    for TROLLS! On top of our spammers, I'm pretty certain there is/are a (few) troll(s) amongst us.

    bored and lonely people??

    I know how lonely this month can be without family (it's just me and my child, noone else!). I feel like spamming all places sometimes as the child is in child care and I'm trying to deal with the divorce. I wouldn't troll, though.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure we have a troll in our midst, too!

    I hope you didn't think it was you I was referring to.

    We get trolls here a few times a year. They are usually kids or people who get a kick out of trying to ruffle feathers.

    I am not much of a social media person. This is the only site I really follow. I understand what a troll is, I think. I have seen the spam posts and just wonder why in they world they do that? What purpose does it serve the spammer?

    I don't quite grasp the spam ESP since none of it makes sense. I do think its done by spambots.

    The trolls are people who interact. They often have nothing to really contribute. Often they try to start an uproar by continually bringing up things that people on that type of board may be against... tattoos anyone? :lol:

    goodness no!!! I've only posted half a dozen times here, not troll worthy :lol: But I can imagine they are as bored as I am and feeling sad and upset and thus want to get some entertainment in an easy way. I feel for them. I hope they can find the help they need to deal with the hurt. Trolling isn't very effective to deal with hurt.

    (I don't troll, I knit).
