This is not a TAAT!
Ok, so I get that some people are sceptical about what they read on here.
BUT, why go on to the thread and be a GF or plain out troll-hunter?
I've read some threads recently where the OP is clearly looking for help, but then the thread gets totally derailed by posters arguing the toss over whether or not the thread is realistic, or completely missing the point of the thread and being nit-pickers.
I don't intend to flounce just yet and doubt that I would be missed, I don't post that much, but it really spoils he spirit of Mumsnet for me.
What do you think?

And I do keep my mouth shut and just report when I think it's warranted.....

Unfortunately I was a victim of this yesterday Sad

Report and if things go really bad for the OP, send them a PM reminding them that not everyine is thinking they are a troll and that you believe them.
Usually people are aware that MN can sometimes (often atm??) go a bit haywire. But knowing someone cares can be helpful in its own.

You can end up sending supportive PMs to Trolls sadly.

Sparkling, I don't send PMs, just report as said above.
Either way it doesn't solve the issue, does it? (In the grand scheme of things, because it's not down to me to police it...)

I was replying to Hermione about the PMs.

All you can do is report.
