GOML I know, what I found the funniest was that it was such a simple, basic OP and hundreds of mnetters seemed compelled to respond. Unbelievable.

I've obviously missed a huge hooha over a troll thread. Can anyone please fill me in?

GetOrfMoiLand · 26/02/2008 13:15

that thread did make me laugh. Everytime I came on mn for 2 days it was at the top of active convos

The saucepan fetish was funny as fuck!

As for sending money, if you'd give money on the spot to a stranger in a pub selling a sob story then fine give away your dosh willy nilly on here. its a bit dumb though. Otherwise save it for people or posters you have some kind of longer relationship with.

Ooooh, an unmasking!

Boco, I understand what you mean.

GOML I think that thread reached its limit, some people bumped and bumped deliberately to ensure that - it was amusing though.

I have to say I think the recent 'incident' was blindingly obvious and anyone with an ounce of common sense would have seen through it fairly quickly. Best to just ignore rather than be insanely reactionary in either supporting or denouncing?!

Heathcliffscathy · 26/02/2008 13:12

couldn't agree more.

Re sending money. Perhaps people should be a little less hasty and remember this is an open forum on the internet. None of us may be who we say we are! It's a bit different (imo) if you enter e-mail/CAT correspondence with someone and get to know them slightly better.

oh trolls are good
creates a bit of excitement
gets people all of a tizz
what's not to like?

GetOrfMoiLand · 26/02/2008 13:11

Couple of weeks ago was a thread that went to christ knows how many posts, about a woman who was pissed off with her bro in law because her 8 month old wasn't allowed to go into a wedding ceremony. The OP got all het up - was she a troll?

In any case it was a roaring laugh.

When I was a newbie there was a load of brouhaha about Mozhe, water skiing in Barbados 2 weeks post partum. Was she a troll as well (or just a real nutter?)

Boco · 26/02/2008 13:10

I like the silly ones very much.

I didn't like the fake death - people were actually upset and it was not nice. It's a lot less serious if you're not in a similar situation though - not nice for people who had been through dv or prem birth.

Mercy · 26/02/2008 13:10

I know what you mean but some people do get emotionally involved and I think one or 2 trolls set out to do that so it is a form of taking.

It is rather compelling I admit.

ANd nobody emails me with their suspicions or copies of saved threads [boohoo]

onepieceoflollipop · 26/02/2008 13:09

You may have a point. . Sometimes I see a thread and I think "hmm a troll" - it is then entirely up to me whether I post or not, obviously. Often I just lurk and occasionally as others have said they can be amusing.

Some people are a little too vigilant in trying to "out" trolls. If someone's typing isn't perfect (not you Cod!) and they don't seem to "get" mumsnet for example. There is a newish mnetter who happens to be a little younger than most of us and she has been falsely accused of being a troll which is a bit unfair.
