Notwithstanding that **Wolfscratch** has been banned, this isn’t relevant to the thread - and I also don’t want people to encourage him to come back. If this thread has run its course, let’s let it go gracefully instead of turning it into a discussion of **Wolfscratch**.

Understood and agreed, my apologies.

Is there anywhere else on this forum (not this thread of course) where it would be okay to discuss the issue of “serial-killer wanna-bes” in general, and possibly this particular blogger as a case in point on that subject? He’s put up a public blog, which, being public, is material for public discussion. I am NOT suggesting any kind of Wolfscratch-bashing thread - just a discussion about the serial-killer obsession part of his blog and of any others who post this type of stuff.
