Strange feeling in the force I feel.........

I agree Phil but I've been reacting badly all day, I don't know whether it's me or whether it's the funy *haha* posts today. I hate being a tempermental woman. Shall try to reign my neck in.

I really do wonder why I come back here sometimes when all people want to do is portray me as some kind of troublestarting idiot

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if we have this thread over here on BR board but DFW bump this often so that newcomers new & old are aware of the possibility of `troll` issues.

They `bump` it along regularly to keep it in peoples minds. Perhaps it would work over here?

Pania`s words are so brilliant I could`nt better them myself so I copied as below.

Notice to newcomers re trolls.
Hi everybody.


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all 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!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
P
xxxxx

just a little reminder why we're still here...:D

Hi Phil,
Unfortunately I had to go to that shop I hate beginning with T - it always puts me in a bad mood (and I'm not nice when in a bad mood) so kept a low profile until I calmed down again otherwise I might have been tempted to bite a troll. Don't think they taste very nice

All fine now, so back again to bump this lovely thread before it jumps onto page 2 again.

Hello to all the newbies and beware of the trolls - they bite!!!

Back later :j:j:j

Phil,
You come back here because you're appreciated - look at the thread asking where you were. You've got a fan club on here and they miss you when you're not around.... Chin up, don't let them get to you.:A

I usually find full body armour and a crash helmet work on a friday when my OH drags us to the dreaded "A" store...;)
