According to PC Magazine: An internet troll is an individual who posts false accusations or inflammatory remarks on social media to promote a cause or to harass someone. The anonymity of such venues enables people to say things they would not say in person, and they often like to ratchet up emotions to generate strong reactions.
What is insidious are disinformation agents. As Skip once astutely pointed out, these people stay within the posting rules, but quietly post up disinformation.
You are quite right Gal. The thing is with the other forum Admin more or less allow this to happen, and don't take action against whoever even though it is obvious I am being Trolled by whoever. This happened tou you there, hich is why you came to this forum. I can tell you this. This forum is so fortunate to have Zen who supports you and others from TROLLS. No messing about here. Anyone TROLL someone here and you are out on your arse! No ifs. No butts. OUT. ZAPPED! GONE!
All forums need good mods. They are excellent on this forum, the whole reason I will stay. Sorry, you get trolled on that bad one. I will never return there.
Yes it's a shame really. But overall it is a good forum with some very nice people there. Anyway. Good news. One of my TROLLS got banned for a week yesterday for insulting me yet AGAIN! Well Gal. It's a start!
Yes but that was before he got the total hots for you and you were cool about it and he was jealous because you and I have always been good buddies with a bit of flirting thrown in. He got nasty about that, and has hated the pair of us ever since!
Well Blow Me Beach Ball Lady. I do believe that it is! And Trolls are very likely to pop their ugly heads up anywhere unless we are all very vigilant!
No BBL. This is in the Latest News section alright, and that much is true. However the thread is called Trolls, and what Candy and I are talking about is latest news. Arguably Trolling is always latest news and it is still happening to Gal and possibly others.. Even in this forum. Of course Zen sorts it out, but it is latest news all the same. With respect BBL, if I didn't know any better, I could think there was a bit of nit picking going on here.
