You will see they are easily recognisable, once you've been here a while .......

In any normal discussion we often go off on tangents - and those are frequently more interesting than the original subject.
One can always return to the Sacred Topic at will.
Now I'm all curious about the pearls of wisdom I may have missed. lol

Give some people a bit of power, and they just have to chuck this around and abuse it.
I remember one little toe rag on Saggy before it went belly up.
He used to have an avatar of a policeman with a truncheon.

My bet is that he is on some other forum being an uncalled for interfering little twit.
He doesn't appear to be on this particular forum though, thank goodness.

Re: Trolls
In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response .30-06-2014, 08:49 PM
