In my life before vintage ;) I was in Med research and still help with administration of some patient support forums.

 

You will not believe some of the stuff that Trolls and Sock Puppets try!

 

On the admin forum we have a link to Flame Warriors which is always good for a giggle (and a blush as self recognition dawns lololol)  The cast of characters is in the drop down or you can just click "begin" ...

 

;-)

Is Sock Puppet a TVV term or a general one that is used everywhere? I've not heard that before! Such a cute name for such sorry people.

Amen, to your post on the DRAMA QUEENS.  Too much of that going on, on so many boards.  Groupies think they're above the rules and just love doing this.  I say give them one chance, in case they didn't know.  After that...well you can guess.

Thanks... :) There is a line... a fine line albeit, but it's there.

There is a night and day difference between venting and getting stuff off your chest or trying to solve a problem among friends and peers, but when you use a public forum as a platform to expose a private dispute to gain some sort of perceived support for your position, sorry... do that somewhere else.

Anytime someone needs help or needs to vent privately... I am here. All that has to be done is to contact me and I will do my best to help. Post stuff publicly, and we have a problem.

I wonder what you get when you breed a troll with a sock puppet. :P
