as I have 3 children and there is now way on God's green earth that I'd ever allow such behavior. Sure someone could say that the parents just don't know what their kids are doing online. When I hear this I have to ask why not? I happen to know all the sites my kids visit, their usernames and passwords. I monitor their time online, and occasionally check to see what they are up to. I allow only 1 pc in the house, which is kept in the living room, where I am usually at and I can see what is going on. It is time that parents take control back and actually raise their children to be productive members of society instead of a bunch of thugs. I really dread what my children will have to face when they have children if this doesn't happen. The scary thing is these type of kids are going to be in control of the world soon. And for me this is a scary thought. Now that I've ranted long enough I shall stop.

Thank you, I try to be. I'm not perfect, but at least I try. My kids are good kids and will be the first to tell ya that while they don't like being punished (which I rarely have to do), I only do so when they deserve it, and because I want them to grow up to be good people. My kids know they can come to me and tell me anything. Even if it's bad, that I will listen and be fair. I've always told them, that you may get in trouble, but it won't be as bad if they are honest and tell me the truth. But should they lie, all bets are off. Then they feel my full wrath, which I'm happy to say, I've rarely ever had to do. My kids always tell me the truth. They know I'll find out if they are lying because I am involved in their lives and know what is going on with them.

Sounds like my mum Thats good by the way. My mum is great. Although I have to say if anyone told my sister or I off as children it was my mum. She was always the bad guy when we had our little tantrums! My dad could do no wrong.. then again Im a bit of a Daddy's girl so my dad can never do anything wrong with me. But my gosh when my dad shouts at you you stop being an idiot...coz its really unusual for him to shout.

I'm glad he's looking into it, as now the forum pages seem odd. The index pages are all whopperjawed... (Yep, tis my new word of the day. ) I felt the same about my mother. Before my father died, I was a daddy's girl. I was still being spoiled by him till the day he died, just nine years ago. My mother was the disciplinarian, and my dad almost always lifted whatever mom did. But as I grew up and had children of my own, I could see that she was really just trying to make us listen and behave. To be good people and not a bunch of punks or bums.
