Obviously JF/W&R can be classed as a troll.

There are one or two others that I remember, such as one thread that was clearly started by a young male with nothing better to do except try to stir things up on here, along the lines of "I'm a sahm with a ?yr old ds, I like girls and want to meet some, but I don't know how to tell my husband". The whole tone of the post, spellig mistakes and everything just cried out TROLL!! I'm not sure anyone fell for this one and actually replied.

Which other ones can any of you remember?

There was a middle-aged man who posted some rather racy threads in a female persona - I seem to recall some rather salacious (and obviously completely made up) details about sex during pregnancy - but I can't remember his/her/its name!

Is anyone else as suspicious as me though? I'm getting worse lately when I read dramatic threads. Especially if I haven't seen the name b4 and they don't say I'm a regular but.......

The was she/wasn't she GF ones. Not that I'm calling GF a troll of course, but you know what I mean!

no please dont bring this up, they will all come out of hiding

victoriapeckham has been accused of being a troll numerous times but I have seen lots of quite ordinary and genuine-sounding posts from her recently, so I don't know what that was all about

juniper, i get a bit startled too at some of the thread titles, and then the author doesnt make another appearance for ages ..hmmm

Dadslib came back in disguise - Nicksie - and I think under another name as a troll, too!

dinosaur · 08/04/2005 16:20

I fell for some troll postings one evening - some kid pretending to be in mortal fear of a violent poster - I felt pretty stupid!

Mud - I think I'm with you there. V. suspicious that person has not responded to all these heartfelts posts.

But then again I think some of the responses to that particular thread will help other people and are probably very cathartic for the respodants

I'm just amazed at the amount of deeply personnel stuff some people are willing to reveal to an unknown audience

I don't think it is stupid to be taken in by a credible troll, dinosaur. I'm pretty credulous and trusting. I can see mud's point but prefer to hope that what she says is mistaken...
I remember the nutter who wanted a highchair harness for their NT 7 year old for "discipline" purposes - blech! Even I spotted that one right away.
