A RANT ABOUT NAME CHANGING TROLLS - SORRY

187 replies

HappyHuggy · 15/06/2005 20:54

Itt really pisses me off when people change there names just to be bitchy.

If you stand by your opinon, then have the decency to use your own name.

otherwise keep you thoughts to yourself.

You gave yourself away in your very first dd post.

Gwenick · 15/06/2005 23:31

first dd post.????

ScrewballMuppet · 15/06/2005 23:31

Mind is still spinning

Gwenick · 15/06/2005 23:32

duh - sorry just worked out what you meant by DD LOL

QueenEagle · 15/06/2005 23:32

Gwenick - I thought twice about taking a stab at guessing. Once bitten, twice shy and all that......

FairyMum · 15/06/2005 23:34

Oh, I had no idea then....

ScrewballMuppet · 15/06/2005 23:36

A plea can everyone stick to their own nickname, it gets very confusing and I'm very easily confused

handlemecarefully · 15/06/2005 23:36

I should have sussed you when you quoted me and made a comment on another thread. You do that a lot - i.e. quote people, and then comment. Not that there is anything wrong with this you understand!

SaintGeorge · 15/06/2005 23:38

Actually I missed your first couple of dungareedolly posts so it was maybe the 3rd or 4th one. I saw it and knew it was you straight away. I wouldn't have ventured a guess if I wasn't 100% sure.

SaintGeorge · 15/06/2005 23:38

hmc - it was the 'quote then comment' that gave it away to me

OK, thick or naive question it may be but:

What is meant by a troll?

Gwenick · 15/06/2005 23:42
  • well as well as wasting some of your evening - I've also proved that 'some' people have distinctive styles and are easily "spotted" - others are a bit cleverer than me and hide themselves pretty well.....but if they post for long enough under a different name they'd probably get 'caught' eventually

and

"You do that a lot - i.e. quote people, and then comment."

Yes I do quote people quite a lot -

Someone who posts something incendiary - out of the blue (usually not a regular mumsnetter, but a mischief maker) to get a reaction. But Gwenick was only pretending to be a troll.

Trolls can range from the relatively benign to the malicious

Gwenick · 15/06/2005 23:43

I'm a grumpy old troll.............that lives under the bridge.........*

ScrewballMuppet · 15/06/2005 23:44

Ahhhhhhhhhhh thankyou

gillygillyossenfeffer · 15/06/2005 23:44

no-one guessed me

don't start now, it's just not the same

SaintGeorge · 15/06/2005 23:45

Trolls live under bridges and occasionally stick their ugly necks out to make inflammatory posts.

MN recently seems to have been plagued by this particular variety.
