    How long will it take for a comment such as "i've got a noose if you want to borrow it" the one that personally reduced me to tears, to find a person so vulnerable that it puts that thought into their head.

    Hi pania - I must admit that, although I wasn't about much last night, I did manage to log on and saw some of the posts from 'the troll' before they were deleted. They were particularily offensive, not only to 'newbies' but to the integrity of this forum as a whole.

    I am, of course, pleased to see that those posts have been deleted - in fact every post except one that that person has ever made has now been deleted.

    However, I am disappointed to see that his/her posting priveleges have not been removed, and I find myself in complete agreement with your opinions.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    The poster/profile you are looking at rog, is not the one that belonged to this troll. Usernames are case sensitive here.

    The actual troll in question has had their account (and all their posts) deleted, rather than just being PPR'd. :)

    (How cute is he. I haven't seen The Smurfs in years. It used to be on a Sunday afternoon.)

    Trolls are so pathetic. They have nothing better to do than try and exert some power over people by saying deliberately nasty, unprovoked comments.

    I was surfing the Net last night and found tons of information about trolls - all of it bad, they're the bane of every web forum.

    Did find something funny though a comedy group called Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie:rotfl:
