And horrible

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Well unless the op posts again we have no idea what s/he means. Probably a trolling post anyway 😀

Baby names is rife with trolls, it always has been.

People can be quite harsh with some names, all my DS’s names have had some harsh comments but it’d be a boring place if we all liked the same names

It’s often where trolls build up a posting history. Nice and easy to comment, hang about, say “ Ohhh, I’ve been here aaagges!”

People can certainly be really classist about some names. Did you get harsh feedback on a name, OP?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 31/03/2019 15:54

What trolling?

NoTNoShade · 31/03/2019 15:53

I’ve only noticed the twins troll.

What do you deem to be trolling @dave54?

adulthumanwolf · 31/03/2019 15:52

Do you know what a troll is?

Topofthehills · 31/03/2019 15:50

Are they? There are definitely a few antagonistic types, but generally I've found people range from extremely blunt to very kind and helpful.

People tend to be more honest than they would be to someone's face, but I guess that's the idea.

hmm, I am wondering where your coming from on this? if you are talking about baby names, a lot of people are jealous and don't want their favourite names becoming too popular! otherwise, just honesty tbh. depends from where you are looking at it from. x
