[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 410048, member: 463"] [b]OT on Troll comments[/b] Occasionally the "It's A Troll! It's A Troll!" people perform a public service in alerting gullible types like me to genuine trolls, and stopping us getting sucked in to pointless arguments - but all too often there's a tendency to jump on ANY slightly unusual post (mine included) and cynically insist that it's a troll. Usually, it's not, and this behaviour is both offputting and depressing. Now, I guess it's the genuine trolls like Bugaboo who are most to blame for this state of affairs - if no one trolled, the cynics wouldn't cry wolf at every slightly odd post - but I think you wolf-cryers really ought to wait a bit before yelling troll so often. I think it's usually the second post that establishes whether someone really is trolling or not. On the Internet it's very easy to come across wrong in one's first post, you need to have some patience. Oh, and high Ellie(sp?)! :) [/QUOTE]
