FRNS - Is it real?

BareNecessities

FRNS, or 'Forum Ranty Nutjob Syndrome' appears to me to be a virus, randomly picked up by members of this here community. First Jeez lost his mind, followed soon after by Tommy and now it looks as if the Scottish independence thread has highlighted the latest possible victim of this awful disease.

This may have struck many times before, but it seems to me that almost as soon as one obsessively frothing, gibbering victim of FRNS has been banned, another unfortunate is soon stepping in to replace them :-(

Does this forum require there to be a victim of FRNS at all times? Are there early symptoms we can look out for? Could you or I be next?

Who knows.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
