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?

ooops, sorry - this is getting like 'don't post on THIS thread' - I suppose that if we read the Troll Policy properly, we shouldn't really be contributing to a whole thread about trolls, should we Justine?

Thanks Justine

Justine, is it possible to remove the post headings too - that long line of "message deleted" looks very odd and she will wonder what was going on on her thread?

Justine (mumsnet) · 08/04/2005 20:22

Can't do it my end - am hoping Tech will be able to - he's on his way back from France as we speak.

LGJ · 08/04/2005 20:25

I hope he was coming back anyway

JanH · 08/04/2005 20:27

You let him have holidays?

hunkermunker · 08/04/2005 20:58

Giraffeski - wow re Oakley. Crazy!

And as for Tech being allowed to have holidays - isn't it termtime at MN Towers? Hmm?

Giraffeski: Possibly people get crazy when they defend product sales of plastic bags for $10 at 200,000 units.... IYSWIM. Perhaps she is just innocent and misguided ?

yes we are all locked away in an underground cell with only minimum oxygen supply, and fed bread and water once we have achieved target.

Totally, giraffeski...

If she believed in this product, one would expect a passionate plea for people to use them, and also general useful advice on SIDs.... but that doesn't come across AT ALL. Stinks IMO.

I emailed geocities about the calpol forum - they took it down. Wonder if they'd do the same for this one?

JanH · 08/04/2005 22:08

I just had a look at the "facts" - I used the same (unwrapped) mattress for 4 children, the last 2 slept on it on a sheepskin, and in fact the 3rd slept facedown on the sheepskin - on the unwrapped mattress - because that was still the advice then.

What a load of rubbish.

FF? Get drunk late night? Cheerfully spout a bit of lewd rubbish? Neah, it never happened...

Not that the contrite grovelling afterwards wasn't amusing, or anything....

Oh God, shows how my brain has melted with pregnancy.
Read the title to this thread and thought about the troll dolls that used to be around in the 90's, about six inches tall, with shocking colours for hair...
Have had to read this thread to educate myself better!

I'm quite new, but remember being shocked at a thread where somebody was upset that the bus driver had been a royal pain in the ass about her getting on with a pushchair, and somehow she got called irresponsible - and somebody posted to say they agreed with the bus driver!

Cant remember the name, as like I said, my brain has melted with pregnany hormones...
