They pop up now and again on various Forums, including ours.....
So a read of this is sometimes helpful to remind ourselves that they are around, how to identify them, what they are, and what to do about them...>>>

Ahh - Foz's annual reminder I think. :)

What made you show this again Paul? Run into a little hermit or something?

Aye, every now and again they pop in here to annoy people. Dave spotted the trollism I'd missed. So nice one Dave ;)
I don't know what these people get out of it but they must have very sad lonely existances to feel the need to talk to themselves on the internet.... it is a bit like phoning yourself!

I often suspect that our Admin chaps have access to Members details, e-mail addresses, etc, that we don't have, and that if they are on the ball they are thankfully able to detect dubious characters on the Site that we are not aware of, and warn us about them... ;)...!

Cheers all...!

I HATE getting taken in by Internet Trolls... >:(...!

Paul... ;)... 8)...!

We know EVERYTHING ;D The mods are all-seeing oracles of wisdom (less Felix 'cos he just had those teeth out!) ;D
We secretly run the universe when nobody is looking ;) Ohh and Paul we KNOW what you've been up to..... this Nosh Jihad isn't going to catch on as trading in your AK-47 for a frying pan just lacks style in some corners of the world (the bits run by the media to be exact)..... however I think many gourmets will unite behind you ;) ;D All armed with spoons ;D

Somebody ought to make this a sticky, and perhaps Foz could start up the "SimV Neighbourhood Troll Watch" ;D

I'll be on the lookout for 'em foz! :)

Trolls? Pfft! Bring 'em on.

No troll can hide from the ultimate weapon of mass reduction. ;D
