Troll hunting

Did you mean to be so rude, Holdingontomyteeth?

Does holding run a factory somewhere with his wife and a long-suffering workforce? There can’t be two posters as rude and pompous as this surely?

Nope trisher, that's a fairly accurate synopsis of the story so far. Riveting, isn't it?

I've just found this thread. Why is it I keep missing things? OK here's a summary of the story so far (If I miss anyhing do let me know.
There may or may not be Trolls around. If you see one you musn't act but tell HQ. There is an inner and an outer circle who are doing some sort of dance, but how you get into it is unclear. Someone has been biting children without introducing themselves. HQ have deleted some things to get rid of Trolls, but that doesn't mean there aren't any left. But you musn't mention them or people get upset. Someone thinks we are interesting enough to want to gather info about us!!
Anything else?

holding - I've heard/read something like your last post so many times. eg
"Let me try and keep it really simple, so that some may understand"
A last ditch attempt to recover the upper hand. It doesn't work any longer.

I'm losing the will to live now; it's just waaaaay past be interesting.

Gosh with every post you become less pleasant Holdingon
Does it take much work or does it all come naturally ?

But why on earth would you want to?
Do you really care that much?
I'm genuinely perplexed.

Let me try and keep it really simple, so that some may understand, and I have typed really slowly so that one or two of you may keep up with what I am saying.
To reassure those with a persecution complexion I have not got any records of you, how boring that would be.
I started with one of the more outlandish threads and worked on from there.
It is surprising what that throws up though obviously you need some comprehension to spot discrepancies.

I may appear in a different guise.

Oldbatty I am sure we would recognise you ?

Do I need a funny handshake to get in?

Miss Adventure look forward to meeting you in a certain "hostelry" close to us ??

Missadventure although I 'm too lazy not inclined to compile dossiers I do have an image of you! About my height (5'5") /slim (12-14)/ short neat hair /fairly determined and feisty/ quickwitted and with a good SoH/ a sympathetic, interesting and interested poster!!

You think kitty? Hmmmm......

Maybe hotmt is just Father Christmas - making a list, checking it twice......

Miss A , I feel now be the time to reveal my not very secretive dossier on you.

Ah yes, here we have it,interesting ,feisty, articulate, kind and funny.

Do we not all have some sort of memory of what other GNers are like or may have posted before? We don't actually formally collect this info but I remember eg if someone's DH is ill, who's due a new DGC, who's wondering about living somewhere etc etc. Never formally collated just there in the back of one's mind as one reads threads and posts. I know which Grans may be of like mind to me or who I often argue with etc etc.

Hazbeen, please don't go !
Dont let one poster put ypu off!

Hazbeen don’t go. I very much doubt holding’s ability to research posters’ backgrounds etc since personally I’ve always found the Gransnet search facility pathetic ?
I think holding sounds creepy too.
But Gransnet is a public forum - anyone out there can try to do what he claims to have done.
Just be careful what you post - a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself how you would feel if your post was read out in court.
That may sound dramatic but it does serve to rein in high feelings.

I see holding's behaviour in "researching posters" as a form of stalking. I know that may seem as an overreaction to some but not to some people. I normally take a lot of the comments etc in my stride but this hit a nerve so to speak. I feel his comments about other members distasteful at best and down right creepy if honest.

Nah, I m not fluxing, it’s a non flux day today

So you're not about to flux off?

They won’t find much of interest on me either MissA, mores the shame
I certainly wouldn’t think you need worry Hazbeen and the very worst just don’t write anything too personal Don’t let it unnerve you into leaving it’s a great place to chat, debate and have a laugh, some of the posters are so quick witted I often have a giggle No man (if Holding is a man I m not too sure myself on that one) will send me off in a flux

I couldn't care less if someone wants to compile a dossier on me.
Old, grey, fat, boring.
That just about sums up the facts about me.
