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?

I was accused of being Edwina Currie.

I'm not.

I've been called a troll in real life. Kids are mean.

Kids are mean. My son calls me heffa.

Edwina Currie? What did you do?

Were you with John major at the time

Heffa, I do like that as an insult . Not that I'd ever use it, being a grown up and all.

My farts do smell a bit like eggs, though.

I got called a troll AND a journo on my first AIBU.

I was being a right dickhead, though.

Lol IWouldNotCouldNot litterally 2 days ago, on one of those horrendous BF threads i recounted a similar scenario i had witnessed in a cafe, about near 3 yr olds breastfeeding. I (thought) i had put my opinion accross in a way so as not to offend ANYONE, didn't get personal or aggressive and actually thought i'd been excruciatingly diplomatic and nice about it.

Basically got told i was a horrendous arrogant person, a liar because obviously i'd bother making up stupid stories and had massive assumptions made about my BFing status. Cause clearly this person knew me IRL and knew everything about me, my life and how i feed my newborn (who, for the record, i absolutely LOVE breastfeeding)

I guess thats close enough to being called a troll? Didn't bother going back, better things to waste my fun on here on Mumsnet like the old man shag thred

Anyway, i'm babbling again.

Also can i just ask, whats sockpuppeting? I had a search but i cant find it, or a mumsnet dictionary ....

It's name changing or registering another ID in order to post supporting your own posts - so I could name change or register another ID whose sole purpose was to say "absolutely Georgimama, I agree with every word".

Is calling someone a 'thickie' acceptable?

What is a "me too hun thickie?"

"me too hun thickie" mmm it makes me think of a big cream filled bun with sugar and cherries on top

Cheers Georgiemama i will remember for the future... but the act itself sounds ever so weird. Everyone already knows you agree with yourself lol.. how strange!

I am not going to tell you- ever.

Fine.

"me too hun thickie" is a term of art which describes those who aspire to the intelligence of a common or garden troll but who will never quite cut it vis a vis the numbers of brain cells required (> 2 usually).

Thank you Crispy

have a doughnut
pass one to your little friend Pag
don't worry little girl I've been CRB'd

I got called a troll last week because I appeared to have an obsession with knickers.

When I was a newbie (and under another name) I got called a journo when I started a thread asking if MNers were as blunt in RL as they were on line. I made the mistake of using the word "strident" which is, apparently, too DM.

The idea is though Missybrookes is that you look like a completely different poster endorsing your POV, so no one knows you are doing it. Sometimes people make it a bit too obvious though (such as by failing to disguise their own idiosyncracies of speech, typos etc).
