There was a bit of drama that still gets me giggling, though I forgot the details a long time ago. Perhaps someone can help me.
There was an argument on a thread which descended into pretty severe abuse from at least one of the antagonists. I think that the fight was between a newcomer and one pretty well-established Barrowdowner. I do believe that the veteran was simply trying to debate in a calm manner but the newcomer was having none of it—taking things extremely personally, etc. It ended with the newcomer saying this (paraphrased slightly):
"If you don't like my point of view, then UP YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The posts were swiftly deleted by a moderator and that troublesome newcomer was never heard from again (I think). The veteran, to the best of my knowledge, shrugged it off very casual like. Anyone else remember this? I can't remember such violence on the Downs.
Not exactly merriment but very funny all the same.
