Trolls

[goldenlife]

AIBU to find it tedious when posters start shouting "troll" just because an OP puts down views which differ from the norm or are more articulately expressed than is customary?

link?

YANBU

can't comment without knowing which thread this is about

hmmm...you are testing my IT skills . Give me 10 mins and I will give you links.....

YANBU. I've been accused of trollery for just that reason.

Mind you, I've also been accused of being a man, and not existing, and being deluded...

goldenlife I hope you're not referring to that daft racist from t'other day

ocado or something

I lied, can't do links......

SHJ Nope, I didn't see that one, but it seems to happen a lot on threads I read. Oh, and on ones I write; I have namechanged since out of embarrassment.

Rats, I have just used a semi-colon so will probably be accused of being a journo troll in a minute.

Don't worry: if you can't do links, it's unlikely that anyone's going to think you're a journo.

roffle @ semi colon

FGS just cut and paste the web address (right up above in the long thin box) and then put one end and the other. Those are square brackets, not round, and there need to be 4 of them in total. Then it is a link. If you have the IT skills to switch on your PC/laptop/mac/phone and connect it to the internet, then you have the IT skills to do a link.

And no, YANBU . Troll hunting gets very tedious indeed.

Hassled, the very patient IT teacher

jack.....occludo!! not ocado

or the teenage underwear saga from yesterday??

I was accused of being a troll and a man the other day (amongst other less salubrious things).

I missed all the hoo-ha but feel strangely amused.

AlistairSim - But you ARE a man. You have a man's name.

Damn it.

I didn't think all you dozy wimmin would notice.

eeeeeewww yes Tiffany

I think that we should pretty much let the ones talking about Panties and tights and naked sleeping et al, just carry on until the wank themselves to actual death.*

*I don't think that at all.

And there hasn't been an awful lot of troll hunting recently, not since the whole RareBird stuff.

I've never been accused of being a troll, which suggests my semi-colon usage; is poor.

I am also hopeless at spotting them, but I don't really care - troll posts allow me to rant a bit, and then it's all deleted as if it never happened.

I dislike the posts. To me that says, 'I'm not coming right out and saying I don't believe you but if someone else should prove you a troll, I can say I knew it all along'

Troll.

Ok, ok, I admit it. I can perfectly well do links but I am too indolent to bother busy; a deadline just whizzed past for my latest article my putting the dishwasher on.

I will be gone for a bit as my fur is a bit tousled and I need to groom properly.

I am namechanging to

Troll Kalla Mik

PS I am going to look like such a twit if my strikings out haven't worked and the IT teacher will give me detention again.

So, I am incompetent after all. Is that a problem???

You twit.

Twit (strikes round every word is how to do it) - I am very about you being a troll, you've made lots of elementary non-troll mistakes. I am appointing myself non-troll hunter general.
