Oh! I had no idea about trolls. I am stunned to think I have been the

victim of one when I thought all of you were against me! )

Thank you, and to everyone else who has been so nice, I feel *much*

better now ))

Hello Ruthie I feel terribly sorry for you!

I kind of know what you are feeling because after I got a virus from someone,

and I did't realise I had it I carried on emailing and someone accused me of

deliberately sending it to them! Its not nice t and I felt terrible afterwards

annd did't want to use the internet any more!

I too love reading your posts and have great respect for other peoples feelings

and beliefs.

Take care and together we can beat those trolls!

Definition of ' trolls'

Having done a search on our archives i can confirm that Lucy

Rimer is a troll. She has never posted before, has a free

address (yahoo) - not always a pointer of course - and she

unsubbed straight afterwards.

What they do is join a group quietly and lurk for a day or so. The

minute they see anything even vaguely controversial they will do

a search on the posters previous posts and harvest some of

their former comments (ie Ruthie's mention of her son) and then

let rip and quickly unsub - leaving the flames behind them. Why

do they do it? No idea apart from being sad, sick individuals.

I was on the receiving end of a really really vile one - that made

me cry for over a day once - about 1996 when pregnant so pretty

emotional anyway.

So Ruthie, this person isn't anything to do with this group - and

certainly doesn't reflect how we feel about you! Just wanted to

help you feel better - even though I know the feeling is like you

have been physically attacked rather than just in an email (

Who knows? They must be jealous to see how well we all get on

together on this group and want to spoil things.

Mine happened on a newsgroup (rec.crafts.textiles.needlework)

which had up till then been quite a nice chatty group without too

much spamming, but it all seemed to go downhill whilst i was

away from it. I joined it again at the beginning of the year to

discover that most of the group seemed to be intent on making

one member's life a misery - because she didn't speak terribly

good english and they were all laughing at her typing..I mean

how horrible is that? She wrote English one heck of a lot better

than that lot could write Dutch (her language)!!!

Anyway I decided life was too short to put most of the

troublemakers into killfiles so I left the group.

Such a relief to come to this group for a breather from bitchiness
