Anyone got any ideas? I have my suspicions, just wonder what others think?

good question. spose the obvious is a Will/william K.... but given his weird grudge against Richard Hill I wonder if that username refers more to the surname rather than the first name? might be thinking of the same person?
certainly not someone who regularly watches efc, am sure of that

There is a logical reason why he will not reveal himself, he knows full well that his constant carping and winding people up will lead to catastrophic and prolonged abuse when he attend games, fisticuffs could well arise in such situations which is not good for anyone. He is also aware he is sailing pretty close to the wind and its high time the administrator/club stepped in to tell him if he does not tone it down they will ban him. Generally speaking I ignore his remarks but it is clear he does get under some skins here and frankly it has to stop. He is a teacher FFS!!!!!!

Agree that it is time for the administrator to step in. I try to ignore but he is beyond a joke now.
Not sure I would believe the teacher bit :-)

Surely you're not suggesting another Sattsy episode?
Are you wishing to stifle free speech?
I fear of these times, when rather than have a healthy discussion, there are people who just want to shut the other side up. (See the JRM farce in a Bristol "University".]
I am one of the very few on the forum who uses their real name. This came about during the Sattsy debacle. I would like to see more people doing it; if you have the courage of your convictions you don't need to hide behind a nom de plume.I include Mr Wilk in this. Let's be brave enough to use your real names. If you are scared to say something to someone's face, don't think you should do it hiding behind a keyboard.

Difficult one this. Yes, freedom of speech is good, but surely there must be a line drawn between "banter" and insults. There are people on this forum who are not as educated as others, and when they post, they get ridiculed due to their lack of comprehension, likewise, those that do not agree with the comments/views of others are lambasted for it. This is a forum, and by default is described amongst other things as "A website or web page where users can post comments about a particular issue or topic and reply to other users' postings". No two people will have exactly the same view on things, and this is what makes life interesting.

I don't use my real name, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out who I am. (For those who can't work it out, I'm Mark Pearce!). I have no clue who WillK is, and although he post some utter ****e, that's his right. To ban someone just because you don't like their views is pathetic. This is supposed to be a forum where people can express their views and opinions. It shouldn't be a love in!

I have to disagree slightly Mark with your view that although he posts some utter ****e, that's his right. Erm when you make remarks that are personal, and on some occasions he has even compared some people in disabled terms, then that is a step over the top. So to clarify my view somewhat better, I do not object to him posting to debates in a sensible manner, but he cannot, indeed must not use comments that incense decent people.
Sattsy was banned because someone complained he felt threatened by a remark in which he said "button it pal" yet this willk character has done far worse and nothing has been done about it. Double standards come to mind here. I don't like to see anyone banned but I do not see any reason why willk cannot be put on notice with an official warning that his comments are being watched. It is not pathetic to want to see such comments not made and I think the majority of people on this forum would agree with that, if willk stops those kinds of attacks everybody will be happy and we can move on.

Totally agree with you SOE. How many complaints are needed to stop personal attacks and derogatory comments surrounding disabilities. Banter, opinions and debates are what make these forums fun, but I believe strongly that he has overstepped the mark on more than one occasion. |

Judging by his post on the Ramblers' thread, we may not be hearing from him on here for a while.
