To think that the recent spate of troll posts and deliberately provocative posts are actually ruining mumsnet

[lucyellensmummyisnotmad]

I love AIBU, i love a good barney same as the next guy but really, i haven't a clue what is sodding real anymore. I love the fun trolls, especially if they are clever. But when it is about sensitive subjects or just insulting our intelligence - its getting a bit much and i wonder if MNHQ should be considering some sort of control?

I thought it was a given that Steve was JF?

Do you know, I was innocently googling the other day and I came across stocks porn. Filth. Reminds me of the day my Dad phoned up after newly acquiring the internet and shrieked 'all I googled was chocolate brownies, what devil work is this?' Hasn't been the same since my old Dad.

Oh BOF - after the twitter thing, I went and looked on all of his sites and HAHAHAHAHA!

hahahahahaha

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

No wonder he spends his time fruiting about on here. Did you see the "voice artist" website?!

BoF my computer just refused that link. My computer never refuses to link. What the bloody hell was it? My computer allows stocks porn fgs.

Who's steve?

A very strange bloke Serenity.

well in reality there's no way of knowing for certain whether most trolls are trolls. I could join mn tomorrow under a different name/email address, from another computer even so IP wouldn't be linked and make up a life that seemed plausible to others and no-one would ever know.

I imagine there are perfectly normal-seeming posters who don't have dramatic happenings in their lives who are actually none of the things they claim to be. Regular, well-known posters even.

Any links to any threads? You know, because it is important and I'm nosy

Mrs H go with the flow..you will see who is genuine and whos playing games...if you see WTF say so..lol

yawn Is it time for this thread again...

I'm finding mn quite hard work at the moment that much is true and I don't post much anyway.

There have been a couple of abuse posts over the last few days that I've not believed a word of from the off. It makes me wonder about what kind of gratification the poster gets from it and that taints the whole thing.

I'm also well bored of WashWithCares saga.

I've been thinking Troll/Journo fairly regularly recently. Far more often than in the past.

There is no solution though. You can't even ignore them in case they are someone who really needs help.

I can't believe you didn't experience the joy of Steve, SOH...are you sure?

Woah. Steve is...built.

Hummina hummina

Ok I've been away for a while whats the issue with WWC?

I have just come a bit.

WWC posts these VERY/mildly (depending on your viewpoint) threads, which then tons of people pile in on and it runs forever and ever

Very/mildly provocative that should read

whereas I am still sad and with a tiny bit of sick in my mouth

Oh Ronald.

WashWithCare. She is the personification of an evil stepmother. It's all tres bizarre.

You're mixing her up with RaisedInCare and MrsHiggins.

I'm obviously not here enough. Never heard of WWC.

AcademicallyTormented is the same one as those ones too, WhoIsAsking. I felt quite pleased at getting one of 'her' recent twatty threads pulled. All Steve.
