To think that quoting past threads/quiches on MN does not prove you aren't a troll?

You know when someone says 'name changed but not a troll - missing toaster, poo troll etc'. It doesn't really prove anything, does it? Any lurkers could read all that and still be a troll of some sort, no?

Am bored, can you tell? Grin

Clearly my winning smile wasn't good enough.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease can I have a PM?

Psammead · 17/01/2012 17:32

I think it depends on the troll, tbh. I imagine the ones who get really emotionally attached to their personas stay loyal to one forum. Others target a specific type of forum.

KungFP - excellent. Yes, about - short stuff has nursery school between 9 and 12.15, but about whenever really. Give me a shout nearer the time when you know your plans and we shall sort something.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 17/01/2012 17:34

Ruby Grin I suspect you may be correct in your assumptions.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 17/01/2012 17:37

Some of these stories are scary. I never spot a troll, and i'm amazed at those of you who are perceptive enough to spot posting styles.

It's a horrible thought, being dragged in hook line and sinker.

CotherMuckingFunt · 17/01/2012 17:39

Hmmmm.. Ruby I think you and me agree

Kenobi · 17/01/2012 17:40

I think you is all bitches for not replying to KeSnowBi when she asked if she should change her name back.

I don't know her but I think she seems very nice.

And you is all bitches.

Psammead · 17/01/2012 17:41

Agree ON WHAT?

PM me, pleeeeeease!?

Kenobi · 17/01/2012 17:42

And me!

Moominsarescary · 17/01/2012 17:43

fellatio that's why I don't tend to post when I see them, people think they are helping the op but it's not allways the case

mothmagnet · 17/01/2012 17:44

I hate myself for typing this, but me too please.

Can't keep reading ruby's post for clues.

BIWI · 17/01/2012 17:44

I'm still waiting too!

BustersOfDoom · 17/01/2012 17:44

I've only ever spotted one. To be fair it wasn't just me there were a few of us getting suspicious but even now months after she went there are still some people who refuse to believe it because she gave really good advice on one particular subject. It was just all her other posts that were bullshit and filled with inconsistencies!

I understand that some people have need to create some sort of fantasy life or want attention or have other more sinister motives but I just can't get my head round what hard work it must all be. Remembering what you said under what name, how pregnant you are, how old your DC are etc etc. It sounds exhausting!

TheMonster · 17/01/2012 17:44

Bounty is rubbish.

HorribleDay · 17/01/2012 17:46

I hear you Moomins ... Have had same thoughts a few times. One in particular who is fascinating only by the drama she creates abs the huge amount of support she gets but then I tend to think Hmm I am a cynical witch....! tho there was one I always thought was trolling and have seen her mentioned on another trolling thread. I think. It was all coded by People Who Were Not Troll Hunting....

But am now paranoid as having shit time which I've posted about but promise it's not trolling, sadly. Which makes me want to punch trolls hard - why and what the actual fuck make you do that???

Northernlurker · 17/01/2012 17:46

Busters - I think I know exactly who you mean. I'm sure the advice on that subject was genuine though the specific reason given for knowing so much wasn't imo.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 17/01/2012 17:47

Wouldn't MNHQ know if someone had multiple account names and was posting as different people?

And if they do, why don't they terminate the accounts?

reelingintheyears · 17/01/2012 17:48

I agree with youse all.

.

Now,someone tell me who the troll is.

I have spent the entire afternoon cooking and don't know nuffink.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 17/01/2012 17:49

Yes i agree Busters exhausting indeed!

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 17/01/2012 17:51

You are reeling. The hairy feet gave you away.

MardyBra · 17/01/2012 17:51

My Inbox is still resolutely grey too.

Psammead · 17/01/2012 17:52

Agree on what? On bloody whaaaat? Ruby! PM!

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 17/01/2012 17:52

Agree on who is who is who.
