Well, to be fair, we get pretty hacked off with invaders of our space. At least I do.

There's invading and just spouting random abuse (like the schoolkids do), and there's invading and being deliberately provocative. Lots of people on Pistonheads are guilty of being deliberately provacative at times (Benno and possibly Pupp & Chassis spring to mind).

I don't mind people playing devils advocate. People don't have to bite. It's when the quality of the posts is low (as tends to be the case from schoolboys) that I get annoyed.

I do think that some of the Hourse and Hounds stuff may have gone a bit too far now though. Some of it is just outright abuse, which isn't too clever (or funny).

Would that be on the web site soon to be renamed "Pet Food Digest"?

Oh by the way - when you get to the Talkback title page on "Rendering for Beginners", why is that bloke sniffing the horse's ear? Is he supposed to be talking to it, is that the gag?

Looks like a case of Muffin the Mule to me - you can get five years for that.

Ted, have you considered the possible backlash against this site when (inevitably) the H+H people figure out where the abuse is coming from. Some already know, and I'm sure there are people from this site who are pi**ed enough to tell them.

I fear it won't be long before we are invaded by a bunch of irate H+H types. Won't be good for business if your site turns into an open slanging match.

Not sure what you can do about it though.

You're right - we should all quit now while were ahead, before they start pissing us all off in here!!!

I'm probably the most vocally pissed off here, but it's not with the H&H invasion. Don't confuse frustration with some peoples approach to horses on the road for sympathy for H&H people....

I can't see anyone from here telling the H&H people where their invaders came from. Although their webmaster might take a look at the referrer logs and pistonheads is likely to feature highly.

You evil, evil people

But very, very funny none the less

Perhaps a change of tack for a while - Pro-Horse mayby? Just to stir the mix a little..... Suggesting, cashback for horse manure, bringing back horse drawn milkfloats and better rates when the animals are turned into something useful (like dogfood )

Yours from Mars
