Has the troll advice thread gone?

?

That indeed is very odd behavior and smacks of over investment.

Hi, Liney Hobbit's Bar ended because we felt we had taken it as far as we could, and quite a few of us were dealing with a lot in real life, and the pressure of trying to help posters in the first anguished weeks of finding out about their ex's betrayal just became too overwhelming for me and my fellow posters.

Yep.

darren what do you mean ? That widow sent pm to people asking them to engage with whatshername - when was this ? In the beginning ? Or recently ?

I was PMed to contact whatshername but not by sad widow though.

tom, on the thread that was started last Saturday evening she said she posted sometimes on whatshername's threads, and that she "contacted other posters via PM who I thought could help at specific stages of her divorce. " She then named 3 posters and apologised for 'dragging' them into it.

She didn't say when that was, but I'm assuming it was fairly near the beginning rather than recently. But that's an assumption on my part

Hopefully sad will come back and tell us more.

Guess so. I can't say I have ever contemplated trolling as a hobby before. S'pose that explains why some trolls seemingly never pay attention to advice given though. It is simply a craving for attention.

In fact, they are the streakers of the sporting world, aren't they? Amusing as a one off...bloody irritating at every event.

streakers of the sporting world, that's cheered me up tonight.

As I recall it, Darren, sadwhatshername did all that (or said she did) near the beginning, ie a few pages into happywhatsername's first thread.

Hobbit thanks for your post. I can understand that.

Ok darren thanks for explaining.

Sometimes genuine posters won't take advice because they are struggling to come to terms with what has happened and sometimes a troll will follow some of the advice if it serves to keep the drama going. This is the problem. You can't pin down a formula. I think my biggest mistake was to think that a troll wouldn't meet up in real life, seem like a perfectly pleasant person and be able to tell massive lies right to your face without even flinching.
