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

DS I had to make a sock puppet for a drama thing at school. We made, wait for it, Sockrates.

So when is it wrong to name change and when OK? I've never name changed to argue against or with myself, which I'd think is sockpuppetting - is that right?

PinotVaggio · 18/01/2012 16:51

Mebbe it did, Oh Shirley One, mebbe it did

Hello, BeerTricksPOtter. Yes, I'm a newbie - thanks for the welcome. :) I joined Mumsnet because I heard great things about it. Apparently there are some really kind, clever and funny posters on here, like TheVermiciousKnid. :)

You are right, Sockety. BeerTricks is almost as brilliant as TheVermiciousKnid. Maybe they are one and the same person?

BIWI · 18/01/2012 17:03

Pinot - in my first job, when I was about 22, we had a secretary who was then 16. One day, she came rushing into the office saying, with great excitement, "did you know, Paul McCartney used to be in another band before Wings!"

Your 'who is Rob Newman' made me think of that.

And realise how old I am ...

Oh yy am very wise now

He's quite pretty I must say

Sockrates · 18/01/2012 17:03

Too right, Sockety. Personally, I'm quite taken with the wit and gaiety of Lorem.

Shock So that's what happened to all our odd socks!

Sockrates. Grin

GinSlinger · 18/01/2012 17:14

I wouldn't recognise a troll if they introduced themselves to me.
I don't know who Rob Newman is.
I watched Neighbours in 1982 - it helped me through feeding one of the babes.
I quite liked East Enders circa 1987
I don't think I'm a troll
This thread has confused me and it's one of the reasons I don't post very much.

TheBigJessie · 18/01/2012 17:42

I don't know whether the posters I used to notice left, namechanged, or were banned, and it bothers me more than is healthy.

Loads have been mentioned so far in passing. Well, three.

spiderslegs · 18/01/2012 18:22

Sat down for a nice cuppa & a good old read of the Very Long Juicy Thread, was forced to swap to cuppa for gin about half an hour ago.

Pag & I are actually quite happy in our Salford love-nest.

Other than that I am quite discombobulated & am going to leg it.
