A community for parents...or is it?

as a new member, I was under the impression that this is a website community "by Parents, for Parents." I have been participating in a thread that is very heated and discovered that there are non parents commenting on here. Do you all think this is ok? It seems quite bizarre to me that someone is trolling through the site that isn't a parent. What would their motives be? I don't go onto sites for singles and comment. Although I have been single before so feel I could offer something if I wanted. But someone on this site, commenting about parenting things - and they aren't a parent themselves?? I am just curious about PARENTS opinions here. Please let me (and others) know what your opinion is on this matter. I am happy to listen and maybe there is a point I haven't thought of...thank you!

In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic ...

again - never meant to upset anyone - I was under a different impression about the site as the slogan is misleading.

happy christmas to you all and hope you enjoy the glittery poo!

I know what troll means, I've been a member of 4chan and Reddit for a good few years since all this started becoming popular Wink

Like I said, people on a wind up. Someone who isn't a parent using the website isn't 'trolling'.

Happy christmas to you! Hope you and your family have a good one.
