I used to enjoy the Penelope Cunk segments on Charlie Brooker's "wipe"s, but it's since developed that the interview subjects are in on the joke (In fairness they could hardly be otherwise these days) and in essence, acting.

It's sort of spoiled it for me, like staged reality shows.

@ryansingel My mum used to make spaghetti sauce basically by combining tomato paste with packet of seasoning mix whose principal ingredient, IIRC, was corn syrup solids. And then she'd throw in a bay leaf.

Took me half my adult life to learn to appreciate food.

The administrator of your instance can block other entire instances as a whole, on behalf of his/her users. That's the extent of blanket banning.

Is there a word for Star Trek fans who really only like the original series and cast, one or two of the films based on it and maybe the cartoon?
