    We get them every so often Red. Some come on just to wind people up. They are normally the sorts with big ego's and small genitalia who face to face wouldn't say Boo to a Goose. The worst ones have been members of the forums for years and they just stop short of downright abuse. Every so often one will go just too far and can be reported. The straight forward trolls are the easy ones, Just hit the abuse button and their gone.

    Every so often we have to venture out into the forums to spread the word. Treat all new posters as genuine, take them at face value until they prove they are not what they purport to be.

    There is one guy at the moment, who after all the help and advice has done nothing and keeps posting up the names of DCA's and Loan Companies. I too have started to wonder if this is a wind up!

    Cheers Mate, Keep the Faith and lets keep helping.

    Warmest Regards, Handy.

    Hi Handy,

    I think this forum member has been around a long time and as you say, other than potentially trying to wind people up, I fail to see their purpose on the forum! However, they do appear to be smart enough to just stop short of the abuse button being pressed! I'm calm now anyway and thanks for the response.

    A Friday Night hiccuppy bump up the forum for Fred.......from the resident alcofrolics!

    I wonder if AA know about us. Since Red joined the gang even handy's had to raise his standards. No Scrump tonight just a glass or 3 of Aussie Shiraz and a Nightcap of Single Malt.

    Next thing you know, Handy will be wearing aftershave and rubbing shoulders with the Hoorays.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I need the aftershave to cover the [STRIKE]stink[/STRIKE] Aroma of compost.:D

    People on my old thread thought I was someone else so had to clarify the fact i'm not that sad and too busy to bother with such childish antics...

    Hope you're all well, just headed back to hospital then straight to work for 5am (yawn).... I want my kiddo home boo hoo...

    Not the time for one of my comedy remarks, poor little booger. My heart goes out to them all. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. Niddy our thoughts are with you pal. Don't know what else to say.

    Handy.
