Trolls and emotional leeches

[LoopyLoopsBettyBoops]

Why do they do it? I just don't get it. Recent trolly threads about tokophobia (particularly the stillbirth one) have been really distressing for a lot of people. Why would you want that? I just don't get it.

thumbwitch no I didn't read the stillbirth thread; it had been deleted when I clicked on the link given here, as had the other thread referred to. The only one I've read is the one I mentioned, and the OP didn't seem like a troll in that; she seemed respectful of others, if strong in her opinions.

From what has been said on this thread, though, the stillbirth troll sounds absolutely horrible. Why would anyone want to cause such distress and pain?

boohoohoo - have you considered starting your own thread?

ILoveYouToo - LaraC is a very toned down version, I believe, of Birkin. Birkin took it to a new level of offensiveness.

I am bumping this because it seems it is still going on and I wondered if MNHQ are able to check if these recent threads are all connected? I notice too that many of these threads are started by posters who post through the night and use American spelling or phrases. Could it be that there are genuinely several posters with similar styles and suffering from insomnia with these kinds of concerns?
