you've all provoked an interesting debate here
me and DH would like to add that we think there's a distinction between a troll as BnB are saying this woman is and a 'fake internet persona'.
I think a troll would almost always post to create trouble.
The other kind, the fake persona might be someone using the internet to have a chance to live a life they'd never normally have chance to live.
I think that by lying to new friends she would have caused problems, and also it's deceptive to post pictures that aren't your baby.
But apart from those two acts, maybe she was just someone having an opportunity to have a different life via the internet...
Dunno, just a thought.
Feel free to challenge/disagree, I'm up for a robust debate.:)

Weezl I guess whether they are troll or not probably depends on their intention. If they are faking as building a fantasy for themself then that is not really like a troll but if they are doing it as a parody or to mock people or to gain people's trust for some other purpose than that would be a troll.Any question, comment or opinion is not intended to be criticism of anyone else.2 Samuel 12:23 Romans 8:28 Psalm 30:5

or I'd have been a real plumb to have sent a pillowcase to a builder called Dave who likes to be known as susan :rotfl:

I just think it must be really sad and he/ she must be really lonely. I agree with Weezl re the troll comment tho..its a character they have created and did not set out to cause 'trouble' as i assume they never thought they'd be caught xDS Anthony Steven 07.06.92DD Becky Emma 24.01.94DD Rose Grace Jean 12.05.090
