AIBU Trollhunting is ruining AIBU

[Trueheart1]

I understand troll hunting if the OP is giving dangerous advice. However, increasingly every single poster is being grilled by troll hunters about every aspect of their post. It makes a thread hard to follow and really boring to read.

I don't understand why the troll hunters do it, there is an easy to use report button. I have read several threads in the last week where the OP was subjected to constant snide comments about the veracity of their post. I think if these troll hunters persist then people won't want to post at all.

I agree, and I think the "huns" should educate themselves a bit more about what a troll is
Instead of calling troll anyone who doesn't agree with them. Using swear words doesn't give more weight to your posts you know

Report people for being twits?

What would the point of that be, Janey dear?

I hate the constant 'cheerleaders/fangirls/pom pom wavers' comments, It's all a bit misogynistic. Why not throw in a frothing and a hysterical as well.

Good point. There is far too much hysteria and frothing.

i love a bit of troll hunting. btw i'm sure 75% of what is posted on MN is fake.

Calm down, Janey.

You don't seem very calm.

Janet said being perfectly reasonable and is now getting patronised. All quite needless.

you’re being goaded janey. Dont bite.

"are you able to explain what the C&D affair is? And also the reference to Milton?"

We are able, but don't particularly want to be banned iyswim.

"harmless, but embellished" is an oxymoron.

A liar is not harmless.

Perhaps because they're cheering the OP on in a twit like manner?

Quite, Perfume. Odd that some people seem so keen to defend OP's who post fictitious threads.

And the original CF threads may have had some element of truth, but then the spitting drinks out, placemarking, and nominating for classics clearly went to the OPs' heads, and the out and out bollocks started being fed in.

It's mythomania. And we sit and watch it being played out on here day in day out.

And if a MNer is female and acts like a pompom waving cheerleading fangirl gets called out on it, then it's not misogyny. Misogyny is surely the OP who thinks the people fawning at her feet as she spins lie after lie in her attempt to feel important will believe any old crap as long as there's a next door neighbour in the tale somewhere.

I cba reading the entire thread but has anyone actually called the fan girls/cheerleaders thick or was it just you Janey

Why not? They're the ones feeding the silly CF craze. The CF OPs are twits, and likewise the giddy posters looking for more updates, more diagrams, more ker-azy antics are also twits. One can't survive without the other.

I called them terminally stupid.

Because it really is the mammy forum equivalent of people think Eastenders or Midsummer Murders is real.

"C&D is about a begging troll that went on for ages and took a lot of people in despite lots of reports... I don't think it's bannable to mention it is it?"

Not the way you tell it, I don't think. You omitted some salient parts.

" Milton is about a cockroach meme with a 'mnhq' label "

No, not MNHQ. It was titled Mumsnet Complaints Department and got that person banned here on MN.

Because I’m allowed to comment.

Twit means silly doesn’t it? Not thick.. I must admit English isn’t my first language like so correct me if I’m wrong.
