TROLL BLOCK TANGO (by Tee2072)
(Unashamedly stolen from Cell Block Tango from Chicago! The musical)
If you haven't seen Chicago, will help.
And now the 6 merry moderators of MNHQ with their rendition of The Troll Block Tango!!
All:
Troll! Sock! Petition! Attack! Spamming! Libel!
Troll! Sock! Petition! Attack! Spamming! Libel!
Troll! Sock! Petition! Attack! Spamming! Libel!
They had it coming. They had it coming, they only had themselves to blame. If you?d have been there, if you had read it, you would have done the same.
Kat:
I met this poster all over the boards. She swore she wasn?t a troll. She had the saddest story.
But it started to not add up. So I did some investigating.
Not a troll? Not a troll my ass. Not only was she a troll, but she was trolling all over the ?net.
So that night I put my finger on the big red ban button and sent her on her way!
She had it coming. She had it coming. She only had herself to blame. If you had been there, if you had seen it, you would have done the same!
Helen:
So one day I?m sitting in front of my computer, and reports start coming in on this one poster. So I check it out and one of the other posters keeps agreeing with what the reported poster kept saying.
She was crazy! Agreeing with everything the OP said. So I knew it had to be a sock puppet.
Banned!
She had it coming. She had it coming. She only had herself to blame. If you had been there, if you had seen it, you would have done the same!
OtherHelen:
Helen and I were in the office one day, having cake and tea and a few laughs when the report alarm started blaring!
I took a look and there it was, a link to a petition.
I hit the delete button so fast, my finger was sprained!
She had it coming. She had it coming. She only had herself to blame. If you had been there, if you had seen it, you would have done the same!
Olivia:
I loved that poster, I really did. But one day, she just started attacking people left and right. I had no choice but to ban her from the site.
But some people just don?t go away?
Rowan:
This poster started showing up all over the board, posting the same link and the same information over and over.
The reports started pouring in and I had no choice but to delete her!
She had it coming. She had it coming. She only had herself to blame. If you had been there, if you had seen it, you would have done the same!

You know how some people get mentioned on Mumsnet and it just scares you to death? SWMNBN was one of those.
We thought we had it covered, and everyone knew she was not a person to be named.
But there she was?named.
I had to ban the poster. What choice did I have?
She had it coming. She had it coming. She only had herself to blame. If you had been there, if you had seen it, you would have done the same!
All:
They had it comin'
they had it comin'
They had it comin' all along
'Cause if they used us and they abused us
How could they tell us that we were wrong?
She had it coming,
she had it coming
she only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there,
if you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same
