Wish I could but it is just so difficult not to respond to the ignorance being posted there!
I have learned that it really is totally pointless to engage with these cretins.
The problem with stuff on the Echo website is that the agenda is set by the usual suspects (the editor, one Martin McMeil, is more than just a council apologist) and to get involved in the "debate" on their website just dances to their tune.
It's probably better, if you want to get stuff off your chest, to post it on your own website and link to it from the Echo site. That way, you don't need to get involved in knockabout with the likes of "Baker Boy" or "Southend Mechanic". Just present them with your stuff.
