Who's been called a troll at some point?

[JacksonPollocks]

Just wondering as many people I see claim to have been, is it that widespread?

piano. this link will explain it all beautifully to you.

Again, I agree with Fellatio I'm careful with what I say about my extended family (even worded that carefully!) as I think I'm easily identifiable if anyone in RL knows me. The kittens were such a story in RL as no-one had ever raised kittens themselves that everyone seemed to contact me to add support and come and see them/ask after them. Which is lovely! And I guess as my MN persona is based around my kittens (I was a ghost poster beforehand), you could easily link the two, if you could be bothered too.

That said, I don't mind, for the reasons the wonderful Fell says. Hence I keep the kittens in my name and on my pictures - I say nothing on here I wouldn't say in RL and I don't use MN as a release - I use it as an online community of like-minded, witty women to drop in, have a chat and a laugh, offer a shoulder to cry on when needed and that's that. I'm the same in RL as I am on MN, hence also why I'm friends offboard on fb with a few MNers too.

I'm waffling now :o

Ah,, now i see what a troll is. Thank you Thumbwitch. Yes I have suffered the arrows of trolls on here recently, to the point that i am so totally disheartened with this site, after many years being here. I am somewhat sad that people can be so unkind and cruel. My only confession I have to put my hands up to was winding up some horribly rude and spiteful folk who said i was a snobby bitch simply cos I said i thought swearing was common . In retort I said "Yes, I am!" All hell broke loose and I was rounded up on. The banter that thereafter continued was the most ridiculous garbage i have ever read; with everyone swearing, being rude/cocky, and sounding like teenagers. At 52 yrs I cant be doing with it....

Swearing on here is therapeutic piano. It's here or at DH and the kids since swearing at work is a sackable offence especially if you swear at the customers. If it wasn't for MN I would explode. I am common, tho.

Yes I can see/understand this...
It must be me in the minority .....I just dont like to swear on line....

It's not compulsory piano. If you knew me in RL you would never know my secret joy is swearing on a forum and how vociferously I can defend my right to do so. I spend all day being super worker/mother/daughter, etc so indulging my childishness here is fun to me. It's not for you and I see that, but doesn't mean I am/you are a bad person, IYSWIM?
