when you engage with the trolls

[MitchiestInge]

. . . is it a personal thing (actually engaging emotionally) or are you communicating with a wider, more silent audience or are there other motivations?

I can't work out why more people don't ignore them, but every now and then the exchanges are unintentionally funny or interesting - although mostly it gets very dull very quickly. Wondering what's in it for them too.

Gaslighting.

This perhaps?

I found this earlier

I thought it was QUITE interesting.

Ho Hum

Goodness Bob- your response to BIWI tells me all I need to know about your persona on here.

Beachcomber- it is very sad indeed that circumstances lead you to be suspicious of anyone posting round here that you don't recognise. I don't post on feminism very frequently, but have learned a great deal from the few threads I've been on (I'm guessing you don't think I'm a man though!) What a sorry state of affairs.

Thinking that accused rapists are guilty be default, that men are ok to be banned from seeing their chldren and made to pay, attacking men/fathers etc is all misandry

Adding also that you say you hate me but lie about it saying you hate the patriarchy is also misandry

Whoa! Bobby, darling, calm down! I'm not accusing you of anything. My post was in reposnse to the Original Post which was discussing trolling.

If you want to read every single post as an attack on yourself for trolling then you should check first that your name isn't in the post!

You're being a little bit silly. It's an open forum, where everyone and anyone can post anything they like as long as they're within MNHQ guidelines

Hey CaptainNancy. It is a sorry state of affairs. I have never been the sort of poster to really notice who was a reg and who wasn't. One kind of has to on the feminist section though unfortunately.

Which of course is one of the points of the pathetic behaviour we have been seeing here.

Saying that, it is generally obvious who is a good guy and who is a wank (possibly slightly obscure reference to Scottish comedy show).

I don't think you are a man - although it doesn't matter as you are obviously a normal poster .

Yes, I think that sounds fair enough dittany.

These two haven't been banned yet, how?
