Troll hunting

I have been told off for troll hunting to which I hold my hands up- though I wasn't hunting, I'd found one!!

Shouldn't GNHQ be troll hunting for us. Those of us that have been here a while will be instinctively aware of malicious posters generally and can report (as I was told to) but how long does it take hq to look into something and what harm can be done to unsuspecting members in the interim?

I'm reminded of the apocryphal cricket quote 'The bowler's holding the batsman's willy.' grin

janeainsworth, we could adopt that. as the the GN Inner Circle theme tune. grin

I would give anything to be part of the Inner circle, but I failed the initiation interview. sad

Whether part of the secret sect on GN or not, I will continue to report links I think may contain malware or porn. This is not out of malice nor smugness, but out of concern for my fellow members, some who may not realise the danger in following the links.
Spotting links like this was part of my remit before I retired and I cannot forget all the training I had.

There's loads of space inside the non existent, completely imaginary, totally fictitious inner circle.

I m doing the okie cokie in the outer circle waiting to get in the inner circle, is there any space ?

Ah, but, could we apply this logic to it - to misquote Groucho Marx, "I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member." tchwink

kittylester Wed 19-Dec-18 16:42:54

I bet I'm not in the inner circle - I never am!

NanaandGrampy Wed 19-Dec-18 16:38:28

Well that's cleared that up then Jalima - I'm on the outside with my nose pressed up against the glass !

Back to the kitchen then , at least I have a seat , a mince pie and a glass of something there...erm ….cup of tea !!

Jalima1108 Wed 19-Dec-18 15:50:30

Oh dear dragonfly - your post made me feel so sad that I may have to go and have a lie down with a stiff G&T to hand

Jalima1108 Wed 19-Dec-18 15:47:59

We're on the outside, peering in at the happy crowd but I don't recognise anyone in there N&G
