To think wtf is wrong with trolls

Recently I’ve read so many posts (often sad- missing child/being treated badly, being abused etc) and then after people spend ages giving sound advice the posts are taken down for being a troll.

What is wrong with these people? Do they need professional help?

The Schoolchildren and Toilet troll. Posts as a concerned parent whose daughter (Note: it's always a girl, because this ain't no mammy, it's a perv who gets his sadfuck rocks off talking about little girls wetting their pants) isn't allowed to go to the loo.

I think that one might be back Sad

The other thing of course is they might not be trolls but instead just removed because mumsnet just doesnt want the bad press of the threads if they get picked up

Let's face it aibu doesnt always have great "optics" in its replies

I wonder about an awful lot of posters online. I was watching An American Murder on Netflix - a man killed his pregnant wife and their two little girls. All over social media at the time were people calling his wife all sorts of names - who the hell would do that, knowing her parents would see it? And how can a dead woman be to blame for anything in that situation?

I just can't imagine a dead woman getting the blame for her own death, pre-internet. Or not from people who'd be classed as normal.

One troll posted 3 days in a row about whether or not they should let their teenage daughter sleep In their bed as their daughter Asked to by would not say why...

The incest troll. Really, really revolting.

Haven’t seen the ‘being cut out of my clothes by the emergency services’ troll for a while, now I think of it.
