PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

Pania, you are so so lovely and have articulated this so well.

I am a daily visitor to this site, but more of a reader than a poster (people seems to have always said what I was thinking!) and it really upsets me when I see 'troll' posts...so this is a great post and I hope many many people see it....

I'll do my best (and I'm sure others will) to bump it daily so it stays in the limelight...it is so so relevent and sadly, probably always will be!

Thanks Pania. x

I'd give the troll a lift and wipe the seat afterwards.

I'd also not call the ambulance.

Why don't we lock them into a troll thread, then they can sit and abuse each other all day long. WE can click the ignore button, and would never be bothered again. Perhaps we could include DCAS etc. I bet they are the trolls really.
Ah well, back to the real world...

what a brilliant idea what can we use to lure them in * cackling* come here my pretties

Thanks Pania - have been on the boards for quite a while now and I DIDN'T know that trolls even existed. I thought it was just people being insensitive and thick skinned, not caring about who they hurt with their comments! :mad: I didn't know about the triangle warning in the bottom left hand corner and to be honest have never even noticed it, until you mentioned it that is!!

So thank you very much for highlighting this 'pastime' that obviously some people enjoy!!

PS What is the 'ignore' button?
