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

Is this the same slinging match that was on Dee's thread etc.?

I think the semierect thread is still around. I just killed it off with talk of unusual sleb friendships.

Honeydragon · 18/01/2012 13:15

FFS I leave you lot alone to talk about trolls for 5 minutes and this happens! If this thread has a hidden agenda than it's the Lord Lucan of agendas.

To summarise

OP. Isn't it a bit silly trying to prove you are a nc regular by quoting random well known threads?

EVERYONE ELSE Yes, as most trolls are actually rather devious and are often very very hard for the pore ol mods to debunk/get rid off, like this example from olden days of mnet or another forum. Lets all pretend we're hairy truckers for a larf. Does anyone remember the bouncer dream episode of Neighbours.

SMALL MINORITY:Aha you are using Australian soap operas to slag of fellow forum users and I know exactly who you are talking about but pm me in case I am wrong you are

EVERYONE ELSE: Whaaaaaa?

Is this about where we are now?

AbsofCroissant · 18/01/2012 13:18

I thought the australian soap opera bit was genuinely about Australian soap operas.

I too was perturbed to see the dude from neighbours turn up on the OC as a nefarious American business man. And then turn up in Ugly Betty. But on the OC it was okay as you had Sandy Cohen and his eyebrows to help everyone out.

I'm sorry if I added to this, I too missed the point of the thread and was enjoying a moan.

Can I start a Neighbours thread?

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 18/01/2012 13:20

wannabe I used to mod on a site and we had a few trolls - regulars who had different personas. One of the stories she made up told of a boy who had gone missing and how distraught the family was etc etc. Police were involved, sniffer dogs, helicopter etc out looking for child.

Turns out she made the whole thing up.
Another poster who lived in the area called the local police for information and it was all a big fat lie. Sad

How sad that people feel the need to make things up - its not as if there isnt enough real life shit going around.

Psammead · 18/01/2012 13:22

Well, my contributions to the Bouncer debate (you bitch, Mangel) were really actually about Bouncer. That possibly makes me quite sad Grin

oh, it seems only reading to page 3 and then posting was a bit presumptious of me. Didnt realise than by the time it was page 21 it was about other 'stuff'.

Confused
Psammead · 18/01/2012 13:24

It was Roly, wasn't it? The poodle in Dead-enders?

LadyBeagleEyes · 18/01/2012 13:25

Me too Psammead.
And about Jim Robinson. Wasn't he Shane's dad?

AbsofCroissant · 18/01/2012 13:26

There does genuinely seem to be some not so subtle tension and whatevs between some MNers, who have appeared on this thread. And others.

So, either it can continue and everyone go Hmm and whatever, or they can sort themselves out amongst themselves and stop dragging whatever the hell issue they have across the board.

I miss the OC Sad

mothmagnet · 18/01/2012 13:26

Was Shane Henry's cousin?

KatieMiddleton · 18/01/2012 13:27

Oh no. This is why I have AIBU hidden. I only ventured on here last night because the thread was in most active and I was bored sleepless and my laptop wasn't working :(

I hate the troll hunting. Yes anyone with eyes can see some of the insinuations on the thread but I had hoped the silliness was making the point that it is just that. Silliness.

Now I have drawn a line ^ so enough now please.

Now did someone say Bouncer? I reckon his coat was the same shade as F&B matchstick.

It is, it is. I only finished antibiotics for a chest infection last week, and I think it's back Sad

I can't see the dig being talked about, but I'm scrolling on my phone in bed, and my eyes hurt, so I think I've missed it.

LadyBeagleEyes · 18/01/2012 13:29

Henry was Charlene's brother.
I don't know if he was related to Shane or not.

Honeydragon · 18/01/2012 13:29

I still have a signed photo of Craig Mchlachlan from his Henry days

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 18/01/2012 13:31

RIP yet another thread that was a larf but has gone spectacuraly tits up. Orff out know so expect thread will be long gorn when I get back.

mothmagnet · 18/01/2012 13:32

What was their surname, the henry/Shanes? I'm sure Charlene was related to both and there was an angry man who was their dad.

My Neighbours thread is flying btw
