The issue here, now, in this strand, is not the Big Issue seller(s) and their behaviour. The issue isn't about the rights and wrongs of them standing outside Sainsbury's.

The issue is the *extent* to which their lives and existence are deemed to be of such concern to users of this forum: a concern which has raged on this forum over *five* pages, *eight* months, and 7,000 viewings.

The subject seems to be done and dusted, but every month or so the scab is picked open again.

Some of what people say may be true, some not. But as I said, that really isn't the issue any more. This is all becoming obsessive and excessive and unpleasant.
